Overview of 3D-Printing Technologies
This lesson covers the different types of 3D Printing Technologies used in commercially available 3D Printers. These various types of technologies are listed below:
- SLA (Stereolithography)
- DLP (Digital Light Processing)
- MSLA (Mask Stereolithography)
- CDLP (Continuous Digital Light Processing)
- FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling)
- MJ (Material Jetting)
- MJF (Multi Jet Fusion)
- SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
- DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)
- EBM (Electron Beam Melting)
- LENS (Laser Engineered Net Shaping)
- EBAM (Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing)
- LOM (Laminated object manufacturing)
The overview of the main 3D printing technologies such as the SLS, DMSL and Photopolymerization technologies (SLA, MSLA and DLP) and their various applications is covered in this lesion. More specifically, the lesson provides answers to the following questions:
- How do Photopolymerization technologies work?
- What are the main types Photopolymerization 3D printers available for industrial applications and for non-industrial applications?
- What are the pros and the cons of the Photopolymerization 3D printing technologies?
The FDM technology, which is mainly focused in this course, is discussed in the next lesson.
