What is 3D Printing?

It is also known as ‘Additive manufacturing’ is a process of making three dimensional solid object from a digital file or design .The 3D Printing is a technology that can be used to produced prototypes as well as for manufacturing purposes. The 3D design file is like a blueprint for a physical object. Using software, the design file is sliced into many layers and sent to a 3D Printer.The 3D printer then deposits design in the desired material layer upon layer until the object is created.

3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine.

How does 3D Printing work?

The 3D printing process can be divided into the following stages:

3D DIGITAL FILE
3D SLICING
MATERIAL SELECTION
3D PRINT
POST PROCESS

3D Printing process

3D DIGITAL FILE

A 3D digital design or model is the starting point for any 3D printing process. This digital file can be created using any 3D design CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. Alternatively a digital file can be created using 3D scanning.

3D SLICING

Using a software, the digital file is sliced into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers. Once the 3D file has been sliced it is then ready for 3D printing.

MATERIAL SELECTION

3D printing can be done using a wide range of materials such as plastic, paper, sandstone, ceramic, rubber, resin, edibles, metal and many more. The desired material is selected before the actual process of printing.

3D PRINT

Once the digital file is sliced and the material is selected it is uploaded to a 3D printer. The 3D printer pours the material on a print platform layer upon layer. These layers automatically fuse together to form a physical 3D object.

POST PROCESS

Once the object is 3D printed it undergoes finishing touches such as sanding, lacquer, paint work, polishing or other such techniques which are typically done by hand.
