What is Printing
Types of Printers
-Dot matrix
-Ink jet
-Laser
-LCD
Images of some of the printers:-
1.Modelling:
-Additive Manufacturing takes virtual
blueprints from CAD or animation modeling
software and slices them into digital cross-
sections for the machines to successively use as
a guideline for printing.
2.Printing:
-To perform a print, the machine
Reads the design and lays down
layers of liquid powder or sheet
material to build the model from a
series of cross-section.These layers,
which correspond to the virtual
cross- section from the CAD models
are joined together to create the final shape.
3.Finishing:
-Though the printer-produced resolution is sufficient for
many applications, printing a slightly oversized object in
standard resolution, and then removing material with a
higher resolution subtractive process can achieve a
higher-resolution.
Working technologies:-
1.Stereolithography(SLA):
-It is a process for creating 3-Dimensional object
using a CAM controlled laser to build the required
structure, layer by layer.
4.Ink-jet 3D Printing:
-It creates the model one layer at a time by
spreading a layer of powder and inkjet printing
binder in the cross-section of the part.
-It is the most widely used 3-D printing technology
these days.

Workflow of 3-D Printer:-
Applications of 3-D Printing:-
Design prototype:
-It can be used for printing concept
model, functional prototypes and
presentation model for evaluating.
Education:
-Engage students by bringing digital
concepts in real world.
Healthcare:
-Rapidly produce 3D models to reduce
operating time and in production of
artificial organs for patients.
Applications of 3D Printing:
More local manufacturing
Increased customization
Open design
&
Many more
Advantages Disadvantages
Print movable parts No regulations on what
can be made
Print items in remote
locations Kids could print out
dangerous items
Ability to send items
over internet and print Provide advantages for
out at home criminals
No restrictions on industry.
Significant
decrease in product development
cycle and costs.
