Most household printers are FDM, the resolution is okay but not great for super-detailed work or where friction and tolerance are important.
Places like Shapeways mostly use SLS, a little more expensive to print but better detail. This needs sanding, though, as the parts come out 'sandy'. SLA gives a smoother surface but uses solid supports that must be clipped and sanded.
Some places have polyjet machines, which print very high resolution and very smooth. Sanding may be nessisary but the surface quality is good, and the support structure is like a rubbery jelly so it just need to be scrubbed off. The downside is that cost is SUPER high, especially compaired to FDM. These two parts are raw prints off a Stratasys polyjet machine, a hammer and trigger for a nerf blaster. There's very slight striations but otherwise the surface is great. They cost me $38 to print at 'wholesale' pricing, supposedly I was only charged for the resin and print time. On my Monoprice Mini they would have cost me a few cents worth of filament.
