:'''FDM vs SLA 3D Printing — according to the "new Bing"'''
:{{Template:Classes}}


::''"FDM and SLA are two different types of 3D printing technologies that use different materials and methods to create parts. FDM stands for fused deposition modeling, and SLA stands for stereolithography. Here are some of the main differences between them:''
:[https://www.pikespeakmakerspace.org/Contact/ '''Contact Us'''] if you are a Non-PPM Member but would like to RSVP for our SLA Printing Class.


::''FDM uses a heated nozzle to extrude melted plastic filament one layer at a time on a build platform. SLA uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin one layer at a time in a resin tank.''
:To help out in the 3D Printing Area at PPM, use our #3d-printing channel on Slack.


::''FDM can print with a variety of thermoplastic materials, such as ABS, PLA, PETG, and nylon. SLA can print with different types of resin materials, such as standard, engineering, and dental resins.''
==Training==
::''FDM has more color options and similar strength in the X and Y directions than SLA. SLA has better surface finish, detail, and speed than FDM.''
:'''Intro to SLA 3D Printing'''
::''FDM is cheaper, more user-friendly, and more reliable than SLA. SLA is more expensive, requires more post-processing, and is more sensitive to environmental factors than FDM.'' 
::'''[https://wiki.pikespeakmakerspace.org/images/d/da/Anycubic_resin_settings.pdf Anycubic resin settings]'''
::''FDM is suitable for basic proof-of-concept models, quick and low-cost prototyping, and simple parts that might be machined. SLA is ideal for high-detail parts, molds, patterns, and functional parts that require tight tolerances and smooth surfaces."''
::Be sure to log your job on the "SLA Printer USAGE FORM".
