transform the raw materials into finished product.

Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing: Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing process


through which three-dimensional (3-D) solid objects are created adding successive
layers of material under computer control.
History of Additive manufacturing
• AM developed in the 1980s, when a man named Charles “Chuck” Hull
invented the first form of 3D printing, called stereolithography (SLA).

• Additive manufacturing first emerged in 1987 with stereolithography (SL)


from 3D Systems, a process that solidifies thin layers of ultraviolet (UV)
light‐sensitive liquid polymer using a laser

• It is a technology of huge significance in today’s world because of its ability


to decrease the manufacturing lead time by 30–50 %, yet maintaining part
complexity
The Generic AM Process
• Step1:CAD
• Step2: Conversion to .Stl
• Step3: Transfer to AM Machine and
.Stl File Manipulation
• Step4: Machine Setup
• Step5: Build
• Step6: Removal
• Step7: Postprocessing
• Step8: Application
Technologies in additive manufacturing

There are many techniques available, which can be categorized according to their
raw material.
powder-based liquid-based Solid-based
• Selective laser • stereolithography • Laminated object
melting (SLM), manufacturing(LOM)
• Selective laser apparatus (SLA) and
sintering (SLS), • and polyjet • Fused deposition
and modeling (FDM)
• Electron beam
melting(EBM).

Materials Used

Basically, any material can be produced by one or another AM technique today.

These materials can be divided into four main categories


• Plastics
• Metals
• Ceramics and
• composites
Applications of Additive Manufacturing
• Aerospace, Energy, Oil and Gas

• Automotive

• Engineered Structures and Materials

• Medical and Dental

• Industrial Engineering

• Tool and Die, Molds

• Consumer, On Demand Personalized

• Remanufacture and Repair


Advantages of Additive Manufacturing
• Design freedom AM can make essentially any geometry with no restrictions
• No tooling AM can make parts from start to finish with no other tooling
required
• Saves material Due to near net shape processing, it creates less waste than
machining
• Versatility Easy to change design and complexity
• Part optimization No design restriction means parts can be made lighter and
stronger
Challenges in Additive Manufacturing

• Surface finish: Post-processing is needed for optimal surface finish


• Slower build rates for high volume
• High printer cost: Large capital investment is needed for high-end printers
• Material and size restrictions: Limited versatility among different 3D printers
makes them material specific and has limited build volume
Conclusion

AM will have a profound effect on the manufacturing of many goods as well as create a world of
global engineering where ideas and designs can be spread in the most effective way. The current
state of large-scale manufacturing leaves consumers settling for products that are not quite exactly
what they want. Also, it does not provide the consumer with customization of products. AM is a
method that has the ability to make complex geometries, alter material properties, and allow for
versatility in the production of parts.
