Electron Beam Melting (EBM) is part of the powder bed fusion family. Unlike Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), it uses, as its name suggests, an electron beam to fuse metal particles and create, layer by layer, […]
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) is a more complex 3D printing process, typically used to repair or add additional material to existing components. It is completely possible to fabricate parts from scratch using this technology, but it […]
All technologies part of the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) family use a build platform containing powder material to additively manufacture a part - the powder can be polymers or metals. It was during the 1990s that […]
There are currently multiple additive manufacturing technologies that exist in the industry, each focusing on different materials and sectors. Today, we present to you our complete guide on Binder Jetting, a technology used for ceramic materials, […]
3D printing continues at a frantic pace, but the processes behind this technology are still unclear to some. After our articles on Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technologies, we now present Material […]
There are multiple 3D printing technologies within the industry, they are used in different sectors and for different utilities. Among them is Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). How does this technology work? What materials can be used? […]
Stereolithography is considered to be the process behind 3D printing, with the first equipment being patented in 1984 by Charles Hull, and the first commercial machine developed by 3D Systems in 1988. Today, we are going […]
FDM is the principle technology in 3D printing. It is the most recognized in the 3D printing world, known by the name of ‘Fused Deposition Modeling’ or FDM or FFF for short. S. Scott Crump developed FDM […]
