More About

3D Printing Technologies

As previously stated, there exist several 3D printing techniques, and each one utilizes distinct materials and processes to produce the final product. Here are a few of the frequently utilized 3D printing technologies.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Perhaps the most popular 3D printing method among consumers is fused deposition modeling (FDM), also referred to as fused filament fabrication (FFF). FDM 3D printers operate by heating thermoplastic filaments such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and PLA (Polylactic Acid) and then extruding them through a heated nozzle. The melted filament is then deposited layer by layer on a build platform. FDM 3D printers are suitable for producing basic proof-of-concept models and low-cost prototypes of simple parts.

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography was the first-ever 3D printing technology to be developed and it is still widely used today. This technique creates a final product with the appropriate three-dimensional shape by fusing tiny, powdered particles of various materials such as plastic, metal, ceramic, or glass.
SLA 3D printers use a laser to polymerize liquid resin, turning it into a stiff plastic that forms the shape of the final product layer by layer. The resulting prototypes can achieve high-precision, isotropic, and waterproof qualities, and exhibit delicate features and a beautiful surface finish in a variety of sophisticated materials. As a result, SLA resin 3D printers have become increasingly popular in the industry.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is one of the most widely used additive manufacturing processes, which employs a powerful laser to fuse tiny powdered pieces of plastic, ceramics, metals, or glass into a mass with the appropriate three-dimensional shape. The process uses a powerful laser to heat and fuse small polymer powder particles into a hard mass, with the unfused powder acting as support for the part during printing.

SLS is particularly well-suited for producing intricate geometries, including internal cavities, flimsy walls, and undercuts. This printing method does not require support structures, which makes it a more efficient process. SLS-printed products have exceptional mechanical qualities and can achieve strength comparable to that of injection-molded components.

In MJM, a printer with one or more nozzles is used to coat concrete surfaces with liquid acrylic polymer layers. The printhead follows predefined instructions, generated using a CAD model, to complete the production of each layer. The technique completely eliminates the need for manual labor during support removal.

MJM is capable of producing high-quality 3D printed objects with a comprehensive matte finish, even for delicate features and intricate internal cavities. This technique allows for precise control over the size, shape, and texture of the final product, without causing any harm to the object during production.

DMLS

The process of Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) involves using a powerful laser beam controlled by a computer to melt and fuse layers of metallic powder together in 3D printing. This technology is ideal for producing low-volume products without investing time and money on tooling. DMLS parts can be digitally stored and manufactured on-demand, reducing inventory costs and increasing design options.

The final products produced using DMLS are precise, have superb surface quality, and possess mechanical attributes that are almost comparable to wrought metals. DMLS is one of two powder bed fusion (PBF) methods, with the other being Selective Laser Melting (SLM). Both methods use laser beams to melt a specific pattern of metal powder, constructing complex parts using advanced metal alloys by repeating the process in consecutive levels.

DMLS and SLM are relatively equivalent to one another, with subtle differences in their process. However, they both offer a range of benefits, including the ability to produce intricate designs with high precision, mechanical strength, and surface finish, making them an excellent choice for various applications in the manufacturing industry.

How Does 3D Printing Work?

3D Model Designing

Prior to utilizing a 3D printer for manufacturing an object, a manufacturing company needs to create a digital model using computer software. During the 3D design stage of the additive manufacturing process, object models are typically created using specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software. In the modeling phase, manufacturing companies will review the model file for any errors or inaccuracies. Most CAD programs are capable of detecting mistakes that could impact the final printed output, ensuring that any issues are corrected before printing begins.

Slicing

» Read More

After the 3D design phase is completed, the object model files are converted into 3D printer instructions using slicing software. The software breaks down the object into multiple layers to facilitate the 3D printing process. This process is known as “slicing” because it divides the object into numerous layers, which the printer can then create one by one.

3D Printing

After the 3D designing and slicing of the 3D models is complete, the 3D printers begin the process of creating the 3D objects. The 3D printer follows the instructions generated by the slicing software, moving the nozzle back and forth to deposit the 3D material in a layer-by-layer approach. In this step, modifying the extruders and printing medium can increase the printing accuracy. The printing process can be monitored through the printer’s transparent panel, or it can be observed remotely.

Surface Finishing

The final stage of 3D printing involves giving the printed object its finishing touches. This process, known as “finishing,” entails the use of solvents to create a smooth, polished surface and remove any imperfections on the surface of the 3D-printed piece. Additionally, during this last phase, any supports that were used to hold the product in place during printing will be removed or separated. This marks the completion of the fourth and final cycle of 3D printing.
