1. Current Tabletop Printers Use FDM Technology Uses heated nozzles that extrude a filament of plastic X-Y interface moves nozzle to create each layer Z interface lowers after each layer is added to prepare for next layer

2. Wait, what the heck is that? Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technology Uses UV curable resin (think, screen printing) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpH1zhUQY0c

3. Back to Reality – What can Tabletop Printers Do? Sturdy parts Relatively low material costs Time tested technology (even if only at an industrial level) Lots of variety in the types of printers and printing supplies Low cost printers not always reliable Affected by temperature, humidity, etc. Cannot build models with gaps or hollow areas very well Lots of variety in the types of printers and printing supplies
