There are several different 3D printing processes found within 3D printers. The most well-known process is Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), with Stereolithography (SLA) not far behind. Selective Heat Sintering (SHS) is a less well-known 3D printing process than Fused Filament Fabrication or Stereolithography, in large part because it has been adopted
