What materials can be used in SLS?
|
Polymers (metals or ceramics are coated with polymers)
|
|
|
What format do SLS materials need to be in?
|
Powder
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in SLS?
|
Particles are joined by sintering, through exposure to IR light (using a laser)
|
|
|
What materials can be used in SLA?
|
Thermoset epoxy or acrylic (thermoset or thermoplastic)resins
|
|
|
What format do SLA materials need to be in?
|
Liquid photopolymer
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in SLA?
|
Points to be solidified are exposed to UV radiation, usually in the form of a laser
|
|
|
What materials can be used in SLM?
|
Metals
|
|
|
What format do SLM materials need to be in?
|
Powder
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in SLM?
|
Particles are joined by melting, through exposure to IR light (using a laser)
|
|
|
What materials can be used in 3DP?
|
Ceramics (can be infiltrated with other materials)
|
|
|
What format do 3DP materials need to be in?
|
Powder (Liquid binder)
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in 3DP?
|
Binder is jetted onto powder, joining powder together. Post-process, material is infiltrated into the part.
|
|
|
What materials can be used in Jetting?
|
Wax, thermoplastics or photosensitive thermosets
|
|
|
What format do Jetting materials need to be in?
|
Liquid in nozzle (either due to heat, or lack of light exposure)
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in Jetting?
|
Material is jetted out of a nozzle onto the build platform. For wax and thermoplastics, a heated nozzle is used to keep material above melting point until it is deposited. For thermosets, deposited material is photo-cured.

|
What materials can be used in FDM?
|
Polymers (e.g. ABS, Polycarbonate)
|
|
|
What format do FDM materials need to be in?
|
Filament
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in FDM?
|
Heating and extrusion
|
|
|
What materials can be used in Lamination?
|
Paper, plastics, metals, ceramics
|
|
|
What format do Lamination materials need to be in?
|
Sheets
|
|
|
What process is used to construct each layer in Lamination?
|
Adhesive bonding, friction welding (e.g. UC), welding
|
