3D Printing-- Choosing the Right 3D Printing Process for You

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Evelyn Reed

The emergence of 3D printing technology which has brought the dream of creating three dimensional materials in a single process into a reality has developed various innovations, each machine type specializing on particular materials and deposition process, making it more accessible and convenient to almost anyone. When you figure out what you want to make with a 3D printer, what materials you 'd like to utilize, and what your purpose is in making it, you can then choose the most appropriate 3D printer for you.
In Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), materials like thermoplastics, metal powders, and even edible materials are melted or softened to produce the layers. FDM has brought about the development of commercial and do-it-yourself printers making the technology cheaper and more available. The process is controlled by a Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) software package and uses various polymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), and polylactic acid (PLA).
Stereolithography (SLA) and Digital Light Processing (DLP), in the other hand, use different sophisticated technologies to cure liquid materials like photopolymer. Polymerization is primarily used in Chuck Hull's SLA. Layers of liquid material are solidified into shapes until all layers are in solid state forming the prototype. DLP follows the same theme for solidifying liquid materials through light exposure. EnvisionTec Ultra and inkjet printer systems are examples of this approach.
Some processes involve cutting layers to shape and joining them together. Such is the case in Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) which uses materials like paper, metal foil, and plastic film. This is considered a low-cost approach since paper and other cheaper materials are being used. In LOM, paper materials are coated with special adhesive using a carbon dioxide laser and are laminated together. Another approach is invented by Mcor Technologies Ltd in which ordinary paper are cut into shapes by a Tungsten carbide blade, and are bonded together by selective deposition of adhesive and pressure to form the prototype.
Getting one 3D printer is limited only the materials that it can utilize. Knowing what you want to make with your 3D printer, and considering issues on cost, availability of materials, and purpose can help you decide which 3D printer is right for you.
