Which 3D printing process uses a thermoplastic filament as the raw material?

(i) SLA
(ii) FDM
(iii) SLS
(iv) Binder Jetting

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (ii) FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling melts a thermoplastic filament (PLA, ABS, PETG) in a heated nozzle and deposits it layer by layer. SLA uses liquid resin, SLS uses powder.
