After printing an image using heat transfer paper and ink, a heat press machine applies heat and pressure to transfer the design onto various items, such as mugs, glass cups, ceramic plates, canvas bags, T-shirts, hats, and more.
Materials Used
Heat transfer ink
Uses a high-power laser focused on the material surface to engrave or cut, depending on power, speed, and mode.
SLA uses liquid resin as the material, forming objects by curing it with a laser. The finished surface is smooth and detailed, making it ideal for intricate designs and small part prototypes. However, the material is relatively costly, and post-processing is more complex, requiring alcohol for curing and cleaning, or additional UV light exposure to enhance curing.
