3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing refers to a group of technologies used to build three-dimensional objects.

Depending on your project’s characteristics, the object you need to print, and the quality and cost required, one 3D printing technology might be more suitable than the others.

Currently, the most used technologies are FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) but what are the main differences between FDM and SLS processes?

Although there are professional and industrial FDM 3D Printers, most printers of this type are consumer-grade printers, meaning that they are the most affordable kind of 3D printers and are mostly oriented towards a moderate printing frequency for one or a few users.

On the other side, most SLS printers are professional 3D printers or industrial ones. Their cost represents a significant investment but they can handle thousands of high-quality prints per week on uninterrupted […]
