3D printing: different methods for different needs
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of metal/ceramics mixed with theromplastics. Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer extruder head, and is deposited on the growing work. The print head is moved under computer control to define the printed shape.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography (SLA) is technique that uses light-reactive thermoset materials called “resin.” When SLA resins are exposed to certain wavelengths of light, short molecular chains join together, polymerizing monomers and oligomers into solidified rigid or flexible geometries.

Selective laser sintering (SLS)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturingtechnique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter powdered material, aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure

Why we choose FFF method at TIWARI Scientific Instruments?
Thanks to the high material flexibility – both high performance metals and ceramics – the FFF technology enables us to cater to a large number of industrial applications and fulfil the ever-evolving needs of our customers through our manufacturing services. In addition to this, the portfolio of materials compatible with FFF is constantly expanding – make any major hardware modifications to the printing hardware unnecessary. And, not to forget the high performance to cost ratio that FFF offers – potentially higher than any other AM tech that is currently on the market.
