What is 3D Printing?
![Page 6: Zcorp Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54fea5854a7959592e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3D CAD File
A 3D Printer is an Output Device for 3D CAD Data

How it Works
Spread Layer of Powder Print Cross-Section
1 2Spread Layer of Powder

• Software "slices" CAD file into thousands of thin layers
• Physical model is built one layer at a time
• Ink-jet print heads deposit binder into powder to create layers

Mainstream 3D Printing vs. Narrow-use Rapid Prototyping & Mfg.
“Rapid” Manufacturing
• Uses: short-run, end-use parts• Need: material strength, tooling-level
accuracy• Tradeoffs; very high cost, slow,
monochrome, difficult-to-use
Old “Rapid” Prototyping
• Uses: functional testing, late form & fit• Need material strength, tooling-level
accuracy• Tradeoffs; very high cost, slow,
monochrome, difficult-to-useMainstream 3D Printing
• Uses: – Design concept visualization– Early form & fit testing– Wide-ranging engineering,
sales, & marketing applications
• Needs– Very low cost for everyday use– Very fast print speed– High-definition resolution– Full-color, graphics, annotation– Easy to use

Streamline the Design Process
• Create more prototypes, sooner
• Make ideas easier to visualize
• Make decisions faster by reviewing tangible options
• Identify form, fit, function errors early
• Improve clarity of communication with suppliers, vendors, prospective customers
• Output a single data file on printers in multiple locations. Instantly collaborate on design revisions
![Page 13: Zcorp Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54fea5854a7959592e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Jumpstart Sales & Marketing
• Create physical representations of concepts to win business even before the design process begins
• Create realistic prototypes for focus groups
• Affordably produce a variety of options, styles, fashions
• Develop and evaluate packaging options
• Begin selling before manufacturing delivers product

How to Evaluate 3D Printers
• How quickly do you need your parts?
– In the next hour?
– This afternoon?
– Tomorrow?
– Next week?
• How quickly does the person after you need their part?
• What can you afford to pay for each model?
– $10?
– $100?
– $1,000?
• Are your designs simple or complex?

Why Color?
- More lifelike prototypes
- Shape and size are only two aspects of the design. Color is the third.
“ Color had a much bigger impact on our design process than we ever imagined. We knew it would save time and enhance communication, but it’s really been a giant leap forward for us. It won’t make monochrome prototyping obsolete, but it has dramatically accelerated our progress from simple sketches to success on the market”

Dimension Support Structures
The Dimension process involves physical support
structures that must be painstakingly removed with tools
![Page 59: Zcorp Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54fea5854a7959592e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Dimension Tools for Removing Support Structures
• Exacto knife
– To cut away supports & base
• Sharp metal spatula
– To cut between the part & support structure

Dimension Part Processing
Step 1
Remove part with base and support structure from
Dimension printer
Support Structure = Waste
Base = Waste
![Page 61: Zcorp Introduction](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051515/54fea5854a7959592e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Dimension Part Processing
Step 2
Attempt to tear part from support
structure. Support structure
cracks
Step 3
Cut support structure from the
rest of the base

Dimension Part Processing
Step 5
Continue to cut away support structure. Difficult because tools do
not reach all surfaces

“ Architects just can’t collaborate around a napkin or computer file the same way they can around a physical model. Architects need to literally walk around a design, get their hands on it and maybe mark it up with a pen. This process is as vital as presenting to the client and just as rigorous?”
Al Vass – Associate VP

Case Study – Oliver Wolcott Technical School
• Machine Drafting students measure a real part & create that part in 3D CAD
– Part is made on 3D printer
– Students compare actual part with the Z Corp. part
• After completion of this project, students create their own 3D CAD design & “Zprint”
• All students trained on the Z Corp. printer & actively use it
