Each additive manufacturing technology has its own unique capabilities and its own set of strengths. To help you better understand each of these technologies and what sort of products and parts they\u2019re best suited for, we\u2019ve drawn upon the knowledge of our engineers to create these comprehensive, easy-to-read charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you look at these charts, you\u2019ll find information about the capabilities of vat polymerization technologies, including\u00a0stereolithography (SLA)\u00a0and\u00a0Carbon\u00ae Digital Light Synthesis\u2122; powder bed fusion technologies, including selective laser sintering (SLS) and\u00a0HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF);\u00a0material extrusion; material jetting; and binder jetting<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
