Battle of the technologies SAF SLS and MJF

Overview

Powder bed fusion technologies, such as SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), MJF (Multi-Jet Fusion) and SAF™ (Selective Absorption Fusion), are widely recognized additive manufacturing technologies that are used for prototyping and production projects for numerous industries, such as aerospace, transportation and medical devices. 

But what are the distinguishing features of each technology? How do you determine which to use for your project?

In this Battle of Technologies, we pit each of the technologies against each other to discover.

  • What each technology brings to the table that the others don’t
  • Which applications are best suited for which technology
  • When to use PBF technologies for manufacturing projects
  • The cost implications for using one technology over another
