3D Printing

By: Andrew Gruszka

3D Printing began after the invention of Inkjet printersThe technology has rapidly evolvedUsed to cost 100k+, now everyone can afford them

History

All 3D printers begin with a Computer-Aided DesignThese designs tell the printer what they need to doThere are many different programs to make CAD’s.

Basic Design

g This is the basis of 3D printingWithout this, 3D

printers would be much slower and more expensive

First method of 3D PrintingInvented by Charles Hull in 1988Basis for future 3D printing technologies

Stereolythography (SLA)

FUSION DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM) Second method of 3D printing developed Uses different materials than SLA Useful for more consumer purposes

Newest and most popular method of 3D printingCan make use of a wide range of materials

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Materials

Wax Gold

Nylon Silver

Glass Titanium

Stainless Steel Aluminum

3D printing is making huge strides in being used in the Medical communityProstheticsArtificial Blood Vessels

Medical Uses

3D printed JawboneAn 83 year old woman in the Netherlands

had her jaw replaced by a 3D printed titanium implant after getting a bone infection. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16907104

3D Printing Technology continues to grow exponentially and will have a huge impact upon manufacturing and production of goods everywhereThe future is undefined for 3D printing, however…
