FDM is one popular technology and it works by extruding a material that is around 80% metal powder and 20% polymer binder material by weight. Once printing is complete, the print requires debinding and sintering to achieve the desired solid metal part. Material Extrusion is by far the most affordable metal 3D printing technology, at about 10% the cost of the other three categories, making it the most accessible of all types of metal 3D printing when it comes to individual users, small businesses, or at scale within larger businesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-6233a225bc03a fl-col-group-nested fl-col-group-equal-height fl-col-group-align-center\" data-node=\"6233a225bc03a\">\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-6233a225bc0b8 fl-col-small\" data-node=\"6233a225bc0b8\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-6233a231c5540\" data-node=\"6233a231c5540\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n\n<p><strong>Hardware Cost  $5K &#8211; $110K<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-6233a225bc0ba\" data-node=\"6233a225bc0ba\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-6233a240958de\" data-node=\"6233a240958de\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\">\n    <div class=\"fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-png\">\n                <figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1503\" class=\"wp-block-image \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"82\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/mkb_blog_Screen-Shot-2022-03-17-at-2.11.34-PM-400x82-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2022-03-17 at 2.11.34 PM\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-62335e14b2544\" data-node=\"62335e14b2544\">\n    <div class=\"fl-row-content-wrap\">\n                        <div class=\"fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content\">\n\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-62335e14b2616\" data-node=\"62335e14b2616\">\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-62335e14b2617 fl-col-has-cols\" data-node=\"62335e14b2617\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-heading fl-node-62335e14b261a\" data-node=\"62335e14b261a\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <h3 class=\"fl-heading\">\n        <span class=\"fl-heading-text\">Powder Bed Fusion<\/span>\n    <\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-62335e14b261b\" data-node=\"62335e14b261b\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\">\n    <div class=\"fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-jpg\">\n                <figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1504\" class=\"wp-block-image \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/mkb_blog_shutterstock_1093940387-scaled-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Powder Bed Fusion\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-62335e14b261c\" data-node=\"62335e14b261c\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n\n<p>Powder Bed Fusion is one of the types of metal 3D printing that actually contains multiple technologies, including Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Electron Beam Melting (EBM).

A powerful beam of photons (laser) or electrons (EBM) is flashed onto the individual powder particles to sinter or melt them ultimately to form a strong bond with the adjacent particle. By flashing the beam on the required particles according to the geometry, the powder is melted together and the object is formed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"fl-col-group

A nozzle holds the material in a wire form, known as a feed, that moves across multiple axes. An electron beam projector or laser then melts the feed as it moves across while tracing the object geometry. This process is also called Laser Engineered Net Shaping, 3D Laser Cladding, Directed Light Fabrication or Direct Metal Deposition. This technology is much less precise but faster than other technologies, making it ideal for very large projects. Post-processing involves general shape refinement through grinding, sanding, polishing, etc. Of the types of metal 3D printing this one is generally the most expensive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-6233a3b3c641a fl-col-group-nested fl-col-group-equal-height fl-col-group-align-center\" data-node=\"6233a3b3c641a\">\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-6233a3b3c6499 fl-col-small\" data-node=\"6233a3b3c6499\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-6233a5707085c\" data-node=\"6233a5707085c\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n\n<p><strong>Hardware Cost  $200K &#8211; $2M<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-6233a3b3c649b\" data-node=\"6233a3b3c649b\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-6233a60bdfb61\" data-node=\"6233a60bdfb61\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\">\n    <div class=\"fl-photo-content fl-photo-img-png\">\n                <figure id=\"attachment_mmd_1508\" class=\"wp-block-image \"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/ultimaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/mkb_blog_4-dollars-400x89-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"4 dollars\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-6239e70d45cef\" data-node=\"6239e70d45cef\">\n    <div class=\"fl-row-content-wrap\">\n                        <div class=\"fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content\">\n\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-6239e70d51237 fl-col-group-equal-height fl-col-group-align-center\" data-node=\"6239e70d51237\">\n            <div class=\"fl-col fl-node-6239e70d512b3 fl-col-small\" data-node=\"6239e70d512b3\">\n    <div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-6239e7456596c\" data-node=\"6239e7456596c\">\n    <div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n        <div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n\n<p>This article is a section from MakerBot&#8217;s <em>Definitive Guide to Metal 3D Printing in Your Workshop<\/em>.
