Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing technology or 3D printing is type of technology that uses successive layers of material to create 3D objects
3D Printing
3D printing is a process that creates physical objects from digital models. In product design, 3D printing allows for rapid prototyping, enabling designers and engineers to test and refine design concepts quickly. This quick turnaround can lead to faster time-to-market for new products and improved product quality. 3D printing can also be used for low-volume production runs and the creation of custom, one-off parts. In recent years, technology has advanced to the point where it can produce end-use products with high accuracy and repeatability.
Vat Photopolymerization
Vat Photopolymerization is AM technology that produces 3D objects by curing photopolymer liquid resin using light waves.
Material Extrusion – Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
In the material extrusion, plastic filament is fed through a heated extruding nozzle and deposited onto the building platform layer by layer.

Material Jetting
Material Jetting is one of the 7 types of Additive manufacturing technologies in which droplets of material are selectively jetted and cured to form part
Binder Jetting
Binder Jetting is an Additive Manufacturing process in which a binding liquid is selectively deposited to join powder material together to form a 3D part
Powder Bed Fusion – SLS, DMLS, EBM & MJF
Powder bed fusion is an AM technique that uses either laser, thermal energy or electron beam to melt and fuse the material to form a 3D part
Rapid prototyping
Rapid prototyping is the process of quickly creating a preliminary version of the product to evaluate the design and its functionality
Directed Energy Deposition (DED)
Directed Energy Deposition forms parts by melting material as it is deposited using a laser, electron beam or plasma arc.
