What is 3D Printing?

3D printing is the manufacturing process in which material is deployed layer by layer to form the three-dimensional object. The 3D printer employs a variety of materials. The creation of 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making 3D solid objects from a digital file. Additive processes attain the invention of a 3D printed object. In the additive processes, an object is generated by deploying consecutive layers of material until the object is created. Each layer can be seen as a very thin sliced horizontal cross-section of the final objective. It is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing where cutting out/hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with instance a milling machine. 3D printing allows you to produce big(functional) shapes by using less material than traditional manufacturing.

How does the 3D printer work:

Similarly traditional printers, 3D printers use a variety of technologies such as fused deposition modelling (FDM) or welded filament fabrication(FFF) are most commonly used. In this, a filament composed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene(ABS), polylactic acid(PLA), or thermoplastic is melted and deposited with the extrusion nozzle in the layers. At initial the first 3D printers to come to the market was created in the mid-1990s by Stratasys with the help from IBM, by using FDM (it is the term which is trademarked by Stratasys). Another technology which is used in 3D printing is stereolithography, and in it, a UV laser is radiated into a vat of ultraviolet-sensitive photopolymer and tracing the object to be created on its surface. After that, the polymer is cooled and solidifies wherever the beam touches it, and then the beam "prints" the object layer over layer as per the instruction in the CAD or CAM file from where it's working. As a variant, you can also get the digital light projector(DLP) 3D Printing. In this method, the liquid polymer is exposed to light for digital light processing projector. This solidifies the polymer layer by layer until the object is built, and the remaining liquid polymer is removed.

The multi-jet modelling is just like an inkjet 3D printing system which sprays a coloured, with glue like binder over consecutive layers of powder where the object is going to be formed. This method is from one of the fastest ways, and one of them that supports multi colour printing. The SLS (Selective laser sintering) uses a high powered laser to fuse the particles of metal, plastic, glass, or ceramic. At the end of the job, the remaining material is recycled.EBM which stands for Electron beam melting and it is used as an electron beam to melt metal powder layer by layer. Sometimes Titanium is used with EBM to blend medical implants and aircraft plants.

Who Invented 3D Printing?

Charles W. Hull created the first 3D printer in the mid- 1980s by using stereolithography technique. In 1986, Hull found the 3D Systems, the company today sells the 3D printers which employs so many technologies. The technologies range from entry-level kits to specific commercial systems and the 3D systems also provide on-demand services to business organisations and also who are using our services for their commercial purpose.

Benefits of the 3D Printing

  • The 3D printing designers can change the concepts into 3D models or prototypes immediately.

*It allows the manufacturers to produce the products on demand.

*Also, people from remote locations can fabricate objects which were inaccessible to them.

*3D printing provides better quality because the 3D printing allows the step by step assembly of the object which results in better quality of objects.

*It is cost-effective, so you don't need to pay labourers and use of expensive machinery. 3D printing requires as little as one person issuing a print command.
