4. Abstract
 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology.
 It is also known as rapid prototyping.
 We can create a complete model in a single process using 3D
printing.
 And nowadays, 3D printing concept of custom manufacturing
is exciting to nearly everyone.
3D Model

5. Introduction To
3D Printing
 3D Printing is a process for making a physical object from a three-
dimensional Digital model, typically by laying down many successive
thin layers of a material.
 It brings a digital object(its CAD representation) into its physical
form by adding layer by layer of material.
 It is also Known as Additive Manufacturing.(Additive process ,where
successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.)

6. History
 The Earliest Record of 3D Printing Through the Additive Process was
The Japanese Inventor Hideo Kodama in 1980.
 He Created a product that used ultraviolet lights to harden polymers
and Create Solid Objects. This is a Stepping Stone to
Lithography(SLA).
 The Technology for Printing Physical 3D Objects from Digital Data
Was First developed by Charles Hull in 1994.
 Charles Hull named the Technique as Stereo Lithography, A process
similar to 3D printing that uses technology to create smaller versions
of objects so they can be tested before spending Time and Money
on creating the actual products.
 In 2005,Z Corp launched a breakthrough product, named Spectrum
Z510,Which was the first high definition color 3D Printer in the
Market.

7. yTypes Of 3D
Scanner
 Photogrammetry is the science and technology of obtaining reliable
information about physical objects and the environment through the
process of recording, measuring and interpreting photographic
images and patterns of electromagnetic radiant imagery and other
phenomena.
 Light Based Scanning -
1. Structured Light Scanner
2. Laser Scanning

10. Working of 3D Printing
The working of 3D Printing are divided into certain steps.
Working Of 3D Printing

11. Step 1 : Design Creation
3D creation of Cylinder

12. Step 2 : STL File Format
Stereolithograpghy File Format

13. Step 3 : Slicing
Slicing Structure Of Star

14. Step 4 : Printing
Printing layer (Pot Creation)

15. Step 5 : Removal/ Finishing
 Through the printer produced resolution is sufficient for many
applications, printing a slightly oversized version of the desire
object in standard resolution and then removing material with a
higher resolution subtractive process can achieve greater
precision.
 Supports are removable or dissolvable upon completion of the
print, and are used to support overhanging feature during
construction.

16. Software required by
3D Printing
To Turn Our ideas into 3D printable files We need some 3D Modeling
Software, Take a look on the Best 3D design and modeling software:-
 Simplify3D
 Slic3r
 Tinker cad
 Sketch UP Free
 Free CAD

17. uu
Advantages of 3D
Printing.
 This production process offers a range of advantages compared to
Traditional Manufacturing Methods. These advantages include
Design, Time, and Cost.
 Flexible Design
 Print on Demand
 Strong and Lightweight Parts.
 Minimizing Waste

18. Limitations
3D Printing Limitations at a Glance:
 Health Hazards
 Eco-Unfriendly
 High Energy Consumption
 Unemployment
 Printers are not large enough

19. Applications
 Medical Procedures
 Advances In Research
 Product Prototyping
 Historic Preservation
 Architectural Engineering
 Food Industry
 Automotive
 Accessories
3D Heart Model
3D Accessories
3D Architecture3D Automotive Design

20. Future Scope
 The scope of 3D printing encompasses objects like aircrafts
components musical Keyboards, interactive posters, human organs
and much more such as 3D printer model of a child’s heart.
 The advancement in the hardware, software material and
application suggests that 3D printing will eventually become yet
another manufacturer technology naturally the adoption rate of
3D printing will increase over time with some segment.

21. Conclusion
 Printing has only been used on small scale project in the construction
industry and there are a lot of challenges that need to be dealt with prior
to considering adopting it as one of the main construction technology.
