Stereolithography (SLA)
SLA prototyping is one of the earliest 3D printing methods. It uses a UV light to cure a photopolymer, such as ABS, layer-by-layer, making a durable plastic solid with good resolution of detail. SLA is typically not fast but it wastes little material, and the prototype can be used “as is” or as a master mold for a polyurethane vacuum casting.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
SLS prototyping uses a laser to fuse powdered Nylon into a physical solid layer-by-layer. The process makes a prototype with a rougher surface texture that requires secondary finishing if it’s to be used as a master mold, but the advantage is that the prototype is more robust than its SLA counterpart, making it more suitable for mechanical models.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
In FDM, a thermoplastic filament is heated to its melting point and then extruded, layer by layer, to create a three dimensional object.
