3D MODELING
|
|
3-D modeling is the use of software to create a virtual three-dimensional model of some physical object
FDM PRINTING
|
|
There are several different methods of 3D printing, and all kinds of 3D printers. The most widely used process is known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). A spool of filament is loaded into the 3D printer and fed through a printer nozzle in the extrusion head, which is heated to a desired temperature. The motor pushes the filament through the heated nozzle, causing it to melt/ The head follows specified coordinates from the 3D design and lays the molten material onto the build plate where it cools and solidifies. This process of printing cross-sections is repeated, building layer-upon-layer until the object is fully formed. Depending on the geometry of the object, it is sometimes necessary to add support structures, for example, if a model has steep overhanging parts. |
SLA (LASER) PRINTING
|
Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing process that, in its most common form, works by focusing an ultraviolet (UV) laser on to a vat of photopolymer resin. With the assistance of computer design software, the UV laser is used to draw a pre-programmed design or shape on to the surface of the photopolymer vat. Because photopolymers are sensitive to ultraviolet light, the resin is solidified and forms a single layer of the desired 3D object. The build platform lowers and builds one layer at a time, repeating until the 3D object is complete. Once printing is complete, parts are washed in a solvent bath, and placed in the dryer to complete the process. |
