3D Printing Technologies
Categories- Laser Cutter: Laser cutter printers use precise laser beams to cut and engrave materials, offering high accuracy.
- FDM: FDM printers use melted plastic filament for layered object creation, offering versatility and affordability.
- LCD: LCD printers use light-curing resin and an LCD screen for high-resolution, detailed prints.
- SLS: SLS printers use laser-sintered powder for strong, detailed parts without support structures.
- Resin (LCD): Resin (LCD) printers use light-curing resin and LCD screens for high-resolution, detailed prints.
- SLA: SLA printers use laser-cured liquid resin for high-resolution, smooth prints with fine details.
- FFF: FFF printers use melted filament for layered printing, similar to FDM, offering versatility and affordability.
- MSLA: MSLA printers use an LCD screen to cure resin, offering high-resolution prints with fine details.
- MSLA (Resin): MSLA (Resin) printers use LCD screens to cure liquid resin, producing high-detail, smooth prints.
