What is the main difference between Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and StereoLithoGraphy (SLA) 3D printing processes?
What is the main difference between Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and StereoLithoGraphy (SLA) 3D printing processes?
- FDM builds up layers of melted plastic materials while SLA does not involve layering plastic materials. (correct)
- FDM printers require slicing the 3D model into layers using a Slicer Software while SLA printers do not.
- SLA printers use resin while FDM printers use filament.
- SLA printers cool the model down to one solid piece, while FDM printers do not.
