How are FDM and SLA 3D printing technologies different?

3D printing isn't a recent technology as it seems, if not existing for many years, since 1986 when Chuck Hull, founder of 3D Systems, records the first 3D printer. This was a 3D SLA printer (StereoLithoGraphy), which uses a resin that solidifies by photopolymerization when a laser beam hits it.

Risks when printing in 3D

Every user must take into account certain risks that may occur during 3D printing. The two main sources of risk and more common are on the one hand the gases released during the fusion of the material, and on the other the possible sources of fire by misuse of the 3D printer or the poor condition of the electronics of the same.
