    WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?

    • Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is a digital manufacturing process and offers


    virtually limitless opportunities to develop structures/objects by tailoring material
    composition.
    • Processing conditions, and geometry technically at every point in an object.
    • In this review we present two different early adopted, however, widely used, polymer-based
    3D printing processes; fused deposition modelling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS) of
    polymers

    TYPES OF 3D
    PRINTING
    WHY 3D PRINTING?

    • Rapid prototyping of components


    • Positive cash flow
    • Democratize the production of goods
    • Labour cost is saved
    • Any prototype is build in limited time
    POLYMERS
    • Polymers are substances composed of macromolecules, very large molecules with molecular
    weights ranging from few thousand to as high as millions of grams/mole.
    • Examples
    POLYLACTIC ACID
    • Poly lactic acid is also known as poly or polylactide is a thermoplastic polymer.[-CHCO-] n
    • Melting point 150 to 160 degrees
    • It can be prepared by ring- opening polymerization of lactide
    • It can be fabricated by 3d printing , casting, injection moulding, extrusion, machining and
    solvent welding.

    EFFECT OF PRINTING OF
    POLYMERS AT DIFFERENT ANGLES
    • In sub-build orientation, 45 degrees orientations have slightly better properties than the 0 degrees and 90
    degress sub-build orientations in both cases.

    • Build orientation has much less impact on tensile strength when compared to layer thickness

    • Tensile strength increases when the layer thickness increases while the flexuralstrength decreases.

    • The increase in tensile strength as layer thickness increases is due to better connection by polymerization
    of the new layer with the prior layer.
    SOFTWARE REQUIRE FOR
    3D PRINTING
    • Ultimaker qura
    • Solidworks or any CAD software
    • Formlabs software
    • Save the file in .stl format
    DISADVANTAGES OF 3D PRINTING

    • 3D printing is less effective for large building components as it is still time taking process.
    • 3D printing still doesn’t give certain explanation about flexural properties and remaining
    other properties
    • Restricted build size of the machine
    • Post Processing, large volumes printing takes very much time to print
    • Reduction in manufacture jobs
