3D printing techniques. Rapid prototyping manufacturing.<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As we explained to our community of inventors, 3D printing is not the same as manufacturing a working prototype. In fact, 3D printing techniques are only part of the manufacturing process of a prototype.<\/p>

3D printing techniques allow to accelerate the innovation process, facilitating the realization of countless proofs of concept. As you know, the ability to iterate is key to getting the best possible functional prototype.<\/p>

As 3D printing techniques become so relevant, from the technical team of Let's Prototype we will make a very brief and practical summary so that you can understand the most democratized options in the market, of course, also available in our prototype design and manufacturing laboratory.<\/p>

What are the most popular 3D printing techniques?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

  1. Fused deposition modeling. Better known as FDM.<\/span><\/li>
  2. Stereolithography. Better known as SLA.<\/span><\/li>
  3. Sinterizado Selectivo. Conocido popularmente como SLS.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    What is Fused Deposition Modeling?\u00a0 (FDM)<\/b><\/p>

    FDM is the most democratized 3D printing technique on the market. It is the printer that comes to mind when the term is mentioned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    This type of 3D printers make up the pieces while feeding on plastics in the form of filaments, like a kind of thick thread, which goes through a hot extruder that places the material through points, layer by layer, until the construction of the pieces is achieved.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The reality is that, in a few hours, almost any type of part can be built, useful for testing concepts and finding substantial improvements over functional prototypes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    In Let's Prototype we have tested multiple models of 3D printers (FDM), the truth is that, although it seems to build parts autonomously and accurately, the reality is different:<\/p>
