FDM/FFF PRINTING
DLP/SLA PRINTING
SLS PRINTING
POLYJET (OBJET/STRATASIS)
PRINTING MATERIALS• FDM/FFF• ABS• PLA• HDPE• Nylon• LayWOOD• LayBRICK
• DLP/SLA• Curable polymer resin
• SLS• Pretty much anything?
• PolyJet• Plastic-like resins• High-Temperature resistant• Lots of different materials for different applications
USES ON FRC ROBOTS - DEPENDS ON MATERIAL• Hobby FDM/FFF• Electronics mounts• Light load-bearing supports• Molds for injection mold parts
• Industrial FDM (Reinforced) / PolyJet• Medium load bearing parts (Wheel wells, support structures, side
rails, etc)• DLP/SLA• Molds for injection mold parts
• SLS• Entire robot chassis (sub 60 pounds)
…OR WHOLE ROBOT CAN BE 3D PRINTED?
