FDM and SLA printing
FDM and SLA 3D printing: choosing the right process
FDM is strong and cost-effective for functional parts and larger components. SLA is best for small, accurate models with smooth surfaces.
FDM or SLA?
FDM uses filaments and works well for prototypes, brackets, enclosures, and working parts. SLA offers high accuracy and excellent surface quality.
We review each request technically before quoting so we can choose the right process, material, and file format.
Before production starts, we clarify operating conditions, choose a realistic manufacturing path, and align expected results for lead time, accuracy, and budget. This reduces unnecessary iterations and helps deliver a part that is ready for practical use right after delivery.
Scope of work
- FDM: lower cost and larger parts
- SLA: high accuracy and detail
- material selection for heat and loads
- economical or technical variant
