3-D surface

 Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is a


process of making a three-dimensional solid
object of virtually any shape from a digital
model. 3D printing is achieved using
an additive process, where successive layers
of material are laid down in different shapes.
 Additive Manufacturing: The term additive
manufacturing refers to technologies that
create objects through a sequential layering
process. Objects that are manufactured
additively can be used anywhere throughout
the product life cycle,
 Modeling
 Printing
 Finishing
 Additive manufacturing takes virtual
blueprints from computer aided
design (CAD) or animation modeling
software and "slices" them into digital
cross-sections for the machine to
successively use as a guideline for printing.
 To perform a print, the machine reads the design
and lays down successive layers of liquid, powder,
or sheet material to build the model from a series
of cross sections.
 These layers, which correspond to the virtual cross
sections from the CAD model, are joined together
or automatically fused to create the final shape.
 The primary advantage of this technique is its
ability to create almost any shape or geometric
feature.
 Though the printer-produced resolution is
sufficient for many applications, printing a slightly
oversized version of the desired object in standard
resolution, and then removing material with a
higher-resolution subtractive process can achieve a
higher-resolution.
 Selective laser sintering (SLS)
 Stereolithography
 Fused deposition modeling (FDM)
 Laminated object manufacturing
 Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive
manufacturing technique that uses a high power
laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse
small particles of plastic, metal (direct metal laser
sintering),ceramic or glass powders into a mass that
has a desired 3-dimensional shape
 Stereolithography
is an additive
manufacturing
process using a vat
of liquid UV-
curable
photopolymer ”resi
n” and a UV laser
to build parts a
layer at a time.
 CAD (Computer Assisted
Design) Programs help
users create STL Files for
the 3D Printers to read.
 STL (STereoLithography)
file format – a file format
which uses many little
triangles to make a 3
dimensional plot of the
objects intended surface.
 Fused deposition
modeling (FDM) is an
additive
manufacturing
technology commonly
used for modeling,
prototyping, and
production
applications
 Laminated object
manufacturing (LOM) is
a rapid prototyping
system developed by
Helisys Inc. In it, layers
of adhesive-coated
paper, plastic or metal
laminates are
successively glued
together and cut to
shape with a knife or
laser cutter.
 Prototyping
 Modeling
 Custom parts
 Design
 Research
 Intellectual property
rights of the 3D
Printer users.
 Nearly anything can
be printed by 3D
Printers and this is a
troubling prospect if
criminals use 3D
Printers to create
illegal products.
 Nothing communicates ideas faster than a
three-dimensional part or model. With a
3D printer you can bring CAD files and
design ideas to life – right from your
desktop.
 Test form, fit and function – and as many
design variations as you like – with
functional parts.
