  1. 3D METAL PRINTING An Expanding Technology

  2. What is 3d Printing Technology ? 3D Printing Process Process of building solid object of any shape from a digital model. Also known as additive manufacturign process. Successive layers of material are formed under computer control. 3D Metal Maker

  3. History of Printing Machines First Printing Machine Invented by JOHANNES GUTENBERG. He was a German blacksmith, goldsmith, printer and publisher. Gutenberg was the first European to use printing press and movable type in Europe in 1439. First Printing Press Johannes Gutenberg

  4. Additive Manufacturing Method What is additive manufacturing ? Method is use to build 3d objects. It adds layer upon layer of material Additive manufacturing (AM) method is limitless. The AM equipment reads data from CAD sketch. CAD is a Computer Aided Design. Additive manufacturing method Additive manufacturing equipment

  5. 3D Printing How does 3D Printing work? The process starts with making the virtual design of the object to be created. Virtual design are made using CAD. CAD file is made using the 3D scanner. 3D scanner can make 3D digital copy of an object. Working of 3d printing

  6. 3D Printing is done by different methods Different Methods of 3D Printing Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Stereolithography (SLA) Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) Selective Laser Melting (SLM) 3D metal printing objects

  7. What is SLS ? Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) This technique makes use of laser as the source of power to sinter powdered material. Some SLS machines use single component powder. SLS can produce parts from relatively wide range as compared to other AM methods. This technology is increasingly being used in limited run manufacturing to produce end use parts. Selective laser sintering process

  8. What is Stereolithography ? Stereolithography (SLA) It is also known as Optical Fabrication SLA is a additive manufacturing technology. Used for creating model, prototype, patterns etc. It is early and widely used 3d printing technology. Stereolithography

  9. What is FDM 3D Printing? Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) It is most widely used 3D printing method. FDM printers uses thermoplastic filament. The filament is heated to its melting point and then it is extruded. The obove process is done to produce 3 dimentional objects. Fused deposition modelling

  10. What is SLM ? Selective Laser Melting (SLM) This process uses 3D CAD data as a digital information source. It is used in manufacturing appications in aerospace or medical orthpedics. The process starts by slicing the 3D CAD file data into layers. SLM is sometimes also referred to as rapid manufacturng Selective laser melting

  11. 3D printing technology is used in many applications Application of 3D Printing Medical and Dental Aerospace Automotive Jewellery Art, Design and Sculpture Architechture
