FDM Technologies

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is the most popular 3D printing technology for rapid prototyping and affordable part production. Ideal for engineers, designers, and hobbyists, FDM 3D printers support materials like PLA, ABS, PETG, and even composite filaments. Compared to high viscosity resin systems, FDM offers simpler workflows, reliable results, and excellent value for high-precision functional prints.

Resin Systems

Resin 3D printing delivers ultra-high detail and smooth surface finishes for prototyping, dental, jewelry, and engineering applications. The main types include SLA (Stereolithography), DLP (Digital Light Processing), and MSLA (Masked SLA). A newer, cutting-edge method is VLM (Viscous Lithography Manufacturing), which allows high-viscosity resin printing with mechanical film transfer, enabling stronger parts, faster throughput, and broader material compatibility. VLM systems outperform traditional resin printers by handling thick composite resins with ease, making them ideal for functional, end-use components where detail and durability matter.
