How do I select the right 3D printing process for my prints?

You can select the right 3D printing process by examining which materials suit your need and what your use case is.

By material: if you already know which material you would like to use, selecting a 3D printing process is relatively easy, as many materials are technology specific.
By use case: once you know whether you need a functional or visual part, choosing a process is easy.

For more help, read our guide to selecting the right 3D printing process. Find out more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Stereolithography (SLA).

How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?

In order to reduce the cost of your 3D prints you need to understand the impact certain factors have on cost. The main cost influencing factors are the material type, individual part volume, printing technology and post-processing requirements.

Once these have been decided, an easy way to further cut costs is to reduce the amount of material used. This can be done by decreasing the size of your model, hollowing it out, and eliminating the need for support structures.

Xometry's High Quality 3D Printing Services

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

An additive manufacturing layer technology, SLS involves the use of a high power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse small particles of plastic powders into a mass that has a desired three-dimensional shape. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3-D digital description of the part (for example from a CAD file or scan data) on the surface of a powder bed. After each cross-section is scanned, the powder bed is lowered by one layer thickness, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) is a robust 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high-resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

SLA is an additive manufacturing process that focuses an ultraviolet (UV) light on a vat of photopolymer resin. It offers higher resolution printing than many other 3D printing technologies, allowing customers to print parts with fine details and surface finishes. SLA 3D printing is a highly-versatile platform for making custom parts in prototype and production settings; often acting as a stand-in for injection-molded plastic parts.

Xometry offers both standard and high-resolution options for fine detail parts, and can also print larger sized parts and products, with some materials offering up to a 58" inch build area. In addition, Xometry's manufacturing partner network allows us to offer a larger variety of materials than other 3D printing companies - we offer a wide range of both Accura and Somos brand materials.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a 3D printing technology widely known for its speed, accuracy, and competitive cost. A machine precisely extrudes melted plastic filament to create a part. Parts are very rigid, especially compared to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which makes them a great fit for projects with a rigidity requirement. Xometry's FDM solution offers large build volumes up to 24″ x 36″ x 36″, a variety of colors, and a diverse selection of production-grade thermoplastics — from ABS to Polycarbonate to Ultem.

Download the FDM Design Guide.

HP Multi Jet Fusion (HP MJF)

HP Multi Jet Fusion is a new 3D printing technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping. Since the process uses well-established 2D printing ink-jetting, it has remarkably fast layer times compared to other powder bed fusion technologies.

Download the HP Multi Jet Fusion Design Guide.

PolyJet 3D (PJ3D)

PolyJet 3D is a 3D printing technology known for its customizable material properties and excellent surface finish. It works by jetting UV curable resin onto a build tray in a process that is somewhat similar to inkjet printing. PolyJet 3D printing offers one of the most advanced industrial 3D printing solutions available, producing parts with incredible precision and speed. It also supports a wide variety of build materials including rigid and rubber-like plastics. Xometry's PolyJet solution has a maximum build envelope of 19.3 × 15.4 × 7.9 in. (490 × 390 × 200 mm) in a variety of colors and materials.

Download the PolyJet 3D Design Guide.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an 3D metal printing technology that builds prototype and production metal parts from a CAD file using a laser to selectively fuse a fine metal powder in either stainless steel or aluminum materials. A DMLS machine is capable of producing highly complex features and all-in-one assemblies using metal materials that would be difficult to achieve with subtractive manufacturing techniques.

Our DMLS metal 3D printing service typically offers build volumes up to 250 x 250 x 325 mm, but we may be able to accommodate larger part volumes upon request in the quote. (See our Manufacturing Standards for more details) A good first step is to find out the cost of the parts you need using DMLS and compare them to other 3D printing processes and CNC machining.

Download the DMLS Design Guide.

Carbon DLS™

Carbon DLS™ uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce products with end-use durability, resolution and surface finish. This 3D printing technology is called Digital Light Synthesis™, or DLS for short. Another legacy term for the process is Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP). Along with Carbon’s custom liquid resins, DLS unlocks new business opportunities and product designs previously impossible, including mass customization and on-demand inventory of end-use products.

Carbon bridges, and sometimes substitutes, for processes like Urethane Casting and Injection Molding service production, because the materials are urethane-based or epoxy-based, giving excellent mechanical properties. There are even elastomer and silicone resins that outperform most additive manufactured rubber-like materials.

The typical build area is 7.4” x 4.6” x 12.8”. Parts with dimensions exceeding 4” x 4” x 6” will require manual review.

Download the Carbon DLS Design Guide.

Metal Binder Jetting

With binder jetting, an inkjet print head quickly deposits a bonding agent onto a thin layer of powdered particles -- either metal, sand, ceramics or composites. This process is repeated, layer-by-layer, using a map from a digital design file, until the object is complete. Binder jetting is offered through our Digital RFQ Marketplace through Xometry's partnership with ExOne.

Is there 3D printing on Mars?

The American space agency NASA has announced the winners of the competition for habitable modules, which are supposed to be created on Mars for the first earthly colonists. It is assumed that the houses will be created directly on the Red Planet without human intervention - by robots and 3D printers. Martian dwellings must withstand dust storms and low temperatures, and at the same time provide an "earthly" level of comfort. And although the virtual models you see look like frames from science fiction films, all these projects were created using industrial tools and with the participation of a wide range of experts. The winners will each receive $100,000 to present real models of Martian houses next year.

In first place is the project of the Zopherus team from Arkansas. As conceived by the inventors, a special spider-shaped apparatus equipped with 3D printers will land on the surface of the planet and will create habitable modules one by one from the Martian soil.

New York-based AI SpaceFactory's MARSHA project came in second. The designers felt that a four-story beehive-shaped structure would be optimal for Mars.

Third-place winner Kahn-Yates, Mississippi, came up with an elongated design, complete with a translucent outer frame that allows light to pass through while protecting against dust storms. The basis of such a house will be delivered to Mars in finished form, and the outer part will be printed on site.

Fourth place went to the SEArch + / Apis Cor project, the creators of which put at the forefront the maximum protection against radiation and the concentration of sunlight. The Martian residential complex consists of two independent high pressure zones and is built on an inclined plane.

And finally, in fifth place is the team of Northwestern Evanston University (Illinois). The authors have developed a project for the construction of spherical modules, similar to the dwellings of the polar peoples - an igloo. The foundation is made using a 3D printer, then a capsule lands on it, which inflates and turns into a dome.

"Our footprints will remain on the dusty paths of distant planets." This line from a 1960s ditty sounds more and more scientific and less and less fantastical.

Return of the mammoth

Materialize is implementing the largest stereolithographic 3D printing project in its history, a life-size reconstruction of a mammoth skeleton. Experts scanned 320 bones of an ancient mammal, which will then be 3D printed, processed and mounted on a special frame. This skeleton will be on display in the Belgian city of Lier, where the remains of a mammoth were discovered 150 years ago.

New alligator tail

What is an alligator without a tail? Perhaps still a formidable, but almost helpless animal, doomed to a slow death in the wild. Ten years ago, Arizona rescuers accidentally picked up such a disabled alligator - he lost his tail, apparently in a fight. In 2013, scientists at Midwestern University created for Mr. Stubbs (the two-meter-high reptile was nicknamed “Stub”) a silicone prosthetic tail made from a plaster cast. Time passed, the alligator grew, and he needed a new prosthesis. This time, it was dangerous to apply plaster, and modern technology suggested a new solution: perform a 3D scan, print a plaster master model on a 3D printer, and only after that make a silicone prosthesis that fits the animal perfectly. With a full tail, Mr. Stubbs feels comfortable!

Submarine jetpack for each

Archie O'Brien, a student at Loughborough University in England, has collaborated with the Dutch company 3D Hubs to develop an underwater jetpack that will be an affordable alternative to expensive "toys" like the Seabob scooter. A backpack called CUDA is controlled by body movements, and you can change the speed using a wired controller. 45 parts for the machine were produced using several 3D printing technologies, which reduced the final cost of the final product - namely, affordable price was the priority of the project. CUDA is expected to enter production next year.

3D printer sends rain

Technology and art have merged together in the performance based on the work of the Belgian playwright Stine Deville "Conversation with the rain". The play takes place in Singapore during the rainy season, so the director had a difficult task - to realistically portray the endless streams of water in the background of the stage. The solution was found thanks to 3D printing, programming and ... a huge amount of water. On a 3D printer using SLS technology, a “rain machine” was printed, modeled in Materialize Magic software. With a length of 8.5 m, the device is made of waterproof plastic and has a lightweight design, so it is easy to transport while on tour. The machine imitates not just a curtain of rain, but also images and even words, creating a special magical atmosphere during the performance.

Construction Boom 3D

Three-dimensional technologies in construction? This has long been no surprise to anyone - today 3D printers print blocks of buildings quickly, like pancakes. However, the world media noted an interesting trend: a new construction boom is starting in the world, and by 2025, 5% of all residential buildings will be created on 3D printers. Such a construction process is much cheaper and faster than the traditional one, while doing no harm to the environment. In early summer in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, home to a large number of high-tech businesses, local authorities announced a decision to build an entire residential area using 3D printers.
