Achieving Optimal Results in 3D Printing
At Technast, we specialize in creating intricate, futuristic 3D printed objects for a variety of high-end retail and scientific applications. From Toronto to Mississauga and across the GTA, we're known for our advanced design, luxury biomorphic style, and fast, professional service. Below, you'll discover how to get the best results from your SLA/FDM 3D printing projects.
Understanding SLA and FDM Technologies
Before diving into the details, it's crucial to understand the difference between SLA (Stereolithography) and FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technologies. Both are subsets of 3D printing but operate under different mechanisms and principles. Choosing the right technology for your project can significantly influence the outcome.
Best Practices for SLA/FDM 3D Printing
- Design with the process in mind: 3D printing, whether SLA or FDM, has its unique attributes. Consider these when designing your model for optimal results.
- Choose the right material: Different materials have unique characteristics that can affect the final product. Our material selection guide can help you make an informed decision.
- Post-processing: From support removal to surface finishing and curing, proper post-processing is crucial to achieve a high-quality finish.
