Since 3D printers produce parts in 3 dimensions, you will have to consider at least two numbers: the minimum feature size of the XY plane and the Z-axis resolution (layer thickness or layer height). The Z-axis resolution is easily determined and therefore widely reported even though it is ...
What is metal 3D printing? How does this additive technology work? This article covers the basic principles of SLM (selective laser melting) and DMLS (direct metal laser sintering) and how these relate to the key benefits and limitations of 3D printing.

This extrusion head is attached to a three-axis system that allows it to move across the X, Y and Z axes. The printer extrudes melted material in thin strands and deposits them layer by layer along a path determined by the design. Once deposited, the material cools and solidifies. You...
What are the main differences between FFF and FDM 3D printing? Both technologies are similar, but FDM is a specific brand of FFF. In practice, FDM printers tend to be more commonly used in professional settings, while FFF is a more general term used in both hobbyist and professional 3D ...
“While additive manufacturing is well suited for prototyping and low-volume production,” Shuppert said, “scaling up to high-volume manufacturing can be difficult due to factors such as print speed, limited printer capacity and post-processing requirements.” ...
A piston is there (similar to SLS) at the bottom end of the resin chamber. The movements of the laser beam can be controlled along the X and Y axis. The movements of the fabrication piston can be controlled vertically (or the Z axis). So, again as with the SLS process, the ...
This is the reason for the additional characteristics ofArgo production systems: the 3d printingBeltless system, the automatic calibration of the Z axis and the automatic build plate leveling. The high crystallinity level and the outstanding mechanical properties of the3D printed componentspave the way...
CLIP is the same as DLP except that the build platform moves in a continuous motion. This allows for even faster build times and smoother contours along the z-axis.Some SLA methods of printing print parts upside down as they are drawn out of the resin Materials for vat photopolymerization Al...
