3D Printing vs CNC Machining
While creating a fully-functional part or prototype, you have the option to choose from many manufacturing technologies. The manufacturing technologies and methods can be broadly divided into two categories – additive and subtractive. Additive manufacturing technologies create three-dimensional parts and prototype layer by layer from digital 3D models.
On the other hand, subtractive manufacturing technologies form solid three-dimensional objects by removing

DMLS Advantages and Disadvantages
While creating a part or prototype, you have the option to choose from several additive manufacturing technologies. Each additive manufacturing technique produces the part or prototype using fusing specific materials or filaments. Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) is a widely used 3D printing technology that produces fully-functional production parts and prototypes using metal materials.
According to TechTerms.com,
“When creating a metallic object,

SLS 3D Printing Process
You can produce solid three-dimensional objects from digital three-dimensional models using various 3D printing technologies. Each 3D printing technology produces the three-dimensional object physically by processing and curing the filament in a specific way. Selective laser sintering (SLS) 3D printing technology forms the solid structure by sintering powdered materials using a high-power laser.
According to Wikipedia,
“Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an

3D Printing Services for Hobbyists
Like enterprises from various industries, hobbyists use 3D printing technologies to open up the world to new possibilities and passions. Hobbyists, unlike enterprises, lack enough funds to purchase professional 3D printers. They often look for hobbyist 3D printers that deliver great and reliable printing performance consistently without being expensive or pricey.
The hobbyist 3D printers lack the advanced features and superior

SLS 3D Printing: Advantages and Disadvantages
You can use a 3D printer to create a variety of three-dimensional objects from three-dimensional objects. But you can make the 3D-printed object meet your precise requirements only by choosing the right 3D printing technologies. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a mature 3D printing technology that was developed in the mid-1980s. But SLS 3D printing technology is still used widely
