3D PRINTING

1. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating

three-
dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. Unlike traditional
manufacturing methods that involve subtracting material (such as machining
or
carving), 3D printing adds material layer by layer until the nal object is
formed.
HISTORY
1. for the rst time in history, the concept of 3D modeling appeared in the
1960s and 1970s
2. In 1984, Charles Hull created the stereolithography process and founded
3D Systems,
which released the rst commercially available 3D printer - SLA—1 in 1987.
3. (1990 - 2000) During this period, 3D printing technologies began to spread
more
widely. Companies such as Stratasys and EOS have contributed to the
development of
fused material deposition (FDM) and selective laser sintering (SLS)
technologies.
4. In 2005 Dr. Adrian Bowen and his team presented RepRap (Replicating
Rapid
Prototyper), the rst open source 3D printer that could replicate itself. This
has become an
important milestone for self-replicating 3D printers and after that, the
technologies
developed and went further in this industry
WHERE WE USE IT
1. MEDICINE - In the medical industry, 3D printing is used to create individual
implants,
prostheses and models of organs for training and to create bio-printable
tissues and
organs, research cell biology and conduct medical experiments.
2. In these industries, 3D printing is used to manufacture lightweight and
durable parts,
optimize structures and improve production processes.For example, as small
models
of new samples or small parts for the construction of machines.
3. In construction, 3D printing is used to
