Modeling Additive manufacturing takes virtual blueprints from computer aided design (CAD) or animation modeling software and "slices" them into digital cross-sections for the machine to successively use as a guideline for printing. Depending on the machine used‚ material or a binding material is deposited on the build bed or platform until material/binder layering is complete and the final 3D model has been "printed." It is a WYSIWYG process where the virtual model and the physical model are almost

printing is a category of rapid prototyping technology. 3D printers typically work by printing successive layers on top of the previous to build up a three dimensional object. The past decade has witnessed the emergence of new manufacturing technologies that build parts on a layer-by-layer basis. Using these technologies‚ manufacturing time for parts of virtually any complexity is reduced considerably. In other words‚ it is rapid. Rapid Prototyping Technologies and Rapid Manufacturing offer great

Additive Manufacturing; Rapidly Develops to a Mainstream Technology Additive Manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing in its infancy is one of the most progressive technologies in the manufacturing industry and medical fields. Soon this technology will be mainstream in these fields but will also be found in many households around the globe. AM DEFINITION Some of you may not know what AM is‚ the following is the standard definition by ASTM F2792-10‚ “The process of joining materials

even days. One of the main advantages that Soligen has was the founder Uziel had vast knowledge about metal casting before working with the 3DP process. He was the vice president of engineering at 3D system‚ a rapid prototyping firm. While he was at 3D systems‚ Uziel developed rapid prototyping machines based on streolithography for Ford Motors‚ General Motors and Chrysler Uziel knew that the need for making non-functional prototype parts would soon perish and be replaced by physical visualization.

Introduction Technology is improving everyday. Thirty years ago we were using typewriters. Now we have fancy electronics that project holograms. Some of the recent products may be really cool‚ but I believe that the invention that will impact us the most is the 3D Printer invented by Chuck Hull in 1984. Companies like Apple and Google may be creating new phones and computers‚ but these items are nothing compared to the 3D printer‚ which can print almost any object you can think of from a part of
