HISTORY OF 3D PRINTING 
• The first working 3D printer was 
created in 1984 by Charles Deckard 
Hull of 3D Systems Corp 
• He named the technique as Stereo 
lithography and obtained a patent 
for the technique in 1986. 
•
HISTORY OF 3D PRINTERS 
1984 
Charles (Chuck) Hull developed the first 3D printer and 
named the technique as Stereo lithography. 
Later 1990’s 
Other Companies developed 3d printer’s. 
2005 
Z Corp launched first high definition color 3D printer.
 It is a method of 
converting a virtual 3D 
model into a physical 
object. 
where a 3D object is 
created by laying down 
successive layers of 
material 
Definition:- 
3D + Printing = 3D Printing or “Additive 
Manufacturing”
Working 
 You only need a printer, raw material, and 
software to tell the printer what to print.
STEP 1 (CAD FILE IS CREATED)
STEP 2 
The CAD file is exported to a 3D printing machine.
LAYER BY LAYER
STEP 3-ACTUAL OBJECT
Different methods 
 Selective laser sintering (SLS) 
 Stereo lithography (SL) 
 Fused deposition modeling (FDM)
1 .SLS method 
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that 
uses a high power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse small 
particles of plastic, metal (direct metal laser sintering), ceramic or glass 
powders into a mass that has a desired 3-dimensional shape).
2 .STEREOLITHOGRAPHY 
Stereo lithography is an 
additive manufacturing 
process using a vat of 
liquid UV-curable 
photopolymer ”resin” 
and a UV laser to build 
parts a layer at a time.
3.Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 
Fused deposition 
modeling (FDM) is 
an additive 
manufacturing 
technology 
commonly used for 
modeling, 
prototyping, and 
production 
applications.
Medical

Printing 
Food 
Games & 
Entertainment 
APPLICATIONS 
Fashion & 
Pop-Culture Industries 
Retail 
Defense & 
Space
MEDICAL INDUSTRY 
Physicians can use 3D printing to 
make hearing aids, artificial teeth, and bone 
grafts. 
• 3D printed Jaw 
• 3D printed Ear 
• 3D Printed bone
ARCHITECTURE 
Artists can create models of their projects.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN 
Designers use 3D printers to quickly create product models 
and prototypes.
ADVANTAGES 
 RAPID PROTOTYPING: 3D printing gives designers the ability to quickly 
turn concepts into 3D models or prototypes (rapid prototyping). 
 Clean process.Wastage of material is negligible. 
 Complex shape can be produced . 
 EASY TO USE No skilled person needed. 
 REDUCE DESIGN COMPLEXITY 
 CHEAP Cheaper process than any other process. 
 People in remote locations can fabricate objects that would otherwise be 
inaccessible to them.
DISADVANTAGES 
 Process is slow 
 Components do not have enough strength. 
 COST OF RAW MATERIALS 
 3-D printers are still expensive. 
 Misuse of technology 
 Although 3-D printers have the potential of creating many 
jobs and opportunities, they might also put certain jobs at 
risk . 
(for example, you can make your toys at home so toy stores and 
toy makers might go out of business).
FUTURE 
 With today's 3D printers, if you lose your TV remote's battery cover 
you can print a replacement battery cover. With tomorrow's, if you 
lose your remote, you'll be able to print a new remote. 
 3D printers are always getting cheaper and better. 
 There is currently research going on to create 3D printers that 
could print out organs for people in need of a transplant. 
 Within a decade, 3D printers will become commonplace in houses. 
The benefits of such technology are endless.
