3D + Printing = 3D Printing or
“Additive Manufacturing”
• 3D printing is a
process of making
three dimensional
solid objects from a
digital file.
• The creation of a 3D
printed object is
achieved using
additive processes.
HISTORY OF 3D PRINTERS
1984
Charles (Chuck) Hull developed the first 3D printer and named the
technique as Stereo lithography.
1990
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
were introduced.
1993
MIT patented another technology, named "3 Dimensional Printing
techniques", which is similar to the inkjet technology used in 2D
Printers.
2005
Z Corp launched first high definition color 3D printer.
Terminology
• Additive manufacturing - refers to technologies that
create objects through sequential layering.
Stereo
lithography 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.
3.Fused deposition modeling (FDM)
Fused deposition modeling
(FDM) is an additive
manufacturing technology
commonly used for modeling,
prototyping, and production
applications.
The model or part is
produced by extruding
small beads of material
which harden
immediately to form
layers.
A thermoplastic filament
or metal wire that is
wound on a coil is
unreeled to supply
material to
an extrusion nozzle head.
The nozzle head heats
the material and turns

Process is slow
Components do not have enough strength.
COST OF RAW MATERIALS
3-D printers are still expensive.
Misuse of technology
Although 3-D printers have the potential of
creating many jobs and opportunities, they might
also put certain jobs at risk .
(for example, you can make your toys at home so
toy stores and toy makers might go out of
business).
