FFF/FDM Technology

Thermoplastics manufactured using melted filament extrusion technology.
Advantages:ย Low cost, versatility. Suitable for printing large-scale prototypes, functional parts, or presentation models.

Disadvantages:ย Lower strength in the direction of the layers and varying surface texture depending on the part orientation.

MJF/SLS Technology

Thermoplastics manufactured using polymer powder sintering technology

Advantages: Higher accuracy and strength, high design freedom.

Disadvantages: Less abrasion-resistant and absorbent surface (if not chemically smoothed).

SLA/DLP Technology

Thermosets manufactured using resin curing technology.

Advantages: High surface quality and large build volume (up to 800 mm).

Disadvantages: Higher brittleness and low resistance to UV light.

DMLS/SLM Technologies

Laser-based metal powder sintering technology.

Advantages: Production of metal parts with complex or otherwise unmanufacturable geometries.

Disadvantages: Relatively coarse tolerances and varying surface texture depending on part orientation.

Binder Jetting

Metal powder sintering technology using a binder.

Advantages: High productivity, lower cost.

Disadvantages: Low printing accuracy, higher porosity. Suitable for less precise parts or for producing semi-finished products. Properties comparable to powder metallurgy.

  • We used a 3-day training for advanced 3D printing and we were given know-how, which saved us a lot of time and resources. The training provided us with a comprehensive view of 3D printing technology and the possibilities of its use in specific applications. The approach to training was excellent.

    In our company MTS, we invested in 3D printing technology in 2019. Therefore, we turned to Stepanek3D with a request to optimize and fine-tune the print. Counseling helped us understand some of the processes we didn't understand before. Our company still benefits from extraordinary know-how and experience.

    I would like to thank Stepanek3D for professional training in the field of 3D printing, which helped us to streamline our work in production and also in the design of parts. We also recommend attending the training to other companies that want to start dealing with or improve in the use of these technologies.

Manufacturability assessment

Manufacturability assessment and quotation begin upon receiving a 3D model in STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, or 3MF format. If you donโ€™t have your own 3D model, we can help create one based on your specifications by sending us a photo, drawing, or sketch.
