How does 3D printing compare with other rapid prototyping technologies?

3D printing technology is cheaper, faster and more accurate than SLA and SLS machines, and with the added bonus of no nasty chemicals, powders or resins to handle it is better for the environment as well. A typical SLS machine uses a layer size of 0.15mm whereas the Objet technology uses a 0.028mm layer size (that’s about half the thickness of a human hair!) so the resulting surface finish is superior to SLA & SLS technologies. FDM on the other hand uses a 0.25mm layer size but uses an ABS plastic material which is ideal for living hinges and click fittings.

Also SLA & SLS machines can only produce parts in one colour, whereas the Z Corp machine is unique in that it can print in multiple colours on the same component. Each 3D printing technology has its advantages and disadvantages so have a look at our materials page to determine which technology will be best for your project. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
