Title: 3d metal printing
13D METAL PRINTING
23D Printing Process
What is 3d Printing Technology ?
- 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.

History of Printing Machines
- 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.

4What is additive manufacturing ?
Additive Manufacturing Method
- 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.

5How does 3D Printing work?
3D Printing
- 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
63D 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)

7What 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.

8What 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
9What 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
10What 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
