B. (SLA) Stereo lithography Technology

3D models developed by this process are highly complex and detailed. This system produces the object with accuracy and precision
with fast prototyping process. Special types of plastic is used called photo polymers liquid which is heated and converted to 3D
objects one layer at a time. In this process first the plastic is heated to form semi liquid glue the harden to base layer by layer with
the help of ultra violet laser, directed by X and Y scanning mirror from bottom to top once the object get completed and from 3D
object. It is carefully detached and extra resin is removed through chemical bath. SLA technology is now widely used in variety of
industries like aerospace, automotive, entertainment, military etc. to create exclusive products some SLA printers.[3][5]

2) Form 1+SLA 3D printer
C. (DLP) Digital Light Processing Technology

This technology come in work 1987.DLP Printing is more like SLA printing technique because both the technology uses liquid
plastic resin (Photo Polymers) which goes into transparent resin containers to from 3D object. But one major difference between the
two SLA uses Ultra violet rays to diffuse the single layer whereas DLP Uses traditionally light lamps source which reduces the time
of production. It exposes entire lasers at once. DLP is much faster technology the SLA as it produces high end resolution models
with low production cost. [3][5]

D. ( SLS) Selective Laser Sintering Technology

This technology came in 1980 this technology is more like SLA technology. With regards to it speed and accuracy but the major
difference is it uses powered substance instead of liquid resins which is used by SLA technology. This technology used high power
Co2 laser to fuse the powered material, (it can be metal material ceramics material, glass material etc.) this process is done layer
by layer until the object height is reached to its maximum, once the structure is built, It is removed and un-sintered powder
manually.[3][5]
E. (SLM) Selective laser Melting Technology
This technology came in around 1995. Which also uses same technology as SLA uses a high powered laser beam to print 3D
objects. This process involves powdered material + Laser beam + Precision + structured layer bed – complex highly detail 3D
model. In this process the laser beam melts the powdered material which forms laser on bed according to given dimensions. Then
this layer is welded to another coming successive layer to form the 3D object. The object mode is removed and cleared after words.
The major difference between SLS and SLM is SLS partially melts the powder material but SLM completely melts the powder
material. SLM products are stronger.[3][5]

B. Design your own 3D miniature Toys
3D printing allows you to make your own unique prototype 3d models which are not available in the market .You can design your
own character and sell to the market having detail finishing and different colour models with copyright to major gaming toys
companies for distribution and marketing holding a profit sharing between the organisation.[4]
C. Create 3D printing Accessories, Gadgets and Consoles
Develop your own remote, play button and arcade joysticks to experience the old style retro console games. Many companies are
developing desktop arcade machine alternatives. You can create your own controllers and change the play buttons you feel like
giving better and fancy look.[4]
D. Create original game with 3D Prototype
In pre-production of gaming process many concept ideas are generated .In this production phase many changes occur time to time
for the better of the game. 3D character, environment, assets and props prototype is developed in physical form to give vision how
the game play will look like. Art design department of gaming companies develops this 3D prototype to visualize and create the
game from scratch models to high end complex models.[4]
VI. CONCLUSION
3D printing technology not only allows boundless customization but also helps gamers to produce and develop unique games having
their own ideas in short period of time and cost effective. Many large companies are seeing 3D printing technology as an
opportunity to enhance their production power. Small scale industries also got benefits by using 3DP technology by creating new
business game models which are more sustainable to the local market as this technology require less man power, less space for
production, less cost of production and provide easy customization
Gaming is one of the major sources of entertainment to the people today and always will be and there will always be a space for 3D
additive manufacturing.[6]
