Capabilities

	Your choices are...
	Electron Beam Melting (EBM)		Type of 3D printing for metal parts. The process involves melting metal powder layer by layer with an electron beam in a high vacuum.
	Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)		Type of 3D printing for metal parts accomplished by using a laser as the power source to sinter powdered material together.
	Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)		FDM uses a thermoplastic filament that is melted and extruded from the machine print head. The machine head repeats the extruding and melting, layer by layer, until the part is complete.
	Polyjet		The PolyJet process uses a carriage to lay photopolymers onto a work space; the photopolymers are then cured by a UV light. After each thin layer is created, the process repeats itself by jetting additional layers until the part is fully formed.
	Stereolithography (SLA)		Stereolithgraphy is a type of additive 3D printing for creating plastic parts. The process involves placing plastic photo-reactive resin in a vat and concentrating an ultraviolet laser on the surface. A platform within the vat lowers as each layer of resin is cured.
	Selective Laser Melting (SLM)		Type of 3D printing for metal parts by melting metal powder layer by layer with a high power laser beam.
	Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)		Type of 3D printing for metal parts by sintering metal powder layer by layer with a high power laser beam.
	Other		Other unlisted or specialized process.
