The choice between PLA and PLA+ is not a simple “upgrade or not”, but a precise trade-off based on the application scenario. PLA is still an ideal choice for low-intensity scenarios such as education and decorative models due to its low cost, ease of use and environmental protection;

The essential difference between DLP (digital light processing) and SLA (stereolithography) stems from the technical principle: DLP uses a projector to solidify the resin in a whole layer, which is fast and low-cost, and is suitable for mass production of small and medium-sized parts (such as invisible braces); while SLA relies on laser point-by-point scanning,

The core difference between urethane casting and injection molding lies in material properties, production efficiency and precision level. Urethane casting uses room temperature curing resin, which is fast and low cost (especially for small batches), but is limited by strength (≤80 MPa) and precision (±0.3 mm), and is suitable for flexible, low-load short-term parts (such as cushions,

HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) is an engineering plastic optimized for 3D printing that combines high strength, impact resistance, and soluble support properties. It is suitable for dual-printhead printing, often used as a support material with ABS, and can be easily dissolved with limonene solvent,

In the field of 3D printing, PVA and HIPS are two mainstream support materials with significant differences: PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble material, especially suitable for use with low-temperature consumables such as PLA, which dissolves quickly, is environmentally friendly and easy to operate; while HIPS (high-impact polystyrene) needs to be dissolved with limonene solvent.
