Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an additive manufacturing process in which a machine precisely extrudes melted plastic filament to create a part. FDM 3D Printing can produce prototypes and functional parts fast and at a low cost from a wide range of materials, typical build size can be as large as 500 x 500 x 500 mm.
SLA is most suitable for visual applications where an injection mold-like, smooth surface finish, and a high level of feature detail are required.
3D scanning is widely used for a large variety of industrial design and manufacturing applications by experts worldwide. Having 3D files of your objects saves you time, optimizes multiple workflows, and lets you do more with your data than you ever thought possible, perfect for reverse engineering, quality control, rapid prototyping, analysis, and more.
3D modelling is highly valuable as a pre-production prototyping technique, since it provides boundless opportunities for seamless experimentation with form, texture, colorway, materials, and other characteristics of the product before launching the actual production. Thus, with 3D modelling, you can try numerous designs and come up with the optimal design with minimal cost compare to traditional prototyping process.
