Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of main AM technologies
| AM Technologies | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| VP | Low cost, high-detail surfaces, high printing speed | Low mechanical properties, parts degrade over time, limited materials |
| FDM | Low cost, easy to use, simple post-processing if necessary | Low mechanical properties, low resolution, low accuracy |
| BJ | No support structures needed, high resolution, cost effective | Difficult to print full-density parts, low mechanical properties, high porosity |
| MJ | High accuracy, high printing speed, full-color parts | Costly, low mechanical properties, parts degrade over time |
| DED | Large build size without support structures, high printing speed with full density, cost effective | Low resolution, low accuracy, rough surface |
| PBF | Full-density parts, high mechanical properties, high resolution | Expensive, low printing speed, post-processing required |
