Digital Showroom for 3D Printers

The most widespread and accessible technology. It melts thermoplastic filament and extrudes it layer by layer. Ideal for rapid prototyping.

Built on photopolymer resin cured by a UV laser. It delivers exceptionally high resolution and smooth surfaces.

An industrial technology that uses a laser to sinter polymer powder. It needs no support structures and allows very complex geometries.

Uses an LCD screen as a mask over a UV light source to cure the resin. An extremely fast technology when printing many objects at once.

Direct sintering or melting of metal powder. It produces fully dense metal components.

Jets photopolymers layer by layer, allowing full-color printing that combines rigid and flexible materials in a single part.

Developed by HP, it applies a binding agent and a detailing agent onto a powder bed, then fuses them with infrared light to produce exceptionally strong parts.

Similar to SLA, but it uses a digital projector to expose an entire layer at once. Extremely fast and highly detailed.

Uses an electron beam in a vacuum to melt metal powder. Suited to high-strength alloys such as titanium, and used mainly in aerospace and medicine.

A technology without melting, in which a binding agent is deposited selectively onto a powder bed. Suited to foundry molds and series metal production, with no residual stress in the shape.

Uses a laser or electron beam to melt metal powder or wire as it is being deposited. The process suits repair of massive metal parts and the construction of very large objects.

Reinforces plastic parts with continuous strands of carbon fiber, Kevlar or fiberglass. It creates composite parts that can be stronger than aluminum.

Uses a robotic welding arm and an electric arc to melt metal wire layer by layer. It stands out for an exceptionally fast deposition rate, suited to very large parts.

Continuous Liquid Interface Production (also called Digital Light Synthesis) is a super fast resin-based technology. An oxygen-permeable window creates a 'dead zone' that removes the need to stop for each layer. It gives isotropic properties.

Uses plastic pellets directly instead of filament. It cuts material costs considerably and allows printing at very high speed and volume. It is often mounted on large robotic arms.

A technology unique to XJet, jetting hundreds of millions of liquid droplets carrying ceramic or metal nanoparticles. Once the liquid evaporates in the chamber, the parts come out with exceptional density and purity.

A nano and micro scale 3D printing technology based on femtosecond lasers. It reaches extreme resolution below 1 micrometer, for micro-optics and micro-mechanics.

Uses sheets of carbon fiber or fiberglass, stacked and bonded with a special polymer printed onto every layer. The result is parts lighter than aluminum and just as strong.

Specialized 3D printing that extrudes or laser-deposits bio-inks containing living cells, to build artificial tissue structures.

Large gantry or robotic systems that extrude a concrete mix to build architectural structures, houses and infrastructure.

Two-Photon Polymerization for sub-micron precision. It creates objects invisible to the naked eye, such as micro-optics, microrobots or scaffolds for stem cells.
