What is Additive Manufacturing?

• The term Rapid Prototyping (or RP) is used to describe a process for rapidly creating

a system or part representation before final release or commercialization.

• A recently formed Technical Committee within ASTM International agreed that new

terminology should be adopted. Recently adopted ASTM consensus standards now

use the term Additive Manufacturing.

• The basic principle of this technology is that a model, initially generated using a 3D

Computer Aided Design (3D CAD) system, can be fabricated directly without the

need for process planning.


Additive Manufacturing – Layer Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, rapid prototyping or freeform
fabrication, is ‘the process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model
data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing
methodologies’ such as machining.
Additive Manufacturing – Layer Manufacturing

“Additive Manufacturing” (AM) is a layer-based automated fabrication


process for making scaled 3-dimensional physical objects directly from
3D-CAD data without using part-depending tools.

It was originally called “3D Printing”.

Additive manufacturing also refers to technologies that create objects,


layer by layer or sequential layering

Three Phases of Development Leading to Rapid Prototyping
First Phase: Manual Prototyping
Geometric Modeling Prototyping
• First Phase: 2D Wireframe First Phase: Manual Prototyping
Started in mid-1960s • Traditional practice for many centuries
Few straight lines on display may be: • Prototyping as a skilled crafts is:
• circuit path on a PCB • traditional and manual
• plan view of a mechanical component • based on material of prototype
“Natural” drafting technique • “Natural” prototyping technique
Second Phase: 3D Curve and Second Phase: Soft or Virtual
Surface Modeling Prototyping
• Mid-1970s • Mid-1970s
• Increasing complexity • Increasing complexity
• Representing more information about precise shape, size and • Virtual prototype can be stressed, simulated and tested,
surface contour of parts with exact mechanical and other properties
Third Phase: Solid Modeling Third Phase: Rapid Prototyping
• Early 1980s • Mid-1980s
• Edges, surfaces and holes are knitted together to form a • Benefit of a hard prototype made in a very short
cohesive whole turnaround time is its main strong point (relies on CAD
• Computer can determine the inside of an object from the modeling)
outside. • Hard prototype can also be used for limited testing
• No longer ambiguous but exact • Prototype can also assist in the
manufacturing of the products
