Briefly explained
How 3D printing works
The term “3D printing” covers various additive manufacturing techniques in which material is applied step by step to create a three-dimensional workpiece. 3D printing is mainly used for rapid prototyping, rapid tooling and small batch manufacturing. Here are the key manufacturing methods in 3D printing at a glance.
3D printing solutions for functional prototypes and tools.
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
In the FDM 3D printing process, a plastic wire, also known as a filament, is melted in the hot end of the printer and deposited layer by layer onto the print bed. It is suitable for materials that can be liquefied or deformed under heat. Typical materials are thermoplastics such as ABS, PLA, PVA, HIPS, PET, nylon as well as filaments based on metals, stone, wood and other materials. After application, the material hardens by cooling.
Unification of materials and colour design
Polyjet process (Multijet Modelling MJM)
In the Polyjet process, very fine droplets of a photopolymer are applied to a platform through a print head and immediately cured using UV light.
Polyjet enables the processing of ultra-thin layers (up to 14 μm) and offers an exceptionally high level of detail with surfaces similar to injection moulding. Different materials can be used and even mixed in production, which enables completely new material properties.
Therefore, polyjet printing is an extremely versatile process with a wide range of applications in prototyping.
Powder-based 3D printing
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
The powder bed-based 3D printing process of selective laser sintering (SLS) has particular application in the production of prototypes and finished components made of plastic and metal.
SLS 3D printers use similar working principles to SLA machines by using lasers to create components. However, in SLS printing, the component layers are formed by sintering layers of powder that are applied layer by layer, rather than resin.
The ability to process a wide range of high-precision materials makes SLS 3D printing particularly well suited to industries such as aerospace and automotive.
For components with demanding shapes and structures
Stereolithography (SLA)
The SLA process uses a basin filled with liquid photopolymer resin, also known as resin. A UV laser cures the photosensitive material at pre-defined locations. The platform is lowered layer by layer, allowing the printing process to continue.
Since the workpiece is surrounded in a liquid during the printing process, this requires the use of support structures. These supports enable the precise production of components with extremely complex geometries. The SLA process is even suitable for use in medical technology.
