Popular 3D Printing Technologies

Fused_Filament_Fabrication_FFF

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF/FDM)

Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is a 3D printing process in which thermoplastic material is pushed through a heated nozzle to create objects layer by layer.

Digital Light Processing (DLP)

Digital light processing (DLP) is a 3D printing process that uses resin and a digital projector screen to flash an image of a layer across the entire platform, curing all points simultaneously.
