Seminar On: 3D Printing

This document provides an overview of 3D printing including definitions, principles, methods, applications, challenges, and references. It defines 3D printing as additive manufacturing that creates 3D objects by laying down successive layers of material based on a digital model. The document describes common 3D printing methods like selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography, fused deposition modeling (FDM), and laminated object manufacturing. It outlines applications in prototyping, modeling, and custom parts, and challenges regarding intellectual property and potential illegal uses.

What is 3D Printing?
• For methods of applying a 2-D image
on a 3-D surface

• Additive manufacturing or 3D
printing is a process of making a
three-dimensional solid object of
virtually any shape from a digital
model. 3D printing is achieved using
an additive process, where
successive layers of material are laid
down in different shapes.
What is 3D Printing?
• Additive Manufacturing: The
term additive manufacturing refers to
technologies that create objects
through a sequential layering
process. Objects that are
manufactured additively can be used
anywhere throughout the product life
cycle,
General Principles
• Modeling
• Printing
• Finishing
Modeling
• Additive manufacturing takes virtual
blueprints from 
computer aided design (CAD) or 
animation modeling software and
"slices" them into digital cross-
sections for the machine to
successively use as a guideline for
printing.
Printing

• To perform a print, the machine reads the


design and lays down successive layers of
liquid, powder, or sheet material to build
the model from a series of cross sections.
• These layers, which correspond to the
virtual cross sections from the CAD model,
are joined together or automatically fused
to create the final shape.
• The primary advantage of this technique is
its ability to create almost any shape or
geometric feature.
Finishing

• Though the printer-produced resolution is


sufficient for many applications, printing a
slightly oversized version of the desired
object in standard resolution, and then
removing material with a higher-resolution
subtractive process can achieve a higher-
resolution.
Different Methods
• Selective laser sintering (SLS)
• Stereolithography
• Fused deposition modeling
(FDM)
• Laminated object manufacturing
Selective laser sintering
(SLS)
• Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive
manufacturing technique that uses a high
power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide
laser) to fuse small particles of plastic, metal
(direct metal laser sintering),ceramic or glass
powders into a mass that has a desired 3-
dimensional shape
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY
• Stereolithography
is an additive
manufacturing
process using a
vat of liquid UV-
curable
photopolymer
”resin” and a UV
laser to build
parts a layer at a
time.
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY
(Cont…)
• CAD (Computer
Assisted Design)
Programs help users
create STL Files for the
3D Printers to read.
• STL
(STereoLithography) file
format – a file format
which uses many little
triangles to make a 3
dimensional plot of the
objects intended
surface.
FDM
• Fused deposition
modeling (FDM) is
an additive
manufacturing
technology
commonly used for
modeling,
prototyping, and
production
applications
Laminated object
manufacturing
• Laminated object
manufacturing (LOM)
is a rapid prototyping
system developed by
Helisys Inc. In it,
layers of adhesive-
coated paper, plastic
or metal laminates
are successively
glued together and
cut to shape with a
knife or laser cutter.
Applications
• Prototyping
• Modeling
• Custom parts
• Design
• Research
Challenges Facing 3D
Printing
• Intellectual
property rights of
the 3D Printer
users.
• Nearly anything
can be printed by
3D Printers and
this is a troubling
prospect if
criminals use 3D
Printers to create
illegal products.
Conclusion
• Nothing communicates ideas faster
than a three-dimensional part or
model. With a 3D printer you can
bring CAD files and design ideas to
life – right from your desktop.
• Test form, fit and function – and as
many design variations as you like –
with functional parts.
