3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object.
3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine.
3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
Additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer manufacturing (ALM) is the Industrial Production Name for 3DPrinting, a computer controlled process that creates three dimensional objects by depositing materials, usually in layers.
The term 3D printing encompasses an umbrella of several manufacturing technologies that build parts layer-by-layer. Each vary in the way they form plastic and metal parts and can differ in material selection, surface finish, durability, and manufacturing speed and cost.
There are several types of 3D printing, which include:
Click on the name of the individual 3D printing technology offered by Additive3D Asia.
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is one of the most common 3D printing processes today.
The technology builds 3D printed objects by moving an extrusion nozzle over a build platform. The process involves the use of thermoplastic material that reaches the melting point. Subsequently, the filament is then extruded to create a 3D object layer by layer along a specifically determined path. These layers then fuse together to form a finished product.

Stereolithography, or SLA 3D printing technology, is a popular additive manufacturing technique and sought-after service in Singapore and across the globe. It works by making use of light-reactive thermoset materials called “resin.” The technology uses a light source (a laser or projector) to cure and harden the photosensitive liquid resin into the desired 3D shape.
Patented in the 1980s, the technology is the first 3D printing technology ever developed. Until today, the veteran 3D printing technique remains to be one of the three most common 3D printing technologies along with FDM and SLS.
SLA 3D prints each layer from top to bottom, and the build platform lifts the model upwards, out of the resin bath.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powder-based 3D printing technology. It makes use of a high powered laser that selectively scans a thin layer of powder and sinters the small powdered plastic particles together to form 3D object, layer by layer.
To find out more about Additive3D Asia’s SLS offering, visit: https://additive3dasia.com/3d-printing/sls/
Multi Jet Fusion is a relatively new 3D printing technique unveiled by HP in 2016.
Similar to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology, MJF is a powder-based 3D printing technique. The main difference between the two techniques lies in the heat source, as the latter requires less heat in the process. While SLS utilises a laser to scan and sinter the material, MJF, on the other hand, does so through a new and innovative process that accelerates build time. This enables a finer feature resolution and a more consistent isotropic mechanical property.

High Speed Sintering (HSS) is a transformational inkjet-based 3D printing technology which is being further developed at Xaar by the original inventor, Prof. Neil Hopkinson. This 3D printing (also called Additive Manufacturing) technology involves depositing a fine layer of polymeric powder, after which inkjet printheads deposit a single IR (infrared) absorbing fluid directly onto the powder surface in the required cross-sectional pattern where sintering is desired. The entire build area is then irradiated with an infrared lamp, causing the printed f luid to absorb this energy and then melt and sinter (consolidate) the underlying powder. This process is then repeated layer by layer until the build is complete.
SAF Selective Absorption Fusion is the 3D printing technology behind the H Series production platform by Stratasys. SAF is one category of powder bed fusion 3D printing processes as defined by the ASTM. SAF technology uses an infrared-absorbing fluid to help fuse the polymer powder.
This fluid is selectively placed where it’s needed to create the shape of the part in any given layer. When the infrared-sensitive fluid is exposed to the printer’s fusing lamps, it heats up to a higher temperature than the surrounding material.
This “selectively” fuses the powdered particles together but leaves the adjacent material unfused. Using highly reliable print heads, tight thermal control and an innovative powder management system, SAF technology offers a new alternative to other forms of PBF printing.
Powder bed fusion (PBF) is a 3D printing method that joins powdered material point by point using an energy source, typically a laser beam or an electron beam. It is one of the most common 3D printing techniques used for industrial additive manufacturing (AM). PBF is possible with both metals and polymers, although not all materials are compatible.
The types of PBF are:

DLP stands for digital light processing, and is a type of vat polymerization. Vat polymerization 3D printing technologies make use of a (liquid) photopolymer resin which is able to cure (solidify) under a light source.
PolyJet is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces smooth, accurate parts, prototypes and tooling. With microscopic layer resolution and accuracy down to 0.014 mm, it can produce thin walls and complex geometries using the widest range of multi-materials available with any technology.
Metal 3D Printing holds a unique position in modern-day product development. It allows for the direct manufacturing of complex end-use parts and facilitates tooling for conventional manufacturing technologies, reducing costs and lead times. This technology is also known as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM).

There are 3 main form of materials in 3D Printing such as:
Find our more about the popular 3D printing materials from this blog.
3D printing filament is the thermoplastic feedstock for fused deposition modeling (FDM/FFF) 3D printers.
There are many types of filament available with different properties, requiring different temperatures to print.
Binder jet 3D printing, known variously as “Powder bed and inkjet” and “drop-on-powder” printing, is a rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing technology for making objects described by digital data such as a CAD file.
Resin is a photopolymer fluid material engineered to cure under a light source via vat polymerization technology (resin 3D printers).
3D Printer resins are available for SLA Laser 3D printing, LCD/MSLA 3D printing, Polyjet and DLP 3D printing.
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS): Known for its strong heat and wear resistance, ABS is an extremely popular thermoplastic in 3D printing. Due to its popularity, material manufacturers have released different variations of ABS materials which has capability to be heat- and chemical-resistant – catering to both the desktop and industrial type 3D printers. For example, ABS-ESD7 material prevents a build-up of static electricity for end-use components, electronic products, industrial equipment, and jigs and fixtures for assembly of electronic components.
ABS is commonly used by product designers, engineers and researchers when making their prototypes and Lego, the world largest toy manufacturer uses ABS.
Polylactic acid (PLA): Another popular thermoplastic material, PLA is affordable and environmentally-friendly, making it biodegradable. PLA is stronger and stiffer than ABS, but poor heat-resistance properties mean PLA is mostly a hobbyist material. It is safe and easy to use at homes and schools as it does not release any harmful toxic fumes when heated and during the 3D printing process.
However, PLA is not an engineering grade material like ABS and will not be able to withstand high heat. Additionally, it may not be suitable for outdoor use. Due to its low melting point, PLA is commonly used as decorative parts, simple prototypes as well as for cosplay props or in school projects.
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) is a polyester-based material that combines excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties with strong chemical resistance and dimensional stability. PET also has low moisture absorption features and good flow properties, making it a great material to use for waterproof containers such as food and beverage food safe storage. It is usually adopted to create lightweight products such as potted planters, insulated bottles, or tupperware.
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PETG): An upgraded version of PET, PETG is a synthetic thermoplastic polyester that provides significant chemical resistance, durability, and excellent formability for manufacturing. PETG is an all-around filament with good light diffusion and layer adhesion that makes it suitable for lamp shades, car cup holders or more functional product design prototypes. It is an affordable filament that has balanced mechanical properties, ease of printing, and can also be recycled.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU): TPU is known for its durability, strength, flexibility, as well as its resistance to water, abrasions and chemicals. 3D printed parts with TPU can withstand ambient temperatures of up to 80 degrees Celsius. Due to these properties, it’s popularly used by the footwear and sporting goods industry as well as aerospace and automotive industry for a variety of custom-made parts.
Carbon Fibre (CF): Carbon fibre use tiny fibres that are infused into a base material to improve the properties of that material. Boasting a high strength-to-weight ratio, this material can be split into two methods. Chopped Fibres are printed via FDM, while Continuous Fibres are via a process called Continuous Fibre Fabrication (CFF). These fibres are extremely strong and cause the filament to increase in strength and stiffness. This also means that the 3D printed parts will be much lighter and more dimensionally stable, as the fibres will help prevent shrinking of the part as it cools.
Carbon Fibre applications include jigs and fixtures, tooling, metal part replacement and is used across different industries from manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, robotics and etc.
Nylon: An extremely dependable material, nylon is commonly used in 3D printing – notably glass-filled (GF) nylon, polyamide nylon from PA-12 and PA2200. It’s strong, flexible, durable, and is usually made via Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) or MultiJet Fusion (MJF) 3D printing technology. Take a look at how you can stand to benefit from utilising nylon in your 3D printing process. Parts or products made from Nylon can be used as a high-quality prototype or for end-use application.
ABS like Resin: As the name suggests, this material acts similarly to ABS and is made using Stereolithography (SLA) technology, with properties such as good strength, fluidity and a very smooth finish. The ABS resin produces parts that are extremely accurate, have excellent humidity resistance, and commendable durability. Application can include high detailed models, prototypes and even end-use parts for products requiring an injection-like surface finishing. Take a look at our data sheet for the full breakdown.
Stainless Steel 316L: This type of material boasts many positive traits such as high durability, heat resistance and efficient production time. As such, metal 3D printing is used in many industries ranging from dental, aerospace, automotive, marine, oil & gas and even to high-end jewellery via Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) and other metal 3D printing technology.
Titanium (Ti6Al4V): Titanium is known for being both the lightest 3D-printed metal and also the strongest. Due to this (and its non-corrosive properties), its usage is common amongst heavy duty industries such as aerospace for airframe and wing structures. Titanium can also be used to create smaller parts like compressor blades, rotors and other turbine engine components and medicine for orthopaedic devices like spine, hip and knee implants.
