Abstract
FDM, SLS, and EOS processes are the layered manufacturing processes far functional prototypes. In this paper, bench mark tests of those processes were carried out using various materials. The test includes mechanical properties, such as tensile and compressive strengths, hardness, impact strength, and heat resistance, and surface roughness, shape and dimensional accuracy, manufacturing time, and manufacturing costs. It is verified that SLS method is advantageous in surface roughness and manufacturing time, EOS method in shape accuracy, and FDM method is great in manufacturing costs.
