Fused Filament Fabrication

FFF, also known as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), feeds a thermoplastic filament through a heated nozzle, melting and extruding it in thin layers to build a 3D object. The material solidifies upon cooling, bonding to previous layers. Known for its affordability and ease of use, FFF offers diverse material options and produces functional parts with good mechanical properties, ideal for rapid prototyping and custom manufacturing.

Multi Jet Fusion

MJF uses a powder bed where a binder and fusing agents are selectively jetted to heat and fuse powder particles layer by layer, creating fully dense, precise parts. Known for excellent mechanical properties and support-free complex geometries, MJF offers an efficient, cost-effective solution for mid-volume toolless production (up to 10,000 parts annually).

Tolerances: ±0.30 mm and above
Material Type: Polymer Powders
Post-Processing Options: Sandblasting

Selective Laser Sintering

SLS builds parts by using a laser to fuse powdered material spread across a platform. Each new layer of powder is added and fused until the part is complete. Capable of processing materials like PA, PP, and TPU, it delivers durable, precise components without support structures. Thanks to this flexibility, SLS is widely used for complex prototypes, functional testing, and small- to mid-volume production.

Tolerances: ±0.30 mm and above
Material Type: Polymer Powders
Post-Processing Options: Sandblasting

Stereolithography

SLA uses a UV laser to solidify liquid resin layer by layer, tracing each cross-section of the model before moving the platform for the next layer. Known for its exceptional resolution and smooth surface finish, SLA is ideal for highly detailed, precise parts with excellent surface quality and isotropic mechanical properties.

Tolerances: ±0.15 mm and above
Material Type: Photopolymer Resins
Post-Processing Options: Sanding, Priming, Painting

Laser Powder Bed Fusion

LPBF, or SLM (Selective Laser Melting), uses a laser to melt and fuse metal powder layer by layer from a digital model. It produces 99% dense, high-strength metal parts with fine detail and complex geometries. Widely used in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries, LPBF offers cost and time advantages for complex, low-volume production compared to machining or casting.

Tolerances: ±0.20 mm and above
Material Type: Metal Powders
Post-Processing Options: Heat Treatment, Sandblasting

Binder Jetting

Binder Jetting deposits a liquid binder onto layers of metal powder, bonding particles to form a part that is later sintered for strength and density. It enables fast, cost-effective production of small, complex metal components (typically under 150 mm) and is well suited for rapid prototyping, custom tooling, and small to medium production runs.
