CONTENTS What is 3D printing ? How it works ? 3D printing v/s traditional manufacturing Work flow Methods & technology Applications 3D printing consumer option Industry growth Challenges What is 3D Printing ? 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making 3 dimensional solid object form a digital file . The creation of 3d printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created How it works ? A virtual design of object is created. CAD (Computer Aided Design) uses a 3D modeling or 3D scanner for virtual design . The software slices the final model into hundreds or thousand of horizontal layers. The printer creates the object layer by layer , resulting in one three dimensional object. Work flow Methods & Technology • Several ways to realize 3D object : 1. Selective laser sintering (SLS) : Use a higher power laser fuse input material like plastic, metal, glass etc. it scans the powdered material layer by layer. 2. Fused deposition modelling (FDE) : Uses a plastic filament or metal wire as input material to an extrusion nozzle . The nozzle is heated to melt the material and can be moved in both horizontal and vertical directions by CAM. The material hardens immediately after extrusion form the nozzle 3. Stereolithography (SLA) :photopolymerization is used to produce a solid part form a liquid .This technology employs a vat of liquid ultraviolet curable photopolymer resin and an ultra violet laser to build the object one at time. Applications Rapid prototyping : Prototyping is a cycle that produce or designing team make model for end users test, evaluate or debug, and get feedback then revise or redesign at the pre-production .Saves time & cost Personal printing : for about a thousand dollars people can to by the RepRap kit and put together their own personal 3D printer, complete with any desired customization . What really speeds the development is the open source idea. Industry Growth • Will change the nature of commerce because and user will be able to much of their own manufacturing rather then engaging in trade to by product form other people and corporations. • 3D printing will change the manufacturing world with effects on energy use, waste reduction customization product availability medicine , art construction and science . Challenges 1) Cost :June 2020 – the current cost for personal printer is $1200. The cheapest Commercial printer can be commissioned at $30,000 2) Inability to easily print in multiple material on the same machine. Particularly plastic ,metal, and conductive material 3) Speed : Printing is very slow it take a long time to build even the smallest piece . Now the Ultimaker is much faster then Makerbot
