What is 3D Printing
- Not simple printing ! It is Three Directional printing proccess.
- 3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. It’s basic and main principle: a digital model is turned into a solid three- dimensional physical object by adding material layer by layer.
- There are various technologies of 3D printing like FDM, SLA-DLP, SLS, DMLS, SLM, Material jet which can print materials like Plastics, Nylon, Gypsum, Ceramic and some metals.
Application
Rapid Prototyping
Manufacturers have long used 3D printers in their design process to create prototypes. Using 3D printers for these purposes is called rapid prototyping.
Rapid Manufacturing
Besides rapid prototyping, 3D printing is also used for rapid manufacturing. Rapid manufacturing is a new method of manufacturing where companies are using 3D printers for short run / small batch custom manufacturing. In this way of manufacturing the printed objects are not prototypes but end user products.
