Introduction
Printing is a process of reproducing text and
images ,typically with ink on paper using a
print press.
2 Dimensional printing is a subtractive
process.
But 3 Dimensional printing is a process of
additive manufacturing.
History
The technology for printing physical 3D objects
from digital data was first developed by Charles
Hull in 1984. . He named the technique as Stereo
lithography and obtained a patent for the
technique in 1986.
While Stereo lithography systems had become
popular by the end of 1980s, other similar
technologies such as Fused Deposition Modeling
(FDM) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) were
introduced.

WORKFLOW
Pre Process
PREPROCESS
Physical models of objects are either designed
with a CAD program or scanned with a 3D
Scanner.
Most 3D printers require a special file
(typically .stl format) to print.
Additionally, we need to modify the design to
make up for limitations of the printer and
build material

PROCESS(3D PRINTING)
Either of these 4 methods are chosen
1) Stereo lithography
2) Fused deposition modeling
3) Selective laser sintering (SLS)
4) Multi-jet modeling (MJM)
The 3D printer runs automatically, depositing
materials at layers ~.003 thick
The average cost for printing a full colour
prototype is somewhere between 50 - 100 $.

Post process
Powder Removal
The sculpture with most of the support dust
removed and it is then dipped in special glue that
makes them stronger and more colorful
Heating
The models are heated to set the glue.
Finishing Touches:
The output of all existing 3D printers is rough. The
textures vary from pronounced wood grain to
merely sandy, With a little elbow grease you
can get stunning results.

METHODS
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY
Apparatus consists of four main parts: a tank that
can be filled with liquid plastic (photopolymer), a
perforated platform that is lowered into the tank, an
ultraviolet (UV) laser and a computer controlling the
platform and the laser.
A UV laser beam then traces the first slice of an
object on the surface of this liquid, causing a very
thin layer of photopolymer to harden.

MULTI-JET MODELING
MJP print head prints layers of UV curable liquid
plastic onto a flat platform which contains a binder
solution that glues only the required granules
together.
Wax supported material is also jetted to fill voids .
UV lamps flashes to solidify material creating a fully
cured plastic part.
Melt away support wax allows for easy,handsfree
finishing.

CONCLUSION
Nothing communicates ideas faster than a threedimensional part or model. With a 3D printer
you can bring CAD files and design ideas to life
right from your desktop.
In an age in which the news, books, music, video
and even our communities are all the subjects of
digital dematerialization, the development and
application of 3D printing reminds us that human
beings have both a physical and a psychological
need to keep at least one foot in the real world.
