    3D printers use computer-aided design (CAD) to create solid objects layer by layer using materials like plastic or metal powder. They work by additive manufacturing which is building an object up, versus subtractive which removes material. First a 3D digital model is created and sliced into thin layers, then the 3D printer deposits the material according to these slices to construct a physical object. 3D printers have applications in manufacturing prototypes, customized prosthetics, and artistic creations.

    3D Printers

    • What is a 3D Printer? How does it work?

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    Ch. 5: Input and Output Devices
    3D Printers

    • 3D PRINTERS are primarily used in COMPUTER-


    AIDED DESIGN (CAD) applications.

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • They can produce solid objects which actually
    work.

    • The solid object is built up layer by layer using


    materials such as powdered resin, powdered
    metal, paper or ceramic powder.
    Ch. 5: Input and Output Devices
    Types of 3D Manufacturing

    • ADDITIVE Manufacturing:

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • The object is built up layer by layer.

    • SUBTRACTIVE Manufacturing:
    • Removal of material to make the object.

    Ch. 5: Input and Output Devices


    Types of 3D Manufacturing

    • Direct 3D printing:
    • Uses inkjet technology; a print head can move left

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    to right as in a normal printer. However, the print
    head can also move up and down to build up the
    layers of an object.

    • Binder 3D printing is similar to direct 3D printing.


    However, this method uses two passes for each of
    the layers; the first pass sprays dry powder and
    then on the second pass a binder (a type of glue)
    is sprayed to form a solid layer.

    Printers?

    • Prosthetic limbs made to exactly fit the recipient.

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • Items to allow precision reconstructive surgery.

    • In aerospace, manufacturers are looking at making


    wings and other parts using 3D technology.

    • In fashion and art – 3D printing allows new


    creative ideas to be developed making parts for
    items no longer in production, e.g. suspension
    parts for a vintage car.

    LCD and LED monitors

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    Ch. 5: Input & Output Devices
    LCD and LED monitors
    • These days, most monitors and television sets are made using liquid
    crystal display/diode (LCD) technology.

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • The front layer of the monitor is made up of liquid crystal
    diodes; these tiny diodes are grouped together in threes or
    fours, which are known as pixels (picture elements).

    • The three colours which are grouped together use red, green and
    blue diodes. Those systems that use groups of four include a yellow
    diode – this is said to make the colours more vivid.

    • Old LCDs used Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp (CCFL),


    Modern LCD monitors are backlit using light emitting diode
    (LED)technology.

    LED and CCFL

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    Ch. 5: Input & Output Devices
    Advantages of LED over CCFL
    • LEDs reach their maximum brightness almost
    immediately (there is no need to ‘warm up’ before
    reaching full efficiency).

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • LEDs give a whiter light, which sharpens the image
    and makes the colours appear more vivid; CCFL had a
    slightly yellowish tint.

    • Monitors using LED technology are much thinner than


    monitors using CCFL technology.

    • LEDs consume very little power, which means they


    produce less heat as well as using less energy.

    Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    Ch. 5: Input & Output Devices
    Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)

    • Future LED technology will make use of organic


    light emitting diodes (OLEDs).

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • These use organic materials (made up of
    carbon compounds) to create semiconductors
    that are very flexible.

    Ch. 5: Input & Output Devices


    Advantages of OLED over LCD and LED
    • the plastic, organic layers of an OLED are thinner,
    lighter and more flexible than the crystal
    structures used in LEDs or LCDs.

    Compiled by: Muhammad Ali Ahsan


    • The light-emitting layers of an OLED are lighter;
    OLED layers can be made from plastic rather than
    the glass as used in LED and LCD screens.

    • OLEDs give a brighter light than LEDs.

    • OLEDs do not require backlighting like LCD


    screens, OLEDs generate their own light.
