3D Printing-The next industrial revolution
1.
2. • Introduction
• History of 3D Printing
• How 3D Printing Works
• Applications
• Advantages of 3D Printing.
• Disadvantages of 3D Printing.
• Areas Of Future Development
• Conclusion
3. • Process of creating an object using a printer that puts down
material layer by layer in 3D until the desired object is formed.
• It is also known as:
1. Rapid prototyping 2. Additive manufacturing
4. • Charles Hull - Father of 3D System.
– In 1984, he named the technique as “Stereo Lithography”.
– In 1986, Obtained a patent for this technique.
• In 1993, MIT patented another technology, named “3D
Printing Technique”.
• In 1996, three major products, were introduced.
– "Genisys" from Stratasys
– "Actua 2100" from 3D Systems and
– "Z402" from Z Corporation.
• In 2005, Z Corp. launched a breakthrough product, named
Spectrum Z510, which was the first high definition color 3D Printer
in the market.
5. • Laser source: Sends a laser beam to solidify the material.
• Elevator: Raises and lowers the platform to help lay the
layers.
• Vat: Contains the material used to create the 3D object.
• Materials: Plastic, resin, titanium, polymers and even gold
and silver.

8. • Affordable customization
• Allows manufacture of more efficient designs
– Lighter, Stronger, Less assembly required
• One machine, unlimited product lines
• Saves time and cost
• Very small objects (nano)
• Efficient use of raw materials (less waste)
• Pay by weight — complexity is free
• Batches of one, created on demand
• Manufacturing accessible to all — lower entry barriers
• New supply chain and retail opportunities
9. • Criminals can use 3D Printers to create illegal products.
• Can Creates Unemployment.
• Counterfeiting can be done easily.
10. • Printing large volumes economically
• Expanding the range of printable materials
• Reducing the cost of printable materials
• Using multiple materials in the same printer, including those
for printing electronics
• Printing very large objects
• Improving durability and quality
11. Relatively New Technology.
No restrictions on industry.
Significant decrease in product development
cycle and costs.
Full effects on business and society still not
know.
Resistance to change.
