CHAPTER 3
TASKS PERFORMED
Introduction
Company have provided internship in 3D printing technology which is also called
as the next industrial revolution. This internship helped me in imparting new skills to
myself by learning different software’s. Completed all the tasks and learnings with the
assistance of a trainer.

3.1 First Week

• First day we met with company CEO Mr. Raghavendra Surendra. He took few
hours and explains about the company and it’s working culture.

the trainer explained everything about the machinery how it works.and the
operation related to that machine. Then we started to look in to the processes and
the operations which are carried out.
• Then the next day I was asked to design any material using any designing
software.
• I had designed a helmet using catiav5 software as I had a knowledge about it.
• First the trainer started off with the introductory part and steps involved in the 3D
printing process. Steps involved are mentioned below fig 3.1
• The next day the trainer explained about the processes of 3D printing which is
also called as additive layer manufacturing and its classifications according to
ASTM standard of F2792. The classifications are shown below fig.3.2
• On the last day of the week the trainer explained about the various application of
3D printing. The applications are shown below fig 3.3

3.3 Third Week

• During third week the trainer introduced a new software called Ultimaker cura which
is also called as slicing or layering software.
• This software is used in slicing the component that has to be printed and also at the
end of slicing function the software shows the timing and length of material required
for 3D printing.
• The whole week we learnt about the tools and usage of the software.
• Below mentioned are the pictures of slicing the designed software.

 3D Printing- The Next Industrial Revolution

CONCLUSION
Aakruthi 3D Private Limited is a manufacturing and production company situated
in Shimoga, Karnataka. This industry basically produces many 3D printed products which
are transported to industries like Aerospace, medical sector, fashion and retail,
construction and architecture, automotive etc. This company also imparting "Industrial
Training" to engineering students to enable the building engineers to be productive in
their career. Aakruthi 3D will be the center of many Mechanical Engineering Start-ups &
Incubators. Along with production it also gives the industrial training for the engineering
students with respect to 3D printing that will be very necessary for the students in the
future, with this company students will be industry ready in 3D printing technology.

Aakruthi3D also gives internship opportunity for the engineering students so that
the students can directly acquire the core knowledge of the company. This company will
give the knowledge of software which they are using in their industry and also about the
3D printing which is the main heart of this industry.

This company also similar to the other companies which will face consequences if
the products have any defects or if it is not transported on time. They should do quality
check, testing before packing. Here Ultimaker Cura software plays a very important role
through that software only slicing of specific part has been done and that component is
manufactured using 3dexter machine.

Company is having activities on quality management, customer service and

manufacturing process. Freshers will learn better knowledge from this company it will
give a better carrier for the freshers. That knowledge will help them to get a better-
opportunities in the future.
