Decide on Technology

When you have an idea of what you want to make, the first thing you should think of is what kind of process is most suited for your task. Although our group focuses mainly on 3D printing using FDM and Polyjet technology, there are many other processes that may result in different types of physical models. Each process has its own benefits and downsides. Here follows a list of a few types of processing:

Additive processes

  • 3D Printing
    • Fused Deposition Modeling
    • Polyjet printing
    • Sintering
    • StereoLithography
  • Casting/Molding
    • Injection Molding
    • Silicone Molding

Subtractive Processes

  • CNC Milling
  • Woodworking

3D Design

Once you have decided on technology, you should know which parts you need to complete your design, whether it can be done in one piece or you need an assembly of many parts.
