You don’t need to know every acronym to start. Use these broad introductions to ask a provider better questions.
A nozzle deposits melted filament in layers. Commonly considered for early prototypes, enclosures, fixtures, and small batches. Ask about layer direction, surface finish, and dimensional tolerances.
Common materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPUExplore providersSLA, MSLA, and DLP cure resin with light. Often considered for models, detailed miniatures, and presentation pieces. Ask about resin properties, post-curing, brittleness, and intended use.
Common materials: provider-specified photopolymer resinsExplore providersPowder-based processes often support complex nylon geometries without the same support structures used in filament printing. Ask about wall thickness, surface finish, and batch economics.
Common material: Nylon; confirm exact gradeExplore providersDescribe your intended use, quantity, dimensions, finish, and deadline. Ask about design checks and material suitability. Share confidential files only after agreeing directly with your provider.
