Multiple Styles of Filament business / maker

1) Reseller: These are typically online shops who don’t make any products or even re-brand them, but merely collect (hopefully) good quality products from other manufacturers and place them for sale. 
2) Small Manufacturer: A small operation dedicated to producing 3D printer filament using their own gear. Typically these companies employ radical approaches to differentiating their products.  
3) Printer Manufacturer: Many 3D printer manufacturers also sell filament, but in almost all cases they are simply partnering with another manufacturer and re-labeling the product to the printer manufacturer’s brand. 
4) Partner Manufacturer: Some filament manufacturers partner with larger plastics companies to jointly produce unique filament products unavailable to smaller manufacturers who don’t have access to chemists and labs to create new plastics. 
5) Repurposed Manufacturer: Often an existing plastics manufacturer attempts to re-purpose their equipment to produce 3D printer filament as a sideline business. While sometimes successful, these ventures often need to acquire a deeper understanding of the 3D printer market.  
6) Mega Corporation: Existing multinational plastics companies have begun producing 3D printer filament using their extensive production processes, innovative laboratories and long list of plastic patents.

How different types of 3d printers works?

FDM WORKING : A 3D model file (usually a .STL or .OBJ) is imported into a program called a slicer. Cura, Slic3r, and Simplify3D are all great examples of slicer programs.  This program will “slice” the object into single layers and create gcode that tells the printer where to move and also controls parameters like print speed and temperature.  Gcode is sent to the machine The printing nozzle heats and melts filament that’s forced through the nozzle The object is built layer by layer with each successive layer fusing on top of the one below it until the 3D object is complete Software recommended:  Slic3r ,  Cura  &    Ideamaker   SLA WORKING : The 3D Model is imported into a slicing program like PreForm, Ideamaker,  A tank is filled with liquid photo-polymer resin  A build platform lowers into the tank and one layer of the design is traced by a UV laser. The laser is positioned using...

How easy is modeling for 3D printing?

Well modelling for 3D printing is as similar as to normal CAD modelling, but like any other machining process you need to decide some degree of tolerance especially when you are designing a parts with int. Since, modelling can be done on many software, but if you are engineer and want to design a part that have movement so you better understand above statement. { Note: I am making a pdf or standard tolerance limit, it is currently under process and will be applicable for all design purpose including for 3D printing. } So Let me answer how easy is modelling for 3D printing, well it is totally depend on what type of model you are making it can be a simple toy or toy with moving parts, it can be jewelry or any engineering / architecture prototype. So, if your designing just for basic application I recommend you try online software like ThinkerCAD, Vectary And BlocksCAd. This are the most easiest software that I found for modelling. The best among this that even I use is vectary s...
