Overview of 3D Printing
“3D printing” or “Additive Manufacturing” takes digital input in the
form of Computer Aided Design (CAD) model and creates solid,
three dimensional parts through an additive, layer by layer
process.
Types of Manufacturing
 Additive Manufacturing
 Subtractive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing could

reduce energy use by 50%
and reduces material costs by
up to 96% compared to
traditional manufacturing.
General Principles
1.Modelling:It takes virtual blueprints modeling
from
software and “slices” them into digital cross-sections for
the machine to successively use as a guideline for
printing.
2.Printing:To perform a print, the machine reads the
design from an .stl file and lays down successive layers
of liquid, powder, paper or sheet material to build the
model from a series of cross section.
3. Finishing
How Does It Work?

The printer forms the

item by depositing the

software program. the printer. cases light or lasers
are used to harden the
material.
Methods of 3D Printing
1.Selective Laser
Sintering(SLS)
2.Stereolithography
3.Fused Deposition
Modeling(FDM)

Stereolithography

FDM
Selective Laser Sintering
It is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a high
power laser( for eg. CO2 laser) to fuse small particles of
plastic, metal, ceramic or glass powders into a mass that
has a desired 3D shape.
Stereolithography
It is an additive manufacturing process that works by
focusing an ultraviolet (UV) laser on to a vat
of photopolymer resin.
Fused deposition modeling
It build parts layer-by-layer from the bottom up by heating and
extruding thermoplastic filament. Used for modelling,
prototyping and production applications.
FDM
3D Printing Materials

Acrylonitrile Butadiene 1.Plastic Filament PLA Polylactic acid or

Styrene (ABS) polylactide (PLA, Poly)

Flexible Plastic (TPE) Nylon

2.Metals

Brass, Bronze, Platinum, Silver and Gold

Steel Aluminum
Applications
1. Concept Modeling :This lets
small design and engineering firms
extend their reach by testing out
more ideas .
2. Functional Prototyping: It helps
in creating amazingly realistic
prototypes with the look and feel
of a real product.
Example:
Lamborghini, while developing its
new flagship model Aventador has
made extensive use of 3D
printing technology to build a
functional prototype of the car.
3.Manufacturing Tools:
Quick, low-volume tooling
and custom fixtures give
manufacturers the flexibility
to embrace more
opportunities. 4.End-User
5.Food
Parts
6.Fashion & Retail
Future Scope
1.Complex Engine parts.
2.On demand parts in Space.
3. Aircraft Wings.
4. 3D Printing as a
Service(3DPaaS)
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages:
 Ability to customize products
 Rapid production of
prototypes.
 No storage cost
 Quick availability of organs.
Disadvantages:
 High cost of production.
 Unchecked production of dangerous
items
 Limitations of size
 Limitations of raw material
 Cost of printers
Conclusion
3D Printing is an expanding technology which may
soon start an industry in which everyone has the
possibility of being a manufacturer.

3D Printing has a lot of possible benefits to society,

although the products created must be regulated.
