Additive manufacturing

A group of manufacturing methods that produces objects by gradually building them layer by layer based on a digital 3D-model.

3D Sand printning, 3DSP

Process Additive manufacturing where sand is bonded together using a binding agent, layer by layer to build a 3D-bject.

Binder jetting

Process Additive manufacturing where a powder is bound together layer by layer using a binder agent to create a 3D-object.

Color Jet Printing, CJP

Process Additive manufacturing method where a powder is bonded together using a binding agent. Like a color printer it can create millions of colors.

Digital Light Processing, DLP

Process Additive manufacturing method in which a digital projector is used to solidify a liquid polymer layer by layer to create a 3D-object

Electron Beam Melting, EBM

Process Additive manufacturing method that melts powdered metal in a vacuum chamber using an electron beam.

Fused Deposition Modeling, FDM

Process Additive manufacturing method in which a detail is created layer by layer by melting a plastic wire and applying it through a heated nozzle.

Fused Granular Fabrication, FGF

Process Additive manufacturing method in which melted plastic granules are deposited on a bed layer by layer to form the 3D-object.
