3D-Printing – A Technological Miracle!
The 3D-printing is basically one of the important and famous types of additive manufacturing technology. In this, a three dimensional object is developed by laying down successive layer of material one after the other. The printers used for this process are generally faster and affordable. They are easier to use than the other additive manufacturing technologies. The ability to print parts and assemblies are the facilities offered to product developers by the 3D-printers. These are made of several materials with various physical and mechanical properties in a single build process. Another facility is that the advance 3D-printingn technologies yield the models that closely emulate the feel, look and the functionality of the product prototypes. The 3D printer works in a proper sequence. It takes the 3D computer files and uses and makes the series of the cross-sectional slice. For the price sensitive buyers, there is an additional offer. The cost of the 3D printers has declined. You can get a reasonable kit from the market after little research. You should be very careful about buying process. You may be the victim of fraudulent activities of the retailers.
The processhas excessive use in the jewelry industry. The footwear, engineering, construction(AEC), industrial designs, aerospace, dental and medical and architecture industries also use this technique. The process of 3D-printing uses a variety of competing technologies. The main difference between them is the layering. Each technology has its own style of layering the material to create parts. Some methods use the technique of melting and softening material to produce the layers. The selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) are the examples. In some other techniques, liquid material is laid that is curved with different technologies. The thin layers are cut to shape and join together the material in the case of lamination system. Each method of 3D-printing has some advantages and some disadvantages. On the basis of these differences, companies offer the choice between polymer and powder as a material from which the objects are emerged. There are some common features in these technologies. Basically they perform the same function. The speed, cost of the printed prototype, the choice of the material, the cost of the 3D printer and the color capabilities are few of the features which are considered while buying this advance technology.
A very common method is consisting of the inkjet printing system. In this process, the printer creates the model one layer at a time by sprinkling the layer of the powder like plaster and resin. The inkjet printing binds the parts in the cross-sectional manner. It is a continuous process. This is done until every layer is printed. This is the only technology which offers the printing of the full color prototype. It is the fastest method in the 3D-printingtechnology. This method has a unique trait. It allows overhangs. This property differentiates it from all other process. Besides this, there are many other types available in this technology. Everyindustry chose the type which suits its production process. Overall it is a very beneficial process.
