FDM or SLA resin 3D printing: how to choose
How FDM printing works, how SLA resin works, and which one to choose: six criteria compared, from precision through to cost.

The Makia3D workshop grows: the Creality K2 Plus arrives
A 350 x 350 x 350 mm build volume, the CFS multi-colour system and an actively heated chamber: the K2 Plus widens what we can print in FDM.
Our work
50 ASA parts to protect beehives from the Asian hornet
A run of 50 ASA cones to protect beehives from the Asian hornet. A geometry bridging in every direction, achieved after several rounds of settings.
Our work
A CAPTAS-4 teaching kit in the service of science outreach
An educational, playful construction kit designed with Thales, to introduce younger audiences to the CAPTAS-4 and to naval technology.
Our work
400 years of the Marine nationale: back to the CAPTAS-4 kit
The CAPTAS-4 sonar turned into a kit to assemble, carried from modelling through to packaged product, for the 400 years of the Marine nationale.
Events
Meet us at the 400 years of the Marine nationale in Antibes
On 27 June 2026 our teams are in Antibes for the 400 years of the Marine nationale, with our work on show on a stand.
Know-how
Your 3D files stay with you: printing that is 100 % local
Our printers run locally, with no external cloud server: your STL files and your proprietary geometries never leave the workshop.
Know-how
Two ways to have your part modelled
From scratch, starting from nothing but an idea, or from your dimensioned drawings: two starting points for a 3D model ready to print.
Know-how
Resin 3D printing: what happens next?
Resin does not stop at the print: solvent baths, UV post-curing and support removal shape the result as much as the printer does.
Know-how
Architects: give your projects a new dimension
Turning technical drawings into high-precision physical models: client visualisation, validation of volumes, lower costs and shorter lead times.
Know-how
Speed up your launches: 3D printing for your pre-series
Validating a product before industrialisation without investing in costly moulds: 3D printing in the critical pre-series phase.
