When it comes to 3D printing, speed isn’t just a luxury—it’s often the most important factor for engineers racing against the clock. Methods like binder jetting and DLP (Digital Light Processing) are blazing trails in speed, while SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) and FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) balance efficiency and complexity for functional parts.
Whether you’re prototyping a new design or producing functional parts at scale, every second counts. So, what are the quickest 3D printing methods, and how can you harness them to hit your deadlines without compromising quality? In this guide, we’ll break down the fastest technologies, the factors that can accelerate (or stall) your printing process, and how to get your parts from concept to creation in record time.
