What is 3D printing?
  • 3D printing also known as additive manufacturing
    is a process of making three dimensional solid
    objects from a digital file typically by laying
    down many successive thin layers of a material.
  • Successive layers of material are formed
    under computer control to create an
    object. Objects can be of almost any shape or
    geometry and are produced from digital model
    data 3D model or another electronic data source.

How does 3D printing work?
  • The 3D printing process turns a whole object into
    thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it
    from the bottom-up, slice by slice.
  • Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid
    object. Each layer can be very complex,
    meaning 3D printers can create moving parts like
    hinges and wheels as part of the same object.

How to learn 3D Printing
  • When jumping into the world of 3D printing, its
    a good idea to assemble a kit yourself to get a
    basic idea of how they are built and how 3D
    printers function.
  • While following the instructions and putting the
    parts together youll gradually learn all the
    terms and vocabulary associated with 3D printing
    which will make it easier to solve problems in a
    later stage.

5
Processes and technologies
  • Not all 3D printers use the same technology.
    There are several ways to print and all those
    available are additive, differing mainly in the
    way layers are build to create the final object.
  • Some methods use melting or softening material to
    produce the layers. Selective laser sintering
    (SLS) and fused deposition modelling (FDM) are
    the most common technologies using this way of 3D
    printing. 
  • Another method is when we talk about curing a
    photo-reactive resin with a UV laser or another
    similar power source one layer at a time. The
    most common technology using this method is
    called stereo lithography (SLA).

6
Examples applications of 3D printing
  • Applications include rapid prototyping,
    architectural scale models Marquette, and
    entertainment.
  • Examples of 3D printing would include
    reconstructing fossils in palaeontology,
    replicating ancient artefacts in archaeology,
    reconstructing bones and body parts in forensic
    pathology and reconstructing heavily damaged
    evidence acquired from crime scene investigations.

Future 3D printing
  • 3D printers capable of outputting in colour and
    multiple materials already exist and will
    continue to improve to a point where functional
    products will be able to be output.
  • With effects on energy use, waste reduction,
    customization, product availability, medicine,
    art, construction and sciences, 3D printing will
    change the manufacturing world as we know it.
