Questions
FDM 3D printing: frequently asked questions
What is the difference between FDM and SLS?
FDM lays plastic down in layers from a nozzle, costs less and shows visible layers. SLS sinters nylon powder with a laser: parts are stronger and need no supports.
Can I choose the colour?
Yes, write the colour in the notes. The partner confirms availability in the offer.
