Design Guidelines
for 3D Printing

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing is a popular technology that uses a laser to cure a liquid resin, layer by layer, until the desired 3D model is created. This technology is most suitable for accurate concept models where feature definition and a smooth surface finish are required. SLA 3D printing offers a vast material selection with a range of properties, as well as the ability to print multiple materials and simulate overmolds.

One of the benefits of SLA 3D printing is its ability to create complex parts in a single operation. This can significantly reduce build time compared to traditional manufacturing processes, as multiple components can be produced simultaneously. SLA 3D printing is also capable of printing small and intricate details that are difficult to achieve with other technologies.

Multi Jet Fusion by HP

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a proprietary 3D printing process developed by HP. This technology is capable of producing functional plastic parts with isotropic mechanical properties, making it suitable for detailed prototyping or end-use low-volume production.

MJF works by depositing fusing and detailing agents onto a bed of powder material in a layer-by-layer fashion. The material is then fused together using intense heat and pressure, creating parts with high dimensional accuracy and excellent surface finish.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a 3D printing technology that uses a high-power laser to selectively sinter powdered material (such as nylon, polyamide or TPU) into a solid object, layer by layer. Unlike FDM, SLA or MJF, the material is not melted into a liquid form, but rather transformed into a solid state directly from powder form.

SLS allows for the creation of strong, functional and intricate parts, making it a popular choice for industrial and aerospace applications. The process offers a high degree of design freedom, and parts produced via SLS have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and heat resistance. Additionally, SLS parts can be post-processed for improved surface finish and texture.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most widely used 3D printing technologies. It works by melting a thermoplastic material and extruding it through a nozzle to create a part layer-by-layer. FDM is highly versatile and can print a wide range of materials, including PLA, PETG, TPU, and more.

FDM does have some limitations. The layer-by-layer printing process can result in visible layer lines on the surface of the part. Despite these limitations, FDM remains a popular choice for a wide range of applications, from prototyping to low-volume production. With the right material selection and post-processing techniques, FDM can produce parts that are both functional and visually appealing.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

 

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an additive manufacturing technology that uses a high-power laser to fuse metal powders layer by layer into a 3D object. The process is similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), but instead of sintering plastic powders, it uses metal powders to create parts with high strength, durability, and complexity.

DMLS can produce parts with a wide range of metals, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and cobalt chrome. The technology is widely used in the aerospace and medical industries, where the production of complex and custom metal parts is essential.
