XYZprinting produces FDM 3D printers that are perfect for education such as the Da Vinci 1.0. These printers feature enclosed environments, cartridge filament systems and no nonsense straightforward software that makes them incredibly easy to use and an ideal choice for demonstrating the technology to students.At present FDM (fused deposition modeling) printers are by far the most popular consumer choice, and with good reason ? they're easy to use and don't create a great deal of mess, whereas SLA (stereolithography) printers take time to maintain between prints and can get messy.So despite producing high quality prints the SLA process has, until now, really only been available to the pro market.
