Comprehensive Analysis of 3D Printing Technology Categories

3D printing is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by layering materials. 3D printing technologies can be classified based on forming methods, application fields, and material types.

I. Classification by Forming Method

  1. Stereolithography (SLA)
  2. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
  3. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
  4. Three-Dimensional Powder Bonding (3DP)
  5. Electron Beam Melting (EBM)



II. Classification by Application Field

  1. Prototyping
  2. Tool and Mold Manufacturing
  3. Customized Production
  4. Architecture and Construction
  5. Biomedical Applications



III. Classification by Material Type

  1. Plastic Materials
  2. Metal Materials
  3. Ceramic Materials
  4. Biomaterials
  5. Composite Materials


ISO Classification of Additive Manufacturing Types

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) categorizes additive manufacturing into seven general types: material extrusion, vat photopolymerization, powder bed fusion, material jetting, binder jetting, directed energy deposition, and sheet lamination.
