How to Choose the Best 3D Printing Method: SLA vs FDM
Share
When it comes to 3D printing, the question often arises: Which is the best method, SLA or FDM? For those in Canada, especially Toronto, Mississauga, and the GTA, Technast has the expertise to help you make the right decision.
An Overview of SLA and FDM 3D Printing
Stereolithography (SLA) and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) are two of the most popular 3D printing methods. While SLA uses a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic, FDM melts a plastic filament and extrudes it layer by layer to build the model.
When to Choose SLA
SLA is perfect when you require high resolution and intricate details. This method is ideal for jewelry prototyping and creating luxury biomorphic style objects. Technast's SLA services include resin prints and cast-ready prep, ensuring superior quality and precision.
When to Choose FDM
FDM works best for functional parts and prototypes, thanks to its strong and durable materials. For instance, Technast uses FDM to produce fully customizable, glow-in-the-dark license plate frames.
