4. HISTORY OF PRINTING
1440200 1843 1986
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional
object from a computer-aided design (CAD) model
3D PRINTING
This advanced method produces high quality images by passing a laser beam
back and forth over a negatively charged cylinder within the printer. It then collects
electrically charged powdered ink to transfer the image to the paper.
LASER PRINTING
It worked by using cylinders which the images to be printed were curved
around. This was a lot faster than the older printing press and allowed for
paper to be continuously fed through the press.
ROTARY PRESS
Printing Press, an innovative method that built on techniques such as
Movable Type, but consolidated them into one device that could be
operated by hand.
PRINTING PRESS
is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely
throughout East Asia and originating in China in antiquity as a
method of printing on textiles and later paper.
WOODEN BLOCK PRINTING
1969

5. 3D PRINTING
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a
computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by successively
adding material layer by layer, which is why it is also called
additive manufacturing.
The term "3D printing" covers a variety of
processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer
control to create a three-dimensional object,with material being
added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being
fused together), typically layer by layer.

6. 1984
Chuck Hull of 3D Systems Corporation filed
his own patent for a stereolithography
fabrication system, in which layers are added
by curing photopolymers with ultraviolet light
lasers.
2005
Z corporation launched first
high definition color 3D
printer.
2014
Benjamin S. Cook demonstrate the first multi-
material, vertically integrated printed electronics
additive manufacturing platform which enabled
3D printing of functional electronics operating
up to 40 GHz.
1974
David E. H. Jones laid out the concept of 3D
printing in his regular column Ariadne in the
journal New Scientist.
1993
A company called Solidscape, introducing a
high-precision polymer jet fabrication system
with soluble support structures,
2012
Filabot developed a system for closing the loop[30]
with plastic and allows for any FDM or FFF 3D
printer to be able to print with a wider range of
plastics.
Evolution of 3d printing

8. process
3D printable models may be
created with a computer-aided
design (CAD) package, via a 3D
scanner, or by a plain digital
camera and photogrammetry
software
MODELING
Before printing a 3D model from
an STL file, it must first be
examined for errors. A step in the
STL generation known as "repair"
fixes such problems in the original
model. And its printed using
printers.
PRINTING
Greater accuracy can be achieved
only by printing a slightly oversized
version of the desired object in
standard resolution and then
removing material using a higher-
resolution subtractive process.

16. Portfolio Presentation
Selective layer sintering (SLS) is an additive
manufacturing method that uses a high power
laser as the power source to sinter powdered
material, aiming the laser automatically at points
in space defined by a 3D model, binding the
materials together to create a solid structure

19. ROLE OF
3D PRINTING
• As world manufacturing economy shifts from
mass production of consumer items like shoes or
bicycles to advanced products such as MRI
machines or jet engines, several emerging
technologies - sensors, big data, robotics,
advanced materials, machine learning - are
enabling new levels of precision, productivity
and innovation.
• 3D printing fits perfectly in this new paradigm –
called Industry 4.0 - situated as it is at the
intersection of materials science, robotics, cloud
computing, sensing and imaging, crowdsourcing,
data analytics and other areas.
• 3D printing, like its fabrication predecessors,
has created new manufacturing processes, and it
promises to change not just manufacturing, but
will influence our daily life in one way or other.
• It become one of the important aspect of
INDUSTRY 4.0.

21. AUTOMOBILE AND AVIATION INDUSTRY
• Aircraft equipment made using 3D printers is almost 60 - 65%
lighter than traditional methods and equally strong.
• Urbee is the name of the first car in the world car mounted
using the technology 3D printing (its bodywork and car
windows were "printed").
• In May 2015 Airbus announced that its new Airbus A350 XWB
included over 1000 components manufactured by 3D printing.
• 3D printing is also being utilized by air forces to print spare
parts for planes.
• In 2015, a Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet flew
with printed parts.

22. ARCHITECTURE
• The use of 3D printing to produce scale models within
architecture and construction has steadily increased in
popularity as the cost of 3D printers has reduced.
• This has enabled faster turn around of such scale
models and allowed a steady increase in the speed of
production and the complexity of the objects being
produced.
• Construction 3D printing, the application of 3D printing to
fabricate construction components or entire buildings
has been in development since the mid-1990s,
development of new technologies has steadily gained
pace since 2012 and the sub-sector of 3D printing is
beginning to mature.

23. • 3D printing technology can now be used to make exact
replicas of organs. The printer uses images from
patients' MRI or CT scan images as a template and lays
down layers of rubber or plastic.
• 3D printing has been considered as a method of
implanting stem cells capable of generating new
tissues and organs in living humans. With their ability to
transform into any other kind of cell in the human body,
stem cells offer huge potential in 3D bioprinting.
• On October 24, 2014, a five-year-old girl born without
fully formed fingers on her left hand became the first
child in the UK to have a prosthetic hand made with 3D
printing technology.
• In August 2015 the FDA approved the first 3D printed
tablet. Binder-jetting into a powder bed of the drug
allows very porous tablets to be produced, which
enables high drug doses in a single formulation that
rapidly dissolves and is easily absorbed.

24. FOOD INDUSTRY
Additive manufacturing of
food is being developed by
squeezing out food, layer by
layer, into three-dimensional
objects.
A large variety of foods are
appropriate candidates, such
as chocolate and candy, and
flat foods such as crackers,
pasta,[28] and pizza.[
NASA has considered the versatility of
the concept, awarding a contract to the
Systems and Materials Research
Consultancy to study the feasibility of
printing food in space.[
One of the problems with food printing
is the nature of the texture of a food.
For example, foods that are not strong
enough to be filed are not appropriate
for 3D printing.
A food-tech startup Novameat from
Barcelona 3D-printed a steak from
peas, rice, seaweed, and some
other ingredients that were laid
down criss-cross, imitating the
intracellular proteins.
NASA is also looking into the
technology in order to create 3D
printed food to limit food waste and to
make food that are designed to fit an
astronaut's dietary needs.[

30. IMPACTS
Additive manufacturing, starting
with today's infancy period,
requires manufacturing firms to be
flexible, ever-improving users of all
available technologies to remain
competitive.

Advocates of additive manufacturing
also predict that this arc of
technological development will
counter globalization, as end users
will do much of their own
manufacturing rather than engage in
trade to buy products from other
people and corporations.
