How to choose the most appropriate technology: FDM, SLA and SLS

Although the best known 3D printing technology is FDM, in recent years SLA and SLS technologies have also become popular. The appearance of affordable desktop format equipment, such as those produced by Sinterit or Formlabs, has made the criteria for choosing one technology or the other to be mainly technical and not so much economic.

Accuracy, precision and tolerance in 3D printing

The fact that a 3D printer has "high resolution" among its specifications does not mean that all 3D printed parts will be accurate and precise. Understanding the meaning of accuracy, precision and tolerance is essential to achieve a good result in any 3D printing. Below we detail what each of these terms means in the context of 3D printing.
