Stereolithography is a layered process using UV Laser.
How it works:
Once the model has been created with the help of computer-aided design software (CAM / CAD), it is loaded into software that will check for orientation and decoding in layers. This data is then sent to the printer where an ultraviolet (UV) laser is projected onto the platform that is emerged in a resin tank. The UV laser is used to draw the pre-programmed shape which corresponds to a slice of the template to be printed which will thus solidify and form a layer with the thickness required to obtain the desired quality and resolution in the print.
This process is repeated for each layer of the project until the 3D model is complete.
Printing where the model is generated by deposition of layers through a process of fusion.
How it works:
Initially a software process a 3D file, previously modeled with computer assisted design software (CAM / CAD), checking and slicing the model for the construction process.
The model is produced by extruding small strings flattened from molten material (plastic or metal that is unwound from a coil and supplies material to the extrusion nozzle) so as to form layers that one after another consolidate to form the surface of the physical model.
