Plastic Printing

Plastic printing is the creation of three-dimensional objects through an additive process that deposits plastic in successive layers, based on a digital model. This process uses technologies such as FDM (Fused Filament Die) or SLA (Stereolithography), which fuse or cure the plastic. This method, also called additive manufacturing, is used for rapid prototyping, custom part production, and in various industries such as medical, automotive, and consumer goods.

How it works

3D Model: A three-dimensional design is created in graphic design software.

Slicing: The model is “sliced” into hundreds or thousands of thin layers by the software, generating instructions for the 3D printer.

Layering: The 3D printer deposits the plastic material in small increments, layer by layer, following the model’s pattern.

Plastic Technologies:

FDM (Fused Filament): A plastic filament is heated and extruded through a nozzle to build the object layer by layer.

SLA (Stereolithography) and DLP (Digital Light Processing): A light source, such as a laser or projector, solidifies photosensitive liquid resin, forming each layer.
