But speaking of molding utility, DLP technology is more complex and more adaptable for the dental or Jewelry mold.

Resin 3d printing is known for its great ability to achieve very nice, highly detailed parts, all thanks to a technology called vat polymerization.

Of course, both of them are used resin and light source to make parts, the comparative difference mainly is the light source type which use to cure the resin.

The process  An SLA 3D printer consists of a vat (a resin tank), a build platform, and an elevator— used for moving the build platform upwards or downwards— a light source and a pair of galvanometers.

When starting a 3D print on a “top-down” SLA 3D printer, there’s a single layer of resin on the build platform.

A DMD contains hundreds of thousands or even millions of small micro mirrors that direct the light and create the pattern of a layer.

One of the most important ways 3D printing achieves this, is by making the process of manufacturing ‘rockets’, faster, cheaper & efficient. Modern era requirements of space travel, scientific research, military reconnaissance & broad coverage offerings by mobile & broadband networks to name a few, require space launches of humans &/or satellites into space. Launching any payload into space with a rocket, however, is an expensive & risky affair. On average a rocket used to put payloads into space has more than 100,000 parts, drastically raising the probability of errors & mistakes, which may lead to a mishap. To add to this risk, rockets require huge amounts of fuel a comparatively low payload carrying capacity in terms of weight. Traditional rockets designs like the Titan rockets, which powered the Apollo missions to the Moon, have more than a 100,000 parts.

3D printing has made inroads into various industries as an efficient & trusted alternative to traditional methods of design & fabrication.

Aviation & Aerospace industries are amongst the ones that stand to gain most from advantages 3D printing brings to New Product Development & Advanced Manufacturing.

An area ripe for revolution & currently witnessing a metamorphosis, due to 3D printing technologies, is the design of the jet engine itself.

When the first jet engine for civilian use was designed for mass production, humans had yet to land on the moon.

However, since 2016, steady progress has been made towards a redesign & re-imagining of the traditional jet engine design.

One way 3D printing helps, is by providing the ability to have lighter & fewer components.

From printing thermoplastics to metals, 3D printers can now print your favourite food.

It is important for the food item being printed, that the build material should emerge smoothly from the nozzle & it must maintain its shape upon deposition.

This method of direct deposition allows creation of intricate & detailed designs of food, as opposed to traditional tools like moulds, which are cost effective for quantity production, but offer little to no design intricacy.

Due to the amazing detail SLA brings to 3D printing, it is possible to add detail & customization to foods that was once only possible for skilled artisans.

A 3D printer can help determine the exact quantity of vitamins, carbohydrates, fats as per the user’s age & health requirement.

It also helps people with no cooking skills to cook highly accurate recipes while saving time & energy, often demanded by traditional cooking methods.

The origins of 3D printing can however be traced back to over 30 years ago during the 1980s.

One of the first patents filed for rapid prototyping was by Dr. Kodama in Japan.

Dr. Kodama however was unable to obtain a patent due to some delays.

On the other hand, Charles Hull, who co-founded the company 3D Systems, successfully filed a patent for a technology known as Stereolithography Apparatus or Stereolithography as it is known today, in 1986.

However, the research only yielded processes that were good for prototyping purposes and hence the technology was limited when it came to printing original 3D models.Early 2000s saw the rise of industrial 3D printers, which were suited to building complex parts, with high value and complex geometry.

Around the same time, low cost 3D printers useful for concept modelling and functional prototyping arrived on the scene.

3D Printing is one of the fastest growing industries of this era.

As people are becoming aware of carbon and plastic waste there is need to find out ways to make 3D Printing more “Eco-Friendly”.

There are different ways to make 3D Printing Eco-FriendlyIn spite of the fact that ABS plastic isn't biodegradable, it is conceivable to reuse it.

Fiber recyclers can pound up family squander made of plastic and failed prints and turn them into fiber.

The Filamaker is one fiber processor which can break down your utilized prints and the Filabot, and Recyclebot are two fiber extruders that will repurpose your utilized fiber and make unused fiber.

One company ReDeTec propelled a campaign where they made the ProtoCycler which both grinds your ancient prints and extrudes fiber with one machine.

A few examples of 3D printed houses & offices do exist, but 3D Construction is a long way from being the default technique of constructing houses or structures. 3D printers may also print or pre-fabricate parts of a building in a factory which can then be put together later at the construction site. 3D printing can help the Construction embrace the ‘lean’ concept of manufacturing. 3D printers on the other hand only use materials required to print the structure, drastically reducing cost & generating zero waste. The same applies to construction where buildings with unique architecture can be 3D printed, something traditional methods may find challenging. Although the idea of 3D printing houses or buildings sounds appealing, the technology is still at a nascent stage in the industry & wide-scale adoption remains mired with several hurdles.
