3d Printer

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, creates three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file by building up successive layers of material. There are several types of 3D printing including selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and fused deposition modeling. 3D printing has various applications in fields such as concept modeling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools, end-user parts, medicine, fashion, and more. While offering advantages such as customization and rapid production, 3D printing also faces challenges including intellectual property issues, costs, and limitations on size and materials.

Overview of 3D Printing
“3D printing” or “Additive Manufacturing” takes digital input in the
form of Computer Aided Design (CAD) model and creates solid,
three dimensional parts through an additive, layer by layer process.
Types of Manufacturing
 Additive Manufacturing
 Subtractive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing could


reduce energy use by 50% and
reduces material costs by up to
96% compared to traditional
manufacturing.
General Principles
1.Modelling:It takes virtual blueprints from modeling
software and “slices” them into digital cross-sections for
the machine to successively use as a guideline for
printing.
2.Printing:To perform a print, the machine reads the
design from an .stl file and lays down successive layers
of liquid, powder, paper or sheet material to build the
model from a series of cross section.
3.Finishing
How Does It Work?

The printer forms the


item by depositing the

using a CAD is sent to platform. In some
software program. the printer. cases light or lasers
are used to harden the
material.
A virtual design of the object is
created.
CAD (Computer Aided Design)
uses a 3D modeling program or 3D
scanner for virtual design.
The software slices the final model
into hundreds or thousands of
horizontal layers.
The printer creates the object layer
by layer, resulting in one three-
dimensional object.
Types of 3D Printing
1.Selective LaserSintering(SLS)
2.Stereolithography
3.Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM)

Stereolithography

FDM
Selective Laser Sintering
It is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a high
power laser( for eg. CO2 laser) to fuse small particles of
plastic, metal, ceramic or glass powders into a mass that
has a desired 3D shape.
Stereolithography
It is an additive manufacturing process that works by
focusing an ultraviolet (UV) laser on to a vat
of photopolymer resin.
Fused deposition modeling
It is the most common type and it build parts layer-by-layer
from the bottom up by heating and extruding thermoplastic
filament. Used for modelling, prototyping and production
applications.
FDM
3D Printing Materials

Acrylonitrile Butadiene 1.Plastic Filament PLA Polylactic acid or


Styrene (ABS) polylactide (PLA, Poly)

Flexible Plastic (TPE) Nylon


2.Metals

Brass, Bronze, Platinum, Silver and Gold

Steel Aluminum
Applications
1. Concept Modeling :This lets
small design and engineering firms
extend their reach by testing out
more ideas .
2. Functional Prototyping: It helps
in creating amazingly realistic
prototypes with the look and feel of
a real product.
Example:
Lamborghini, while developing its
new flagship model Aventador has
made extensive use of 3D printing
technology to build a
functional prototype of the car.
3.Manufacturing Tools:
Quick, low-volume tooling
and custom fixtures give
manufacturers the flexibility
to embrace more opportunities.
4.End-User Parts
5.Food
6.Fashion & Retail
7.Medical:

Bioprinting Tissues and organs Artificial Arms for Disabled

Medical Equipments Secrets of the Heart


Future Scope
1.Complex Engine parts.
2.On demand parts in Space.
3. Aircraft Wings.
4. 3D Printing as a Service(3DPaaS)
5.3D-printed Lunar Base 6.Design your own clothes

7.Print your home


Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
 Ability to customize products
 Rapid production of prototypes.
 Low cost of production.
 No storagecost
 Quick availability of organs.
Disadvantages:
 Intellectual propertyissues
 Unchecked production of dangerous items
 Limitations ofsize
 Limitations of raw material
 Cost ofprinters
Conclusion
3D Printing is an expanding technology which may
soon start an industry in which everyone has the
possibility of being a manufacturer.

3D Printing has a lot of possible benefits to society,


although the products created must be regulated.
Challenges
1. Cost: June 2011 – The current cost for a personal printer
is $1200. The cheapest Commercial printer can be
commissioned at $30,000
2. Inability to easily print in multiple materials on
the same machine: Particularly plastic, metal and
conductive materials. The colors are a touch dull and matt
finish only.
3. A decent standard for model designs: The current
standard STL files have some limitations. July 2011 – A
new standard has been proposed – the AMF file format, but
at this stage it is not well known or well used.
4. Speed: Printing is s…l…o…w. It takes a long time to
build even the smallest piece.
