PRINTING
Printing is a process for reproducing text and images.
DEVICE USED –PRINTER
Types Of Printers Dot matrix Ink Jet Laser Lcd
HISTORY OF PRINTING
In 1953
The first high-speed printer was developed by Remington-Rand .
In 1964
The first dot matrix printer was marketed by IBM.
Later laser (1969) and inkjet printers (1976) came into being.
Now it’s the period of 3D PRINTERS.
3D PRINTING
It is a method of converting a virtual 3D model into a physical object.
Additive Manufacturing Technology where a 3D object is created by laying down successive layers of material
Rapid Prototyping Technology i.e Objects are created using three dimensional files using software CAD and a device called 3D printers.
3D PRINTERS
3D printers allow designers to quickly create prototypes of their designs, rather than just two-dimensional pictures.
HISTORY OF 3D PRINTERS
1984
Charles (Chuck) Hull developed the first 3D printer and named the technique as Stereo lithography.
1993
MIT used 2D Inkjet printing technology to 3d printers ,named it as 3 Dimensional Printing techniques.
1995
Z Corporation obtained an exclusive license from MIT and started to develop 3D printers for the general market.
HISTORY OF 3D PRINTERS
Later 1990’s
Other Companies developed 3d printer’s.
2005
Z Corp launched first high definition color 3D printer.
2006
Cornell University introduced the first open source 3D printer (RERAP).
2010
The first 3D printer was introduced that could produce functional prototype parts.
URBEE
2010
Urbee the first prototype car was presented. This is the first car ever to have its entire body printed out on a giant 3D printer.
It has three wheels, and two seats.
3D CHOCOLATE PRINTER
In Jul, 2011
Led by the University of Exeter, The University of Brunel and application developer Delcam,researchers in UK have presented the world's first
3D chocolate printer.
WORKING
You only need a printer, raw material, and software to tell the printer what to print.
STEP 1 (CAD FILE IS CREATED)
STEP 2
The CAD file is exported to a 3D printing machine.
LAYER BY LAYER
STEP 3-ACTUAL OBJECT
BRIEF TUTORIAL
TYPES OF 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
There are four different processes that are all referred to as “3D printing.
Their main differences are found in the way layers are built to create parts.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) Inkjet
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)Stereo lithography (SL)
APPLICATIONS
AREAS OF APPLICATION OF 3D PRINTERS
Industrial design Automotive and aviation industries Architecture FOOD INDUSTRY Medical Industries Jewelry Footwear Engineering and construction
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Designers use 3D printers to quickly create product models and prototypes.
AUTOMOTIVE AND AVIATION INDUSTRIES
Automotive and aviation industries use 3D printers to make body parts.
ARCHITECTURE
Artists can create models of their projects.
FOOD PREPARATION
In food preparation, to apply items in liquid or paste form such as cheese, icing, and chocolate.
MEDICAL INDUSTRY
Physicians can use 3D printing to make hearing aids, artificial teeth, and bone grafts.
OBJECTS MADE WITH 3D PRINTERS
ADVANTAGES
RAPID PROTOTYPING: 3D printing gives designers the ability to quickly turn concepts into 3D models or prototypes (a.k.a., rapid prototyping).
Clean process. Wastage of material is negligible.
Complex shape can be produced .
EASY TO USE No skilled person needed.
CHEAP Cheaper process than any other process.
Allow more design iterations to choose from.
People in remote locations can fabricate objects that would otherwise be inaccessible to them.
DISADVANTAGES
Process is slow
Components do not have enough strength.
3-D printers are still expensive.
Although 3-D printers have the potential of creating many jobs and opportunities, they might also put certain jobs at risk .
(for example, you can make your toys at home so toy stores and toy makers might go out of business).
FUTURE
With today's 3D printers, if you lose your TV remote's battery cover you can print a replacement battery cover. With tomorrow's, if you lose your remote, you'll be able to print a new remote.
3D printers are always getting cheaper and better.
There is currently research going on to create 3D printers that could print out organs for people in need of a transplant.
Within a decade, 3D printers will become commonplace in houses.
The benefits of such technology are endless.
