FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) dominates the US market by availability, reflecting its lower equipment cost and wider material range. SLA resin printing is the second most common technology, driven by demand for high-detail prototypes and dental/medical applications.
| Technology | Services Offering | % of Directory |
|---|---|---|
| FDM | 1234 | 97.2% |
| SLA | 6 | 0.5% |
| SLS | 3 | 0.2% |
| Metal | 27 | 2.1% |
| Multicolor | 0 | 0.0% |
Note: Many services offer multiple technologies. Percentages sum to more than 100%.
California leads all US states by a wide margin, driven by Silicon Valley's product development culture, the LA entertainment and fashion industry's prototyping needs, and a large manufacturing base. Texas and New York round out the top three.
