#3D PRINTING
What is 3d printing?
■ Is the process used to create a three-dimensional object from digital file.
■ Every layer of material is formed under computer control, to create an object.
Objects can be of any shape or geometry
■ Also known as additive manufacturing (AM)

3d Printing Technologies
■ SLA (Sterolithography)
■ FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
■ SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Most Used Technologies
The most popular technology continues to be FDM with 68% market share, it’s still the most
affordable way to get the first prototype in your hands
Top Print Cities
SLA Stereolithography
■ UV light used to “cure” (harden) photosensitive resins or “photopolymers.”
`
SLA Stereolithography
SLS Selective Laser Sintering
■ A bed powder are selectively fused together by a laser. Various materials; metal
alloys, metal powders, thermoplastics, ceramic powders
SLS Selective Laser Sintering
FDM Fused Deposition Modeling
■ Melted plastic filament pushed through a nozzle or “extruder.” Common plastics are
ABS and PLA
Fused Deposition Modeling

■ Belts
■ Heated bead
■ Corners, screws, nuts
■ Control Board
■ Screen
■ Hot end
■ Power supply
■ End stops
■ Cooling fun
■ Stepper motors
■ Cables
Typologies of FDM 3d printers
■ Cartesian
– Prusa i3
– Corexy
■ Delta
■ Polar
■ Robotic Arms
Extruder types
■ Direct
– is an extruder where the hot and cold end are attached directly to one another
– 3D print head is large and heavy
– Better responsiveness
■ Bowden
– The extruder simply moves the cold end mounted directly to the frame
– More precise positioning (less moment of inertia)
– Can’t print flex materials
– Faster movement
Linear bearings & guides
■ linear bearing
■ V slot wheels
Control Board & Screen
■ 32bit or 16bit
Hot end

Slice an stl model for 3d Printing
with simplify3d
First screen
Compatible with hundreds of 3d printers
Configuration
■ Auto-Configure for Material:
– Adjusts temperature
– Extrusion
– Cooling
– settings based on the material
■ Auto-Configure for Print Quality:
– Adjusts layer height
– infill density
Extruder tub
■ Extrusion Multiplier: The
extrusion multiplier will multiply
the amount of filament extruded
for your entire print. The default
values in the software are .90 for
PLA and 1.0 for ABS
■ Retraction Distance: How much
filament will be retracted when
the software does a retract. For
standard Direct Drive, usually .5
to 2.5 mm will work well. For
Bowden extruders, 5 to 8.5 mm
seems to work well
Layers tab
■ Primary Layer Height: How thick you want
each layer to be on the Z-axis
■ Top Solid Layers: The number of 100%
infill layers that will be placed at the top of
your part.
■ Bottom Solid Layers: The number of
100% infill layers that will be placed at the
bottom of your part.
■ Outline/Perimeter Shells: Outline shells
will trace the outline of your part, and
extrude at your extrusion thickness.
Additions tab
■ Skirts are really useful for
priming your extruder prior to
printing. Generally print with a
skirt offset of 4 mm and 2
outlines.
■ Changing the offset to 0 mm,
offers the ability to create a
"brim" that will connect to your
part and help create surface
adhesion.
Infill tab
■ Infill Percentage: Adjusts the
interior solidity of your 3D print.
0% is completely
hollow and 100% is completely
solid. A value in the range of 20-
50% is frequently used.
Support tub
■ Support structures
are used when your model has steep
overhangs or unsupported areas.
Typically, overhangs greater than 45º
Support tub
Temperature tab
■ Per-Layer Temperature
Controls: You can edit the
temperature on a per layer
basis.
■ For ABS
■ For PLA
- Layer 1 | Fan off
- Layer 2 | Fan On 60%
Cooling tab
■ Per-Layer Fan Controls: You
can edit the fan speed on a per
layer basis. This is very similar
to how the temperature tab
works.
G-Code & Script tabs
Others tab
■ Default Printing Speed: This is
the speed at which the Infill of
your part will be printed.
■ Outline Underspeed: For your
perimeters, you print at a
(80)% of your Default Printing
Speed.
Advanced tab
Prepare to Print
■ After you have finalized your Process settings, click Prepare to Print! This will initiate two
important functions: Simplify3D will “slice” your model and transition to the review Mode.
■ “Slicing” is the term used to describe the process of converting a digital model into line-by-
line printer instructions called G-Code. The lightening-fast slicer in Simplify3D quickly
prepares G-Code based on the variables you selected in the FFF Settings window
■ The animated Preview Mode allows you to inspect all aspects of
your print operation prior to execution. The software reads the G-Code and displays line-by-
line
or layer-by-layer how your model will be constructed
Simulation
Test models
■ Dimensional Accuracy
■ Bridging Performance
■ Overhang Performance
■ Negative Space Tolerance
■ Fine Positive Features Performance

■ And the answers is below
■ https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/
Print Quality Troubleshooting Guide
■ Print Not Sticking to the Bed
– Build platform is not level
– Nozzle starts too far away from the bed
– First layer is printing too fast
– Temperature or cooling settings
– The build platform surface (tape, glues, and materials)
– When all else fails: Brims and Rafts
Print Quality Troubleshooting Guide
■ Holes and Gaps in the Top Layers
– Not enough top solid layers
– Infill percentage is too low
– Under-Extrusion
■ Layer Separation and Splitting
– Layer height is too large
– Print temperature is too low
Print Quality Troubleshooting Guide
■ Stringing or Oozing
– Retraction distance
– Retraction speed
– Temperature is too high
– Long movements over open spaces
– Movement Speed
