dimensional objects
- Parts usually need to be supported from below
Principle
Advantages of 3D Printing – Freedom of design – complexity is free
Form optimization, pre-assembly, easy customization..
– No need for tooling No cost from design changes & cheap small volume prod.
– No need for inventory
On-demand manufacturing, minimal investment,
– Fast lead times & responsiveness Quick alteration in design to respond to customer needs
– Localized manufacturing Manufacturing where needed, savings in logistics
– Wide material range – seamless transitions
Innovation potential with new opportunities
– Affordable low volume production Price per piece constant regardless of production size
Uses: Rapid Prototyping
of 3D printing
- Fast testing of form, fit, function,
ergonomics..
prototypes provide early feedback
charging station for a
products
- Result of process and material
development & media hype
- Medical: Personalized solutions
- Aerospace: Weight optimization
high-end products
adoption
Customized parts in MINI cars
Uses: Rapid Tooling
- Masters for sand & silicon casting
- Lost wax casting
- Fixtures for drilling
- Takes advantage of low investment cost, fast
process, and AM introduced benefits such as
contouring cooling channels in injection molds
Masters for silicone casting
3D Print
Cores for Glass/Carbon-fiber parts
Freedom of design
– Minimize part count while optimizing topology
– Pre-built assemblies – minimize labor time & QC
– Customization without additional cost – Every part
can be different from the others, even in same batch
Design for AM – Case: bottle opener
Design for AM –
Case: F-18 cooling air system
– Complete re-design for functionality & weight
– This unit: part reduction from 16 to 1
– Improved air flow
– No assembly required
– No tooling required
– Spare parts on demand and on location
Case: Align / Invisialign tooth retainers
Case: Invisialign tooth retainers
– Innovative example of utilizing customizability
– RP machines & processes modified for excessive use
Other medical uses

Role of 3D printing in the future
– Disruptive potential in manufacturing – happening already 3DP can change product design and manufacturing approaches drastically. Materials and processes are developed more for end-use
production.
– Supply chain renewal – future possibility Away from traditional towards more centralized, on-demand, rapid manufacturing.
– Flourishing innovation around AM New applications, AM techniques, & businesses emerge on daily basis
– Will every home have a 3D Printer and traditional manufacturing will end? No – Perhaps for occasional use in hobbies or garage-tinkering
Hands-on Workshop:
dimensional objects
- Parts usually need to be supported from below
Categories of 3D printing
•Thermoplastic is extruded to ‘draw’ a layer at a time
• Build platform lowers with the part and process
repeats
commonly used in lower end printers
•Materials:
•ABS
•PLA
•Polycarbonate
•Nylon
•Manufacturers:
Extrusion lines visible
Open Source, community driven, self REPlicating RAPid prototyper
- Founded 2005 by Andrew Bowyer, University of Bath, UK
- First RepRap 3D printer to print parts for itself, 2006
- Reprap inspires Makerbot, first commercial hobby printer, 2009
- Stratasys and 3DSystems both hit consumer market also
- 2016: hundreds of different “consumer 3D printers” available
- Most still hobbyist and DIY maker targeted
as they fail to meet user’s expectations
Not all 3D printers are the same
~200€ ~900,000€

3D files to print
1. CAD software – Create models yourself
2. 3D scan an existing object– Modify or replicate as is
3. Download existing files – Free and commercial sites available

Features: •Overhangs

Slicers – Software that link 3D file with printers movement
- Software depends on the printer or user prefence - Makerbot Makerbot Print
- Ultimaker Cura
- Many are free and even open source
Settings Checklist for Slicer software
- Material
- Diameter (Usually 1,75mm or 3mm)
- Orientation of model - before “slicing”
- Layer height
- Infill percentage (how dense/hollow the part is)
- Supports (if needed)
Before starting print
- PLA: gluestick, (hairspray, blue tape)
- ABS: Kapton tape, BuildTak
- Check Printers material & nozzle
- Always observe first layers of printing – They are most crucial!
Categories of 3D printing
FDM, but have their drawbacks.
Strong parts: SLA < FDM
Big parts: SLA < FDM
Need supports: SLA < FDM
vat (or rises from it in some cases)
•New layer of resin is cured and process
repeated
•Materials:
•Which software would be most suitable for you?
•Should you use and modify existing files instead?
•How could you use 3D printing?
•In your work? Hobby? As a new skill?
•Which technology would be better for your application?
•What requirements do your prints have?
•SLA or FDM?
