A laser selectively melts a bed of metal powder, layer by layer. The result is parts with near-100% density and geometries that conventional machining cannot achieve: internal channels, lattice structures, lightweight parts.
Metal powder or wire is melted by a concentrated energy source (laser, electric arc or electron beam) right at the point of deposition. It allows large parts to be built and material to be added to existing components.
A thermoplastic filament is melted and extruded layer by layer. It is the most widely used and versatile 3D printing technology, with a wide choice of materials.
A laser sinters polymer powder; the unfused powder supports the part, so no supports are needed. Great geometric freedom and nearly uniform mechanical properties in all directions.
Inkjet heads deposit a fusing agent and a detailing agent onto the powder; infrared lamps then consolidate the treated areas. Fast lead times and consistent quality even on large batches.
A liquid photosensitive resin is cured by a UV laser, layer by layer. It offers the best surface finish and the finest detail among polymer technologies.
