Introduction
3D printing is a simple technique to produce just about anything you think. With a 3D modeling application and a desktop 3D printer, you can build almost anything. But, on the other hand, still, 3D printing has managed to remain somewhat out of reach, with only a few companies and individuals producing the necessary equipment.
Thus, some companies like JLCPCB are making things easier for you. JLCPCB’s service employs industrial 3D printing machines, allowing clients to obtain high-quality prints at affordable costs with short lead times.
Process of 3D Printing
Additive manufacturing, often known as 3D printing, creates three-dimensional solid constructions from a computer file. By laying down consecutive layers of material, a 3D-printed item is generated. Computer-aided design (CAD) files are used to create objects.
Before a 3D printer prints an object, the CAD file must first be converted to a format that a 3D printer can understand, which is often in the STL file format which stands created by 3D Systems.
Materials Used
Stereolithography Technology
SLA, or stereolithography, is the oldest 3D printing technology ever devised. The stereolithography process for 3D printing is part of the vat photo-polymerization technology, sometimes known as resin 3D printing, which is a family of Additive Manufacturing technologies. One of the most common 3D printing methods is vat photopolymerization, in which liquid resin is converted into rigid plastic when exposed to light sources such as a laser or a projector.

Multi Jet Fusion Technology
Fusion of multi-jets Powder-bed 3D printing, often known as MJF, is a resource for 3D printing. It’s a manufacturing approach for producing one-of-a-kind items with flawless surfaces.
The Multi Jet Fusion technique creates functional nylon prototypes and manufacturing parts. Surface finishes are excellent, feature sharpness is superb, and mechanical qualities are constant.

Why choose JLCPCB 3D printing technology?
JLCPCB Provides printing at 1$ and uses Stereolithography and Multijet fusion technologies. Stereolithography has several advantages, including the ability to quickly prototype or build the entire final product. SLA components have a very smooth surface finish, making them ideal for creating realistic prototypes. Multi Jet Fusion technique produces finer edges than other technologies, and MJF components frequently seem smoother.
