 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Central Toolroom and Training
Centre (CTTC), Bhubaneswar, for providing invaluable resources and insights that
contributed to the development of this presentation. Special thanks go to Mohitas sir
for his guidance and support. Their expertise and assistance have been instrumental
in enhancing the quality and depth of this presentation on additive manufacturing.
 INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS IT?

Process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data,

Usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing
methodologies, such as traditional machining.

RAPID PROTOTYPING

This term was used I the beginning of the professional use of the
technology because the main application was the manufacturing
of prototypes, mock ups and sample parts.

Today most common terminologies are:

Additive Manufacturing (AM) or 3D Printing
 ADVANTAGES
Design complexity and freedom

The advent of 3D printing has seen a proliferation of products,

which involves levels of complexity that simply could not be
produced physically in any other way. It has also made a
significant impact on industrial applications, whereby applications
are being developed complex components that are proving to be
both lighter and stronger than their predecessor.

Speed

You can create complex parts within hours, with limited human
resources. Only machine operator is needed for loading the data
and the powder material.
 ADVANTAGES
Tool-less

For industrial manufacturing, one of the most cost, time & labour
intensive stages of the product development process is the
production of tools. For low to medium volume applications,
industrial 3D printing can eliminate the need for tool production.

Extreme light weight design

AM enable weight reduction via topologiacal optimization

 DISADVANTAGES
Limitations of raw material and it’s cost

3D printers can work with approximately 100 different raw

materials. This is insignificant when compared with the enormous
range of raw materials used in traditional manufacturing. The cost
of materials is slightly grater than traditional manufacturing.

Intellectual property issues

The ease with which replicas can be created using 3D technology

raises issues over intellectual property rights. The availability of
blueprints online fee of cost may change with for profit
organizations wanting to generate profits from this new
technology.
 FUTURE
Multi-Material and Multi-Functional Printing

Future additive manufacturing systems are likely to incorporate

the capability to print with multiple materials in a single process.
This will enable the creation of complex, multi-functional parts
with varying properties within the same object. For example,
combining materials with different electrical, mechanical, and
thermal characteristics within a single print.

Scaling Up Production
Additive manufacturing is already being used for rapid prototyping
and small-scale production. However, as the technology matures,
there's potential for larger-scale production to become more
feasible. This could disrupt traditional manufacturing methods by
allowing for more customized and decentralized production
systems.
