Filament: Plastic filament (e.g. PLA, ABS, PETG) that is heated, melted, and deposited layer by layer to create objects in FDM 3D printers. Affordable, easy to use, wide variety of materials.
Resin: Material that hardens when exposed to UV light, used in resin 3D printers for high-detail prints. High detail, smooth surface, ideal for small objects.
For Home / Hobby: An ideal choice for entry-level users and makers, featuring reliable printers (Single Extruder) with user-friendly speeds, focusing on the perfect balance of price and performance for personal projects.
For Schools / Education: Priority on safety and ease of use in educational environments with fully enclosed models for protection from moving parts, containment of fumes, and the ability for remote control via Wi-Fi.
Professional / High-End: Top high-end solutions for demanding applications, including resin printers, Dual Extruder systems, and industrial speeds, fully meeting the needs of engineers and professionals for uncompromising performance.
Fully Enclosed: Printers with a fully enclosed chamber that traps heat and prevents drafts. This is essential for avoiding warping with challenging materials like ABS and ASA, while also reducing noise and odors.
Auto-Leveling: It is a system that automatically measures the surface of the print bed and adjusts the nozzle height, so that the first layer is laid correctly without manual calibration.
Camera: The camera in 3D printers allows remote real-time monitoring of the printing process and checking for potential issues without physical presence.
DLP: Uses a digital projector to solidify entire layers of resin at once. Very fast technology with a long lifespan for the light source. Ensures high detail and consistent quality in every print.
FDM: It is based on heating plastic filament, which is extruded through a nozzle and deposited layer by layer to form the object. It is the most widespread method for everyday use and basic prototypes.
FFF: It works exactly like FDM, melting spools of plastic filament. It is the term used by all home 3D printers. Ideal for hobbyists due to low cost and ease of use.
MSLA: It uses an LCD screen as a "mask" over an LED light source to cure the resin. It combines high speed with high resolution at a very affordable purchase cost.
SLA: Hardens liquid resin using a laser beam for ultimate precision. Offers the best surface quality for jewelry and prototypes. A slow method that requires careful cleaning of the finished object.
