“Why Choose SLS 3D Printing Over FDM 3D Printing? Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology offers an accessible entry point into the world of 3D printing, particularly advantageous for individuals with limited budgets. Its affordability stems from the straightforward principle it operates on: melting a plastic filament and precisely positioning it to layer by layer to form objects. This simplicity has made FDM the most popular printing technology, flooding the market with cost-effective desktop printers capable of producing objects quickly. In contrast, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology enables 3D printing by selectively sintering sections of successive layers of powder using a powerful laser beam, without fully liquefying the material. Notably, this process eliminates the need for support materials, as unsintered powder surrounds the printed object, facilitating the creation of intricate and interconnected forms.” — Locanam 3D Printing
