What’s 3D printing?
-3D printing or additive manufacturing is
a process of making three dimensional solid
objects from a digital file.

Examples of CAD Software
AutoCAD, 3ds Max, and Maya — commercial CAD software titles published by
Autodesk.
Blender — an open-source CAD, animation, and image processing application with an
active community of users.
SketchUp — a proprietary CAD application that runs in a web browser, formerly
developed by Google.
Tinkercad - Tinkercad is a free, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web
browser, known for its simplicity and ease of use. Since it became available in 2011 it
has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-
level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.

After you’re happy with your design to
convert it to a gcode file you will need to
export it to a stl file.
The STL (Standard Triangle Language)
is the industry standard file type for 3D
Printing. All modern CAD (Computer
Aided Design) software allow you to
export their native file format into STL.
The 3D model is then converted into
machine language (G-code) through a
process called “slicing”

The seven different types of 3D printers
•Fused deposition modeling (FDM)
•Stereolithography(SLA)
•Digital Light Processing(DLP)
•Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
•Selective laser melting (SLM)
•Laminated object manufacturing (LOM)
•Digital Beam Melting (EBM)
Sometimes called Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a 3D printing
technology that uses a process called Material Extrusion. Material Extrusion
devices are the most widely available - and inexpensive - of the types of 3D
printing technology in the world today.
FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM)

3D Pen
VINCENT GOH 20 MAY 2020
fb.me/vincenzolabs.my info@vincenzolabs.my
Similarily, a 3D pen is a pen that prints in 3 dimensions by melting a
plastic filament that is push through a heating chamber where it is melted,
work just like the simple glue gun.
Some 3D pen can support different type
of filaments with the option to choose the temperature setting; cause depend
on the materials of the filament the melting point also varies, for example
PCL you need about 60°C and PLA you need 190°C - 205°C

Editor's Notes

  1. So what’s 3D printing or also known as additive manufacturing? It’s a way of making things, it’s a form of digital fabrication. Which is using a computer control tools to make a physical object. Consider it in a inkjet printer, it’s a computer control tool working on 2 dimension, it has a ink in cartridge moving back and forth deposition ink and the second mechanism that feeds the paper. With these two movement combine we can get a 2 dimensional image
  2. A 3D printer just add one more dimension and instead of ink it print of a physical substance like a plastic. It print one layer at a time creating a 3D object. It’s a little more complicated than that but that’s the general idea.
  3. CAD mean Computer Aid Design and it refers to a wide variety of computer applications for user to create content. In today sharing we will be talking more about Tinkercad - a online 3D modelling program that runs in a web browser. It’s very easy to use and one of a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to geometry in schools
  4. They work by a process where a spool of filament of solid thermoplastic material (PLA, ABS, PET) is loaded into the 3D printer. It is then pushed by a motor through a heated nozzle, where it melts. The printer’s extrusion head then moves along specific coordinates, depositing the 3D printing material on a build platform where the printer filament cools and solidifies, forming a solid object.
