The 3D Printing Transformation
- 1. The 3D Printing Transformation History Materials Technology Overview Additive Manufacturing Advantage Areas of Impact on Society and Industry Simon Lancaster January 17, 2014
- 2. History Chuck Hull, Founder 3D Systems Inventor of 3D Printing 1st 3D Printed Part: eye-wash 1984 - Stereolithography 1984 – Stereolithography (SLA) 1989 – Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 1991 – Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 2001 - First desktop 3D Printer
- 3. Materials Many many kinds of polymers Steel, Aluminum, etc Titanium Chocolate! Multi-colored PLA filaments Sugar, etc! Plastics Metals Foodstuff
- 5. Overview of Techs Type Technologies Materials Extrusion Fused deposition modeling (FDM) Any material that can transition from solid to liquid and back to solid Wire Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication (EBF3) Almost any metal alloy Granular Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) Almost any metal alloy Selective laser melting (SLM) Titanium alloys, Cobalt Chrome alloys, Stainless Steel, Aluminium Selective laser sintering (SLS) Thermoplastics, metal powders, ceramic powders Laminated Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) Paper, metal foil, plastic film Light polymerisation Stereolithography (SLA) curable liquid photopolymerDigital Light Processing (DLP) Inkjet/Polyjet
- 6. So how do all these techs work? Many different types of 3D Printing, but in essence they all “add” material layer by layer. Thus: Additive Manufacturing.
- 7. Subtractive Manufacturing •Material = Free (or Cheap) •Geometry/Shape = $$$ •Lot size dependent •Fast(er) •Design for Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing •Material = $$$ •Geometry/Shape = Free •Lot size independent •Slow (today) 4-10 mm/hr •Manufacturing for Design The Additive Manufacturing Advantage
- 8. The Additive Manufacturing Advantage Subtractive Manufacturing •Material = Free (or Cheap) •Geometry/Complexity = $$$ •Lot size dependent •Fast(er) •Design for Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing •Material = $$$ •Geometry/Complexity = Free •Lot size independent •Slow (today) 4-10 mm/hr •Manufacturing for Design
- 9. 3D Printing at It's Best •Material = $$$ •Geometry/Complexity = Free •Manufacturing for Design →Minimize material: Hollow →Crazy geometry: no problem →No compromises on design Klein Bottle Opener by Bathsheba
- 10. Impact on Society and Industry Rapid Iteration & Prototyping Design Evolution & Optimization Batch-Size One, ex. Bio Medical, spare parts Bio-Mimicry Part Consolidation Art & Jewelry Visualization / Architecture Reverse Engineering
- 11. Impact on Society and Industry Rapid Iteration & Prototyping Design Evolution Batch-Size One, ex. Bio Medical, spare parts Bio-Mimicry Part Consolidation Art & Jewelry Visualization / Architecture Reverse Engineering
- 12. Rapid Iteration & Prototyping Extremely quick turn iterations allow for visualization, testing and feedback
- 13. Design Evolution & Optimization FEA Structural Optimization Software for weight reduction.
- 14. Biomimicry Extremely strong and lightweight structures Bone structures, shell structures, honeycomb, organic trusses, etc
- 15. Part Consolidation Fewer parts = less failure points, less assembly, less cost Extremely complex assemblies reduced to single components
