INTRODUCTION
Additive manufacturing tool allows us to create
complex geometries, reduce waste, and customize
designs with ease. It's a game-changer for industries
ranging from aerospace and automotive to
healthcare and fashion. And as we'll see, it has the
potential to transform the way we think about
manufacturing and supply chain management.
What is Additive Manufacturing Tool?
Additive manufacturing tool, also known as
3D printing, is a process of creating three-
dimensional objects by adding material layer
by layer. Unlike traditional manufacturing
methods, which involve subtracting material
from a larger block or casting molten material
into a mold, additive manufacturing tool
builds up a part from scratch using a digital
model.
The Benefits of Additive Manufacturing Tool
Additive manufacturing tool offers numerous benefits over
traditional manufacturing methods.
Binder jetting is another type of additive manufacturing tool that uses a liquid binding agent to bond
layers of powdered material together. This method is often used for creating large-scale objects, such
as architectural models or sand casting moulds. Industries that commonly use binder jetting include
construction, art and design, and foundry operations.
Material extrusion, also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is a popular type of additive manufacturing
tool that uses a heated nozzle to melt and extrude thermoplastic material layer by layer. This method is widely
used in prototyping and small-scale production, and is especially useful for creating custom jigs, fixtures, and
tooling. Industries that commonly use material extrusion include electronics, consumer goods, and education.
Applications of Additive Manufacturing Tool
Additive manufacturing tool has a wide range of
applications across various industries.
