Selective Sintering SLS: Plastic, metal SHS DMLS: Stainless steel, cobalt-chrome, titanium.. EBM (Electron Beam Melting): titanium, Co-Cr + saves materials (up to 90%) - rough finish www.arptech.com.au/slshelp.htm
Three Dimensional Printing (3DP) + Cheaper than SLS + Textured parts + Colours possible - Rough finish - Brittle parts www.uni.edu/~rao/rt/major_tech.htm
Laminated Object Manufacturing + Size + Speed -complex forms - Important finishing work

New business models Italian company Barilla is looking to equip restaurants with 3D food printers, allowing customers to design and print their own custom pasta. They want to be able to print 15-20 pieces of pasta in under two minutes. According to reports, Barilla aims to offer customers cartridges of dough that they can insert into a 3D printer to create their own pasta designs. http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jan/09/3d-printed-pasta-shapes http://3dprintinginsider.com/pasta-leader-barilla-looks-to-innovate-with-3d-food-printers_b12909 http://www.corriere.it/foto-gallery/tecnologia/app-software/14_gennaio_31/cibo-stampato-3d-4ce031f6-8a6d-11e3-aecc-b2fa07970b97.shtml#1
