#3D modeling with DLP

[idea-explorer]

[practicalsolutions]

I was tagged by @sleightlyoffhand to list 5 topics I can talk on for an hour without preparing any material. You asked for it.

3D printing. This one was too easy. I could talk specifics of FDM machines and materials, or vaguely about other types. These range from SLS to DLP, to more niche high price models I'll never see irl except once. Like anything from Stratasys. Who I used to hecking idolize for having one of the first patents for 3D printing, other than the guy who came up with SLA.

CNC machines. This is probably an extension of 3D printing, as most FDM machines work pretty similar to most CNC mills, engravers etc. The code is the same (gcode). It can be easily written for simple processes like cutting, facing, and drilling. But, just as a slicer program converts 3D models to gcode, there are programs out there for turning 3D information into CNC gcode. It's just a subtractive process instead of an additive one.

The consequences of technology. Especially AI. It may be the best and worst thing to happen to humanity. I could rant about all the wonderful and horrible things that could arise, but it is probably better for both of us if I don't.

Minecraft. Maybe I quit lately, but I could still talk about the history from beta onwards. At least up until whatever update added the chat moderation. I really like pistons (old update) and I really like the bees (is that still considered new?). I love automatic farms, but they are more fun when you have a team that can use them. Don't get me started on redstone, or it will turn into a ramble about electronics and logic gates.

Crash Bandicoot. This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing of value is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.

What on earth is 3D printing?

That's... a big one. Sorry in advance. It also gets a little technical. Folx, if you want to chime in in the notes what we forgot or missed, have at it, just be polite. Discussion is great. Being a jerk is not.

So you know that we sell 3D print planters (and some other stuff coming out soon), but we saw a lot of comments in our first post introducing ourselves that were curious about what 3D printing was, if it was resin printing, and how it worked.

We also didn't realize our ask box wasn't turned on until we saw a note after the post was up for several hours. Sorry! It's open now if you have questions or comments or whatever. Just be polite.

Well. We are not experts. We're going to share our own experience and understanding of what 3D printing is, most common methods, and why we do the kind of 3D printing we do.

So.

What is 3D printing?

In its all-encompassing definition, 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing if you want to get STEM-y about it) is basically creating a 3D object using a digital 3D model. The programs engineers use, like Fusion360, AutoCAD, FreeCAD, and others? Yeah. Those. Exactly.

If you're an artist, don't despair, you can create models in Blender (or whatever 3D modeler you use) and work with those for 3D printing.

If you're us, who only started modeling a few months ago, you use the program geared for children and young adults, and that's TinkerCAD. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just limited in what it can do compared to other programs. The massive benefit is it's free and the learning curve is also much more gentle than the sheer cliff we ran face-first into trying to learn the CAD programs or Blender.

If anyone has good sources to learn them (esp with Blender's new updates) we would be happy to try them. Because as much as we love 3D printing, modeling still gives us a headache.

So that's the most basic definition of 3D printing.

So, what's the most COMMON form of 3D printing?

Well, we'd say there are two:

Resin printing. There's several different methods, but the most common today still is SLA, or stereolithography. Basically, a UV laser marks a cross-section of part of an object on a layer of liquid resin. When it's exposed to the UV light it's cured and solidifies. Another layer of resin is put down, the laser process is repeated, and it continues until an object is made. What's nice about it is it lets you get high detail in very small objects, like minis for Warhammer or other games. There's also Digital Light Processing (DLP), which is like SLA but uses digital projection to expose more parts of resin to light. It can cure an entire layer at once, instead of only part. If you see a Warhammer figurine being sold, or any miniature, especially stuff for DnD or other tabletop games, it's probably resin printed.

FDM (fused deposition modeling). It's also known as FFF, or fused filament fabrication). This is what you probably think of for 3D printers if you ever saw one, where things are printed in one tiny layer at a time where a heated print head is pushing out filament in layers on a build plate. FDM is more common for practical prints, like car parts or manufacturing pieces. To us it reminds us of icing a cake. You can print with stuff like carbon fiber and nylons or flexible material like TPU. FDM is good for prototyping and larger objects, like our planters (last product plug, we swear) to. You know.

Houses.

We use FDM printing.

Why?

Most everything we're going to make doesn't need the detail that a resin printer provides. The smallest, jewelry, still isn't to the level where we'd need a resin printer -- FDM printers work in fractions of milimeters, and resin printers can go even smaller. That's not necessary for us.

Everything we make is going to be larger prints, which means more material. Filament (which we'll explain in another post) costs less than resin.

Resin is more toxic than PLA filament, which is what we use. We can handle PLA filament spools without gloves or protective goggles. Resin? Absolutely not. They ARE making plant-based resin which is less irritating, but we have no experience with it. If you do, chime in in the comments.

Resin involves cure time. You also have to wash your print after. That can add to the process time too.

So that's the extreme basics of what 3D printing is, the two most common types, and why we do FDM printing. We hope you found it helpful! We're going to try to make this a series to explain more about 3D printing in general so it's less mysterious for non-printers. What do you want us to talk about next? Let us know! Like...what different materials you can print with? What are they made of? Maybe some example pictures with different finishes? Would that be interesting? We'd love to hear from you. And we look forward to seeing the comments in the notes/tags! We couldn't go as in-depth as we wanted without turning it into a novel, so have at it in the notes. We can't wait to follow the discussion!

We're Planterful Pieces, a small business focused on offering made-to-print products that cater to the planty people of the world, whether that means you OWN plants or simply just LOVE nature. We also want to share with you all cool designs that aren't easily accessible to people who DON'T 3D print, and there's a LOT!

If you're not interested in our planters but ARE interested in future products, like our upcoming art collection, jewelry, and more, subscribe to our email newsletter on our website here (you'll have to scroll down a little). We promise we'll only email you once a month with sneak peeks, product updates, deals, or if there's an upcoming launch.

4. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)

TPU is a flexible filament that’s great for applications requiring elasticity, such as phone cases, gaskets, and wearable items. While it can be tricky to print, especially for beginners, the results are rewarding for functional prototypes and end-use parts.

Pros:

Flexible and elastic

Durable under stress

Resistant to abrasion

Cons:

Requires slow printing speeds

Not compatible with all extruders

5. Nylon

Nylon is a high-performance synthetic polymer known for its strength, flexibility, and abrasion resistance. It’s widely used in industrial-grade 3D printing for gears, hinges, and mechanical parts. Nylon is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air, which can affect print quality.

Pros:

Excellent mechanical properties

Good impact and chemical resistance

Cons:

Requires high printing temperatures

Must be stored in a dry environment

6. Resin (for SLA/DLP printers)

Unlike the filaments used in FDM printers, SLA and DLP 3D printers use liquid resin. There are different types of resins available, including standard, tough, flexible, and biocompatible. Resin printing offers unmatched detail and surface finish, making it popular for miniatures, dental models, and jewelry prototypes.

Pros:

Extremely high resolution

Smooth surface finish

Cons:

Requires post-processing (cleaning and curing)

Resin is toxic and needs careful handling

Choosing the Right 3D Printing Material

The ideal material depends on your specific needs—whether it’s strength, flexibility, aesthetic appeal, or environmental sustainability. Beginners may prefer starting with PLA due to its ease of use, while more advanced users might explore ABS, PETG, or Nylon for functional parts. For high-detail models, resin is the preferred choice.

Conclusion

The world of 3D printer printing materials is vast and continually evolving. Whether you’re printing prototypes, tools, or finished products, understanding the properties and applications of each material ensures better results.

Enhance Design Flexibility with 3D Print on Demand Services.

Understanding 3D Print on Demand

Defining 3D Print on Demand

3D Print on Demand  is a service where users can submit digital models and get them printed using 3D printers. This is a design tool that offers the flexibility to manufacture complex, bespoke products without the use of conventional tooling or molds. It begins with the creation of a digital model using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software. Then takes this model and slices it into layers that the 3D printer will use to print the object, layer by layer.

Evolution of 3D Print on Demand

3D Print on Demand Services is an evolution to new capabilities driven by developments in additively manufactured technologies. These were primarily utilitarian in prototyping but the domain has quickly extrapolated into many other applications in various industries. Now they are even more attractive with the adoption of AI to provide quotes on delivery and even the ability to get better quotes for procurement of the material. Today, hundreds of industrial-grade printers, SLA, SLS, MJF, SLM, DLP, and more help us to produce a wide range of prototypes, from single models to small batch productions quickly and accurately.

Applications of 3D Print on Demand

Industrial Applications

3D Print on Demand services are often machine shops that use 3D modeling and printing knowledge, based on data from October 2023 for most. In industrial settings, that means rapid prototyping and manufacturing of complex components. It enables lightweight, high-strength parts in industries like automotive and aerospace that just are not possible to make using traditional methods. For instance, components can be made with complex internal structures that minimize weight without sacrificing strength, such as in aerospace.

Consumer Product Applications

3D Print on Demand shines in terms of never-before-seen customization potential for consumer products. Consumers can create and custom-make uniquely shaped things based on their own specs without high pricing on classic manufacturing. This ability includes industries such as fashion, where customized jewelry or accessories can be printed to order. In electronics, these can be custom casings or even components that are produced with the help of this technology. In addition, educational institutions use these services for student projects and as teaching aids, enabling students to take digital designs into the real world.

Finally, 3D Print on Demand services improve design flexibility thanks to a huge variety of materials and processes that are adhered to needs.

From highly intricate industrial parts to bespoke consumer goods, this innovative technology goes beyond customization for an efficient and economical manufacturing change.

Impact of 3D Print on Demand on Manufacturing

Streamlining Production Processes

3D Print on Demand removes a lot of the bottlenecks of production since you don't even need tooling or molds. It also allows manufacturers to go from design to production in a matter of days, instead of months. This allows businesses to iterate designs much more quickly, so that the final product can be as close to your perfect spec as you can get without purchasing an (often expensive) mass production run. This ultimately increases efficiency and reduces waste because minor adjustments can be made without wasting large amounts of material.

Sustainability and Environmental Impact

3D Print on Demand is something that has been extremely impacted by modern manufacturing, and sustainability is based on that. And while traditional manufacturing is a subtractive process that creates a lot of waste, 3D printing is additive and uses exactly the right amount of material — no extra. By cutting down on waste material this leads to more sustainable practices. It also decreases transportation emissions and carbon footprints related to shipping final products out of centralized production facilities by enabling local production of goods on demand.

Influence of 3D Print on Demand on Design Flexibility

Enhancing Design Versatility

3D Print on Demand has recognized one of its most remarkable effects, which is the increasing potential for design flexibility. Geometries and details that were once impossible to produce or limited by cost can now be reached cost-effectively.

Such diversity allows designers to choose materials to meet performance: resistance to high temperatures, strength, or sustainable/durable characteristics they require, thus resulting in the right material for the right job.

Inventory Optimization

Being able to produce items on demand can provide companies with an efficient way to optimize their inventory management methods. Operating digital inventories and producing goods as needed does away with the need for carrying huge finished product inventory in different warehouse spaces. It lowers the costs for storage and it also minimizes the chances of overproduction or obsolescence which eventually results in an agile supply chain process.

Time Efficiency in Design Iterations

3Dプリンターとは3D CADデータを元に3次元の立体造形物を出力（プリント）する装置です。

3Dプリンターには様々な方式があります。

基本的にはどれも1層1層積んでいく仕組みですが、方式によって得意不得意があります。

方式によって、造形物の精度、扱える材料とその物性、造形可能なサイズ、スピード、メンテナンス性など、様々な特徴の差異があります。 また、メーカー各社の独自用語が存在するなど、同じ方式を指していてもそれを表す用語がいくつもあるケースがあり、全体像の把握には、それら表記ゆれに対するケアが必要です。

3Dプリンターの方式はISOで分類が規定されておりますので、その区分を参考にしながら、主要な方式を網羅的にまとめました。

海外では既に3Dプリンターを「実生産」で使うことが当たり前に。 そのノウハウが一足飛びに得られるとしたら？

1つの製品に、何個の部品が使われていますか？会社全体では、何種類の部品がありますか？ 多い企業では万単位の部品が存在すると思います。

それらの部品の中から3Dプリンターでの生産に向いている部品を自動で見つけ出し、 続々と生産を効率化していけるシステムがあるとしたら、御社の生産はど���変わるでしょう？

3Dプリンターでの部品実生産ノウハウを御社にインストールするシステム CASTOR 目次 現在主流 FDM方式 最も古い 光造形方式 高精細で表現力が最も高い インクジェット方式 結合剤を噴射する バインダージェット方式 金属3Dプリンターの世界を一変 BMD方式 従来型の金属3Dプリンター パウダーベッド方式 シート積層法 指向性エネルギー堆積法 CIM（Cast in motion）方式 3Dプリンターの仕組み 3Dプリンターは材料を1層1層積み上げていくことで、高さのある造形物を出力します。

様々な方式はありますが、基本的に層を重ねていくことで造形するという点に変わりはありません。 そのように、原理としては非常にシンプルです。

扱える材料も、プラスチック（樹脂）、金属、カーボン等、様々な材料を使って造形することができます。

3Dプリンターとは 3次元造形 現在主流 FDM方式 日本語表記：熱溶解積層方式（Fused Deposition Modeling） ISO分類：材料押出法（Material Extrusion） その他表記：FFF方式（Fused Filament Fabrication） FDM方式の概要 FDM方式とは、3Dプリンター世界シェアNo.1である米国Stratasys社が開発した方式です。 現在3Dプリンターにおいて主流の方式です。

FDM方式による造形 熱で溶かした樹脂をノズルから押し出し、ソフトクリーム製造機のようなイメージで、一筆書きで１層１層積み重ねて造形していきます。 この画期的な方式はストラタシス創設者のスコットクランプがグルーガンを見て想起したという逸話が残っています。

FDM方式 FDM方式の強み 本物の熱可塑性樹脂を使えること、だからこその強度・耐熱が強み 熱可塑性樹脂は射出成形で用いられており、量産する最終製品でよく使われるプラスチック材料です。代表的なものにABS樹脂等があります。

そのため、試作（プロトタイプ）であっても、最終製品に近い物性のリアルで機能的な試験も可能であり、製造業において重宝されています。

他の方式では紫外線硬化樹脂を用いるものが多いため、ABSそのものではなくABSに近い物性を持つ「ABSライク樹脂」が開発されています。

多様な物性の素材が使える FDM方式、特にハイエンド機種では産業界で求められる様々な物性の樹脂に広く対応しています。

エンジニアリングプラスチック、スーパーエンプラまで使えるなら、特殊用途の最終製品まで使えるイメージが沸くのではないでしょうか。

段差も目立ちにくいキメの細かな機種も 初期の頃は層を積み上げた際にできる段差が目立つ傾向がありました。

しかし近年では、材料も装置も進化していることから、��前より段差も目立ちにくくなりました。

FDM方式の弱点 FDM方式は比較的積層痕が目立ちやすいため、物性よりも外観のなめらかさ、プロダクトデザインにおける表現力を重視する用途では、FDM方式よりインクジェット方式の方が適していると言えるでしょう。

また、FDM方式だけでは金属の造形ができません。そのため、金属で造形したい場合は金属専用の3Dプリンターを導入する必要があります。（※FDM方式と組み合わせて金属造形するシステムは存在します。）

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 製造業における試作（ラピッドプロトタイピング）、治具・工具の製作、最終製品の造形をしたい場合で、強度が求められるものはFDM方式を選ぶと良いでしょう。

3Dプリンターで何をしたいですか？ 最も古い 光造形方式 ISO分類：液槽光重合法（Vat PhotoPolymerization） その他表記：SLA方式（Stereo Lithography Apparatus） 光造形方式はSLA方式とも呼ばれます。 さらにSLAの中には、レーザー光を用いるレーザー方式と、一括面露光をするDLP方式があります。

光造形方式の概要 光造形方式は、最も古い3Dプリンターの方式です。 液体状の光硬化樹脂のプールに光を照射し、１層１層重ねて造形します。

光造形 レーザー方式 レーザー光を照射し、光に触れた箇所が硬化される仕組みです。光造形方式の中でも古くからある方式です。

DLP方式 プロジェクターのように像を作り、一括面露光する仕組みです。

造形物の面積が広い場合はレーザー方式と比較して高速露光できることが強みですが、像を作る際、ピクセル単位で描画することから、照射する範囲を広げると解像度が落ち寸法精度が出にくく、また造形物の表面は水平・垂直の両方向に積層痕（段差）が出てしまいます。

光造形方式の強み きめの細かな造形物が作りやすいこと、個人向けでは安価なモデルが多数登場していることが挙げられます。 造形速度は比較的速い傾向があります。

光造形方式の一般的な弱点 産業用途の光造形機は高額なものが多く、コストが高くなりがちです。

紫外線硬化樹脂を用いるという性質から、太陽光など光による劣化が起こりやすくなる性質があります。 吊り下げ方式のため大型のモデルの造形に適していなかったり、変形が起こる可能性もあります。 そのため、耐久性を求める用途、最終製品として用いる用途ではベストとは言えません。

また、造形後のアルコールや溶剤での洗浄や二次加工、剥離によるサポート除去など後処理に手間が掛かるものが多いです。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 歴史的経緯として古くはラピッドプロトタイピングに多く使われてきましたが、3DプリンターのDDM（デジタル・ダイレクト・マニュファクチャリング：最終製品や治工具の製造に3Dプリンターを利用する）が浸透するにつれ、役割は変わりつつあると感じます。

個人向けの3Dプリンターでは良い機種が揃ってきていますので、強度・耐久性を必要としないシーンで小さなサイズのモデルを手軽に��形したい場合にお勧めです。

光造形方式の弱点を克服した機種がStratasysから登場 従来型の光造形方式の3Dプリンターの弱点であった耐久性の弱さや生産性の低さを克服した機種がOrigin Twoです。

Origin Twoは量産でも高精細であり、最終製品のパーツ生産に使用されることを想定しています。

高精細で表現力が最も高い インクジェット方式 ISO分類：材料噴射法（Material Jetting／マテリアルジェッティング） その他表記：PolyJet方式※Stratasys社 インクジェット方式の概要 インクジェット方式という通称もありますが、正式分類では材料噴射法と言います。

その名の通り、材料を噴射し、それに対し光を当てて１層１層積んでいきます。 構造が2Dプリンターでいうインクジェットプリンターに類似していることから、インクジェット方式と呼ばれています。

高精細でリアルな造形物を作ることができる方式です。

インクジェット方式 インクジェット方式の強み 高精細な造形物 第一に、高精細な造形物を作ることができるということが挙げられます。 積層痕の目立たないなめらかな造形物を作りたいなら、まず選択肢にあげると良いでしょう。

機種によってはカラー材料の使用や、フルカラー造形も 紙にカラー印刷できるように、3Dプリンターでもカラー印刷できる機種があります。 その原理は、2Dプリンターが複数カラーのインクを用いてカラー印刷を可能にしているのと同様で、複数のカラー材料を用いることで色を再現します。

後から塗装をする必要がなく、塗装時間の短縮や手間を省く事ができます。

上位機種ではPANTONE®カラー対応のフルカラー造形が可能な機種もあり、色にこだわるプロダクトデザインで、完成物とのイメージ乖離を防ぎます。

透明なクリア材料や、ゴムの質感の再現まで 複数の材料を同時に扱うことができる機種もあります。 アッセンブリ加工が必要なものが、ワンショットで造形できます。

デザイナーが思い浮かべたプロダクトのコンセプトを何もない所から具現化する強力なツールとなるでしょう。

3Dプリンターが描く未来の世界に最も近いものがこのインクジェット方式の3Dプリンターかもしれません。尚、この分野はストラタシス社がかなりリードしています。

布や皮革の生地に対して直接3Dプリントできる機種も 麻やフェルト、スウェードや皮革などの「生地」に3Dプリントする方式がハイブランドや大手メーカーにて採用されはじめています。

硬質素材だけではなく、ゴムのように柔軟性のある素材を含め、60万色フルカラーで3Dプリントできる機種があります（Stratasys J850 Prime FabriX）。

Stratasys J850 Prime FabriX インクジェット方式の弱み 強度・耐久性についてはFDM方式に劣ります。 噴射した材料に光を照射し硬化させるため、太陽光での劣化もあります。その面では光造形方式と同じです。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 試作におけるデザイン性・外観の再現での用途では群を抜きます。 デザインの価値が高まる中、メーカーにおけるデザイン部門・設計部署での導入に最適です。 構想設計から最終段階まで、リアリティを持った試作品を気軽に何度も出し直しして調整しながら創ることが可能です。

3Dプリンターで何をしたいですか？ 結合剤を噴射する バインダージェット方式 日本語表記：粉末接着方式 ISO分類：結合材噴射法（Binder jetting） その他表記：バインダージェッティング方式 バインダージェット方式の概要 インクジェット方式（��テリアルジェッティング）は材料自体を噴射する方式でした。 それに対して、バインダージェット方式は、バインダー（＝結合剤）の方を噴射することで造形物を固めます。 元々は石膏に結合剤を吹き付けて固める方式でした。 石膏という材質から後加工での着色がしやすく、フィギュアの造形や、簡易なデザインイメージの確認に用いられていました。

その後、金属、樹脂、セラミック等の材料でも造形できるようになり適用できる幅は広がりました。 尚、このバインダージェット方式の生みの親であるMITの研究者は、現在Desktop Metal社で金属3Dプリンターの開発に携わっています。

バインダージェット方式 バインダージェット方式の強み サポート材が不要であること、着色がしやすいこと、造形速度が速いことが挙げられます。

バインダージェット方式の弱点 表面精度が粗いこと、強度が弱いこと、粉末を取り扱い除去する必要���あり、粉末の飛散による危険性や粉じん対策が必要であること、造形後に後処理の手間が掛かることが挙げられます。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 強度は求めないデザイン確認の用途に適合すると思います。

金属3Dプリンターの世界を一変 BMD方式 英語表記：Bound Metal Deposition方式 ISO分類：－ その他表記：ADAM方式（Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing） BMD方式の概要 金属3Dプリンターは金属粉を取り扱うため、取り扱いが容易ではありませんでした。 それを劇的に改善したのがBMD方式です。

BMD方式は、３つの段階を経て金属の造形物を作ります。

BMD方式 １．3Dプリンターでの造形 まず3Dプリンターで造形します。金属とポリマーとワックスでできた素材を熱で溶解し、積層します。 しかしこれだけでは金属部品として求められる物性が得られません。 そこで、次の段階に進みます。

２．専用の脱脂装置でバインダーを除去する 金属とバインダーが混ざった状態から、ワックスを除去します。

溶剤を用いた工程が不要となる新しい方式の装置が登場しています。

３．専用の焼結装置で焼結する ピーク温度1400℃で焼結し、固めます。

これは製造業の世界では歴史があるMIM(Metal Injection Molding)の技術を応用したものです。

製品としてはこの金属3Dプリンターを含む3つの装置を1つのシステムとして提供する形式で販売されています。

BMD方式の強み 従来の金属3Dプリンターと異なり、専用の部屋を用意する必要がありません。

従来方式では、金属粉の粉塵対策、不活性化ガスを用いるための設備投資等、総合して投資規模・総保有コストが大きくなりがちでしたが、それを解決しています。

また、3Dプリンター本体はFDM方式で造形するため、従来工法では実現できなかった複雑な形状も精度高く造形可能です。

金属3Dプリンターの導入をためらっていた企業様にこそ検討いただきたい方式です。

BMD方式の弱点 焼結の際にガスを使います。このガスのランニングコストも導入判断の評価ポイントになるでしょう。 ただし、ガスの使用量は機種によって大きな差があります。

また、有機溶剤を扱うため、オフィスで使うには局所排気装置が必要になります。 （しかし、総保有コストを考えると圧倒的な���減ができると言って良いでしょう。）

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 金属素材で低コストに造形したい、金属の製品開発を高速化したい、金属パーツの多品種少量生産に使いたいといったシーンでは最適な方式です。

BMD方式の3Dプリンター Desktop Metal特設ページはこちら

3Dプリンターで何をしたいですか？ 従来型の金属3Dプリンター パウダーベッド方式 ISO分類：粉末床溶融結合法（Powder Bed Fusion） その他表記：PBF方式 パウダーベッド方式の中には、レーザー熱源方式と、電子ビーム熱源方式があります。

レーザビーム熱源方式（Selective Laser Melting／SLM） 電子ビーム熱源方式（Electron Beam melting／EBM） パウダーベッド方式の概要 パウダーベッド方式は、金属粉末を敷き詰めた床に光線を照射し、その熱で焼結させる方式です。 金属のほかにナイロンや樹脂も用いられるケースがあります。

従来は金属を3Dプリンターで造形する際の主要な方式でした。

パウダーベッド方式 方式１．レーザー熱源方式 ハイパワーなレーザー光を照射することで金属粉末を焼結させます。

方式２．電子ビーム熱源方式 レーザーではなく電子ビームを照射する方式です。 レーザー熱源方式では難しかった銅の造形も可能な方式です。

パウダーベッド方式の強み BMD方式の登場で情勢は変わっていますが、金属を造形できる3Dプリンターとして有力な方式であったと言えます。

パウダーベッド方式の弱点 機器本体が高額であるということに加え、工場において設置する部屋の確保、粉塵対策・不活性化ガスの排出対策の空調設備など、装置外の投資規模が大きくなること。 オペレーターが金属粉末を吸入するリスク、金属粉末が工場内に拡散するリスクがあること。

サポート材の除去に手間が掛かること、表面がざらついた造形物になること、などが挙げられます。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 現時点では、まずパウダーベッド方式の弱点を克服したBMD方式を検討いただき、BMD方式では適合しない場合にパウダーベッド方式をあわせて検討いただくというのが良いと思います。

シート積層法 ISO分類：シート積層法（Sheet Lamination） シート積層法の概要 シート積層法は、薄いシートを重ね合わせて、接着剤や超音波で結合させる方式です。 結合した素材をレーザーでカットし成形します。

シート積層法の強み PVC、金属、紙等、他の方式ではあまり見られない材料を用いて造形可能です。 また、複数の金属素材を合わせて使うことができること等が挙げられます。

シート積層法の弱点 廃棄材料が多く出る可能性があること、他の方式に比べ造形精度が低いこと、中空構造が作りにくいこと、等が挙げられます。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ 紙やPVCで造形したい場合、異なる金属素材を接合して用いたい場合などのシーンで有効になると思います。

3Dプリンターで何をしたいですか？ 指向性エネルギー堆積法 ISO分類：指向性エネルギー堆積法（Directed Energy Deposition） その他表記：レーザーデポジション、レーザーメタルデポジション（LMD） 指向性エネルギー堆積法の概要 指向性エネルギー堆積法は、金属粉末を吹き付けながらレーザー光を照射することで肉盛り溶接する方式です。

指向性エネルギー堆積法の強み 金属の造形物ができること、異種材料を組み合わせて母材とは異なる金属の造形ができること、高熱で溶融するため耐久性が高い造形物ができること。また、大型造形が得意で造形速度も速い。

指向性エネルギー堆積法の弱点 金属粉末を扱うため取り扱いに注意を要すること、表面は粗い仕上がりになること、造形できる形状に制約が大きいこと等が挙げられます。

どのようなシーンで選ぶべきか？ こちらも、まず従来型金属3Dプリンターの弱点を克服したBMD方式を検討いただき、BMD方式では適合しない場合に指向性エネルギー堆積法の機種を検討いただくというのが良いと思います。

CIM（Cast in motion）方式 CIMではまず「型を造るための枠」を3Dプリンターで高速造形します。その枠の中にエポキシ樹脂を流し込み、それが型になります。このエポキシ樹脂は熱硬化性樹脂のため、オーブンで��熱し固めることで機械的特性に優れた型が得られます。 型を造形するために用いた枠は、水に浸すとフレーク状に砕けるため容易に除去可能です。造形した型は、表面精度を高めるため切削加工で研磨する等、仕上げ処理を施して完成です。

型を造形するCIM方式 FRP用の成形型などにおいては、型を3Dプリンターで造形する方式が実用化されています。
