Overview of 3D printing methods, their methodological principles, sub methods, and selected characteristics of the respective method. SLA: stereolithography; DLP: Digital light processing; CDLP: Continuous digital light processing; FDM: fused deposition modeling; SLS: selective laser sintering; MJF: multi jet fusion; EBM: electron beam melting; NPJ: nanoparticle jetting; DOD: Drop on Demand; BJ: Binder jetting. *Layer height varies based on 3D printer and material, so the stated number is a rough guideline value. Green check mark: possible/good performance; red X: not possible/low performance
