    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?
    How Does It Work?

    The printer forms the


    item by depositing the
    A person creates a The CAD material in layers—
    3D image of an item information starting from the
    bottom layer—onto a
    using a CAD is sent to platform. In some
    software program. the printer. cases light or lasers
    are used to harden the
    material.
    Methods of 3D Printing
    1.Selective Laser Sintering(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 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 storage cost
    Quick availability of organs.
    Disadvantages:

    Intellectual property issues


    Unchecked production of dangerous items
    Limitations of size
    Limitations of raw material
    Cost of printers
    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.
