    3D Printing

    Uploaded by

    KAMAL
    3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates 3D objects by laying down successive layers of material. There are several methods for 3D printing including fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), and stereolithography (SLA). 3D printing has applications in prototyping, manufacturing, arts, entertainment, medicine, food, and personal use. Common file formats for 3D models include STL and 3MF. While 3D printing provides many opportunities, challenges remain in printing objects with true color and smooth surfaces.

    How does it work?

    • Additive: one layer at a time


    • Common methods for producing layers:
    FDM, SLS, SLA
    • FDM: fused deposition modeling
    • SLS: selective laser sintering
    • SLA: stereolithography

    • Selective laser sintering (SLS)


    • Developed in 1980s at UT Austin
    • Pattern expired 2014
    • Materials: metals, polymers, nylon
    • In powder form.
    • Un-melted powder becomes supporting
    material.
