3D Printing: A Game Changer in Manufacturing Industry
Due to the design freedom in 3D Printing, it can act as a game changer in design and fabrication tasks.
WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?
The process of 3D printing starts with the basic concept of computer aided designing (CAD), where the CAD model based on the desired geometry is created. After that CAD model is transferred to a slicer that can slice the 3D object into number of layers. After that each slice that has XY planner information built layer by layer.
TRANFORMATIVE ROLE OF 3D PRINTING
Initially 3D Printing technology was used for the rapid prototyping purpose, because the materials were low grade polymeric materials and tolerance was loose as well. With the progress in the 3D Printing technology, more functional and high performance materials such as thermosetting plastics, ceramics, composites and metals and alloys can be printed with very close tolerances. As as result now 3D printing or additive manufacturing can take the transformative role to revolutionize demanding industries such as aerospace, biomedical, sports, and oil and gas etc.
