The document provides an overview of the evolution of 3D printing. It discusses the history of 3D printing technologies from 1987 to present day. Key developments include the invention of stereolithography in 1987, commercialization of fused deposition modeling (FDM) in 1991, and the expansion of available materials like plastics, metals, and food items in recent years. The document also outlines several applications of 3D printing in fields such as aerospace, prosthetics, footwear, jewelry, and construction.
3D printing uses molten deposition modeling to extrude plastic layer by layer based on a 3D design file. 3D designs can be created using computer-assisted modeling software or 3D scanners, and involve shaping geometric data similarly to sculpting. While early 3D printers were large, expensive and limited, additive processes have advanced to include industrial applications as well as domestic, hobbyist, fashion, eyewear, bio-printing and medical implant uses.
Specifically we explore synergies, partnerships and win – win relationships within the 3D Printing industry. The 3D community has been somewhat closed off to the public.
Many people have heard of 3D Printing in the news but very few outside 3D Printing understand what it is and how it will impact our future.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, was invented in 1984 by Charles Hull and involves converting virtual 3D models into physical objects using raw materials and 3D printer software. 3D printing is used across many industries like industrial design, automotive, aviation, architecture, food, and medicine to quickly create prototypes, customized products, and other applications. While 3D printing provides benefits like complex shapes, cheap prototyping, and customization, it also faces limitations such as being a slow process, low strength parts, and high costs of printers and materials.

The document provides a summary of the history of 3D printing:
- 3D printing originated in the 1980s and was originally called Rapid Prototyping as it provided a faster way to create prototypes.
- The first 3D printing patent was issued in 1986 to Charles Hull for stereolithography. Hull co-founded 3D Systems, a major company in 3D printing.
- In the late 1980s and early 1990s, other major 3D printing technologies and companies were established, including selective laser sintering, fused deposition modeling, and laser sintering.
- Since then, 3D printing has advanced and become more accessible, with applications expanding beyond prototyping into various industrial and
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process where three dimensional objects are created by laying down successive layers of material under computer control. A 3D printer is a device used to create these 3D objects. 3D printing is used across many industries like industrial design, architecture, automotive, aerospace, dental and medical as it allows for quick creation of physical models and prototypes.
Design and Manufacturing of Sprocket using Additive Manufacturing Technologyijtsrd
Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, has the potential to vastly accelerate innovation, compress supply chains, minimize materials and energy usage, and reduce waste. Originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1993, 3D printing technology forms the basis of Z Corporation's prototyping process. 3DP technology creates 3D physical prototypes by solidifying layers of deposited powder using a liquid binder. By definition 3DP is an extremely versatile and rapid process accommodating geometry of varying complexity in hundreds of different applications, and supporting many types of materials. Z Corp. pioneered the commercial use of 3DP technology, developing 3D printers that leading manufacturers use to produce early concept models and product prototypes. Utilizing 3DP technology, Z Corp. has developed 3D printers that operate at unprecedented speeds, extremely low costs, and within a broad range of applications. This paper describes the core technology and its related applications. Additive manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing, is a new way of making products and components from a digital model. Like an office printer that puts 2D digital files on a piece of paper, a 3D printer creates components by depositing thin layers of material one after another, only where required, using a digital blueprint until the exact component has been created. Interest in additive techniques is growing swiftly as applications have progressed from rapid prototyping to the production of end use products. Additive equipment can now use metals, polymers, composites, or other powders to print' a range of functional components, layer by layer, including complex structures that cannot be manufactured by other means. By eliminating production steps and using substantially less material, -additive' processes could be able to reduce waste and save more than 50 of energy compared to today's -subtractive' manufacturing processes, and reduce material costs by up to 90 . The use of additive manufacturing can potentially benefit a wide range of industries including defence, aerospace, automotive, biomedical, consumer products, and metals manufacturing. In this project, parametric model is done in Catia V5R20 and 3D printing is done in Cura software. B. Raghu | G. Sai Hitheswar Reddy | D. Rishikesh | K.

4. A 3-Dimensional
Future
Editor’s Desk
he Manufacturing Industry forms the backbone of an
Teconomy, serving almost every other sector. From
feeble toothbrushes and coffee mugs to high-end
computers and spacecrafts, all owe their origin to one or more
manufacturing units. And with time, the ways of
manufacturing changed and so did the materials being used in
manufacturing. From wood to metal to plastics and more.
And with everything going digital, how could the
manufacturing industry be behind. So 3D printing and
manufacturing came to the fore to give shape to our digital
ideas. 3D printing started way back in 1984 when Charles
Hull invented stereo-lithography. But all the patents
surrounding it ensured that the technology had limited
accessibility. Even after the technology came to light, it was
mostly used for industrial and niche manufacturing purposes
only. But the new century has brought the technology closer
to consumers with growing access to printing devices and 3D
printed items, especially for home decor.
Since the technology gained a world wide acceptance, it has
been absorbed in multiple industries like art and fashion,
architecture, automotive, aerospace and more. The biggest
benefit 3D printing brought with it across the industries was
prototyping. A new material, part, or an art or design, after
being visualized on paper or computer, could be realized only
after the first batch was manufactured.
Imagine manufacturing a complete concept car just to see if it
will actually work. With 3D printing, a prototype car could be
manufactured and tested at much lower costs. The medical
field is now using 3D printing to create custom organs for
those in need of transplantation. Architects are now finding it
easier to show dream homes to their potential clients.

3D printing plays a vital role in training the doctors-to-be
and preparing them for actual operations. As far as 2D
images are concerned, they provide very less visual

D printing has been shaping its identity across
the manufacturing sector ‘layer-by-layer’. From
being used in industrial setups to being used in
DIY educational activities, 3D printing has come a long
way. What has made it useful for such diversified
industries is the wide range of material and
technologies that can be used to create 3D objects.
Technologies for the Purpose
While the core method of creating 3D objects remains
the same, i.e. adding layer-on-layer of material to form
the required shape, the technologies differ based on
the form of material used, to temperatures required,
light source and more. Here are a few popular
technologies:
SLA or Stereolithography was the first technology used to
introduce 3D printing to the world. It uses
liquid plastic as its source material. It also uses an
UltraViolet laser to trace a pattern on the liquid resin,
to cure and solidify the layers of the resin.
FDM or Fused Deposition Modeling is used to build
objects with production-grade thermoplastics. A
Thermoplastic filament is heated to its melting point
and then extruded to form the 3D object.
SLS or Selective Laser Sintering: Each layer of powdered
material is laser sintered as per a fixed pattern to build
the object. The powdered material left out of sintering
can be used to provide the support structure and can
also be removed after the object is formed for re-use.
LOM or Laminated Object Manufacturing is a rapid
prototyping system in which layers of material coated
with adhesive are fused using heat and pressure and
then cut into required shape. This process gives the
freedom of choosing the material for layers. This is also
recognized as a fast and inexpensive method.
Holding Shape
From plastic to metal, there’s no dearth of material that
can be used as the filament that finally shapes a 3D
object. The usage of the final object determines what
kind of material is to be used in the first place. As such
qualities like durability, strength, non-toxicity etc
determine which material will be used as the filament.
These qualities determine the final look, feel, colour
and usage of the final product that is being printed.
While there's a wide range of material to choose from,
they are broadly categorized as Plastics, Metals and
Composites. Plastic are the most widely used ones while
metals are mostly used for industrial products and
Composites are made of more than one material to
combine two required properties in one filament.
Here’s what one can get as options in:
Plastics
ABS or Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a common
thermoplastic polymer commonly used due to its low
cost and resistance to high temperature. It is light in
weight and comes in multiple colours.
Nylon or Polyamide or White Plastic as it is popularly
known as finds high application due to its flexibility and
strength. They can be easily polished to give a smooth
and clean finish to the 3D objects.
PICKING THE SUITABLE
MATERIAL3D3D

45. PEEK or Polyether Ether Ketone is a colourless organic
thermoplastic that is resistant to stress, temperature,
chemicals and can be exposed to X-ray and gamma
radiation as well. The material is apt for designing high-
performance parts, is easy to fabricate and hence
mostly utilized in automotive, chemical aerospace and
medical industries.
PET or polyethene terephthalate is a commonly used
plastic that is food-grade and hence utilized for
common consumer goods. It is strong and flexible and
gives a glossy finish to the 3D object.
Metals
Aluminum is light, versatile, and resistant to mechanical
and thermal stress. These qualities make it appropriate
for low-cost prototypes and functional models.
Stainless Steel has become a part of daily life and 3D
printing has made it all the more indispensable. It is one
of the most affordable and strong material with
amazing elasticity and magnetic properties. It can also
be mixed with other materials and also given a new
colour or look.
Precious Metals have limited usage but are nonetheless
great to work with. They mostly find their usage in
jewelry, medical and electronics industry.
Composites
Metal/Plastic Filament are plastic filaments mixed with a
certain amount of metal. The most popular metals to be
mixed are bronze, copper and iron. With some post-
processing, these plastic filaments give a metallic look
to the finished 3D objects.
Wood is the oldest known material that has been
shaped into numerous forms to give shape to human
fantasy. Here wood particles are mixed with plastic
filaments to design and print objects that look and feel
woody. Of course, they are not as strong as real wood,
but they do serve their purpose of giving a woody
texture, colours, and aesthetics.
Alumide is nylon with a hint of aluminium. This mix gives
a certain shine and porous finish to the3D objects and
also makes them durable and tough.
Other than the above-mentioned material, one can also
