EML 2023 Rapid Prototyping
Selective laser sintering (SLS) • additive technique • layer of powder placed on base • high power laser used to fuseselected parts of the powder • the powder bed is lowered asmall amount and a new layer of powder is spread • does not require any support structures
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) • additive technique • material is laid down in layers • plastic material is melted ina nozzle that moves in XYdirection • typically uses ABS plastic • support material is required stratasys
Stereolithography (SLA) • additive process • uses a vat of liquid UV-curableresin and a UV laser • exposure to the laser causesthe material to harden • after a pattern has been traced,the platform descends and aresin filled blade recoats the top • requires support structures
Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) • sheet is adhered to substratewith a heated roller • laser traces out the outlineof the layer • non-part areas are cross-hatched to facilitate removalof waste material • next layer is pulled across and the process is repeated
Electron beam melting (EBM) • metal parts are made from a metal powder • a layer of powder is spread and the part region is melted together by a computer controlled electron beam
3D printing (3DP) • “inkjet” type process • a fine powder of plaster or corn starch is bonded by “printing” an adhesive from the printhead • considered the fastest technique zcorp
