3D printing techniques

The right 3D printing technique takes your project to the next level. Discover our advanced techniques, each with unique advantages for different applications.

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D-printing

MJF delivers robust parts ready for direct use in end products and machines, with exceptional mechanical properties.

 

Why choose MJF?

 

  • Superior mechanical properties
  • Efficient production for medium-sized series
  • Excellent dimensional accuracy
  • Ideal for functional applications

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D-printing

SLS creates complex structures without support structures, making it perfect for functional prototypes and small production runs.

 

Why choose SLS?

 

  • Extensive capabilities for complex shapes
  • Excellent mechanical properties in all directions
  • No need for support structures
  • Cost-effective for small batches

Stereolithography (SLA)

SLA performs optimally when appearance and precision are top priorities. This technique uses liquid resin that is cured layer by layer with UV light.

 

Why choose SLA?

 

  • Exceptional precision and detailing
  • Smooth finish with no visible layer lines
  • Possibility of transparent parts
  • Excellent for medical models and presentation prototypes
