Presentation Transcript

  1. What is 3D printing? • 3D printing also known as additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material. • Successive layers of material are formed under computer control to create an object. Objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced from digital model data 3D model or another electronic data source.

  2. How does 3D printing work? • The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. • Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object. Each layer can be very complex, meaning 3D printers can create moving parts like hinges and wheels as part of the same object.

  3. How to learn 3D Printing • When jumping into the world of 3D printing, it’s a good idea to assemble a kit yourself to get a basic idea of how they are built and how 3D printers function. • While following the instructions and putting the parts together you’ll gradually learn all the terms and vocabulary associated with 3D printing which will make it easier to solve problems in a later stage.

  4. Processes and technologies • Not all 3D printers use the same technology. There are several ways to print and all those available are additive, differing mainly in the way layers are build to create the final object. • Some methods use melting or softening material to produce the layers. Selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) are the most common technologies using this way of 3D printing.  • Another method is when we talk about curing a photo-reactive resin with a UV laser or another similar power source one layer at a time. The most common technology using this method is called stereo lithography (SLA).

  5. Examples & applications of 3D printing • Applications include rapid prototyping, architectural scale models & Marquette, and entertainment. • Examples of 3D printing would include reconstructing fossils in palaeontology, replicating ancient artefacts in archaeology, reconstructing bones and body parts in forensic pathology and reconstructing heavily damaged evidence acquired from crime scene investigations.

  6. Future 3D printing • 3D printers capable of outputting in colour and multiple materials already exist and will continue to improve to a point where functional products will be able to be output. • With effects on energy use, waste reduction, customization, product availability, medicine, art, construction and sciences, 3D printing will change the manufacturing world as we know it.
