3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, builds a product layer by layer using a computer-controlled process. A CAD software program is used to design a 3D model, which is then sent to the 3D printer. The printer deposits material in successive layers, starting from the bottom, to construct the item. Applications of 3D printing include printed soil, emergency accommodations like housing, and cool bricks. 3D printed structures can achieve strengths of up to 10,000 psi, using hollow walls that save on materials while maintaining structural integrity.

5. INTRODUCTION
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a
computer-controlled production technique
that builds a product layer by layer.
It is called additive manufacturing because a
new material is continually added to it when
it wants

6. How 3D Printing Works
A person creates a 3D
image of an item using a
computer-aided design
(CAD) software program.
The CAD information is
sent to the printer.
The printer forms the item
by depositing the material
in layers—starting from
the bottom layer—onto a
platform. In some cases
light or lasers are used to
harden the material.

14. EMERGENCY ACCOMADATION

15. COOL BRICKS

16. STRENGTH & SAFETY OF
STRUCTURE
Normal structure: 3000-6000 psi (pounds per sq
inch)
Printed structure: up to10000 psi
Hollow walls
Does not compromise structural strength
Save materials

17. ADVANTAGES
Recycle concrete, building waste & industrial wastages
are used in stood of using bricks & motor.
By using waste materials like concrete waste etc are
recycled.
The system extrudes a mix of high grade cement &
glass fabric material, layer by layer, similar to traditional
rapid prototyping process gives more strength to this
concrete.

18. DISADVANTAGES
Reduced employee numbers in the industry, since the 3D printer does
most of the work
A limited number of materials can be used, since the same printer might
not be able to print the required multiple materials
Higher risks – any errors in the digital model can result in problematic
issues on site during the printing/construction phase
Conventional product manufacturing companies and plant renting
companies could suffer as their products are no longer required
