Comparing Different 3D Printing Methods: FDM, SLA, and SLS
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Advantages:
- Simple operation and maintenance
- Cost-effective and eco-friendly
- Compact design for desktop use
- Wide material compatibility
Disadvantages:
- Visible layering on surfaces
- Lamination quality affects part strength
Stereolithography (SLA)
Advantages:
- High precision and smooth surface finish
- Ideal for detailed small parts
- Easy to operate integrated system
Disadvantages:
- Chemically irritating raw materials
- Need for post-processing chemicals
- Sticky material that can stain surroundings
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Advantages:
- Minimal powder residue and strong mechanical properties
- No support material required
Disadvantages:
- Large equipment size
- Need for protective masks during post-processing
- Limited material options and color choices
