Different 3D printing Formats

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
This 3D printing format is a industrial 3D printing format that allows objects to be 3D printed in industrial materials such as heavy metals (Titanium, aluminium, glass, carbon fibre and other materials).

Fused Deposit Modeling (FDM)
This 3D printing format is a all around general use 3D printing format that can be found in most commercial 3D printers. This printing format only uses plastic as a primary 3D modelling base.




















Stereolithography (SLA)
Similar to FDM this 3D printing format uses plastic as a primary 3D modelling base, however this printing format allows for up to 5 times higher resolutions than normal FDM printers and prints off 3d models with details that can be up to a strand of hair in diameter.
