What is 3D Printing?
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of
making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
It brings a digital object (its CAD representation) into its
physical form by adding layer by layer of materials.
Different materials can be used for 3D printing, such as
ABS plastic, PLA, polyamide (nylon), glass filled
polyamide, stereolithography materials (epoxy resins),
silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers and
polycarbonate.
World’s First 3D-Printer
1984 was the lucky year for 3D
printing. Working for a
tabletop and furniture
manufacturer, Charles Chuck
Hull was frustrated at the long
times it took to make small,
custom parts.
He therefore suggested
turning the company’s UV
lamps to a different use: curing
photosensitive resin layer-by-
layer, eventually creating a
part.
In 1974, David E. H. Jones laid out the concept of 3D
printing in his regular column Ariadne in the journal New
Scientist.
Dec. 8, 2010 - Organovo, Inc., a regenerative medicine
company focused on bioprinting technology, announced
the release of data on the first fully bioprinted blood
vessels.
Sep, 2011 - Vienna University of Technology, a smaller,
lighter and cheaper printing device has now been
developed.
This smallest 3D printer weighs 1.5 kilograms, it costs
around 1200 Euros.
One of most expensive 3D printer in the world is the 3D
platform excel which ranges from $450,000-$1,200,000

removal.
Depowdering
When finished, the model is
suspended in powder to cure. At
the end of the curing time, the
machine automatically removes
most of the powder from around
the model by applying vacuum
pressure and vibration to the
bottom of the build chamber.
Methods of 3D-Printing
Selective laser Sintering(SLS)
Stereolithography(SLA)
Polyjet or Jetted Photopolymer(J-P)
Fused deposition modeling/fused filament
fabrication(FDM/FFF)
Selective laser Sintering
This method uses a high powered
laser to melt powder together. When
the set up is done carefully, this can
create an almost perfectly uniform
material of nearly injection mold
quality.
This make for very durable products.
This is very interesting for musical
instruments, as this allows us to
create objects with the same
materials as conventional
instruments.
The method is relatively simple, due
to inherent supports it avoids
additional step in between the 3d
model and printing
Stereolithography
A layer of fluid resin is
hardened by UV or laser. It
makes for great surface
quality and build accuracy.
Useful, as this removes the
need for post-finishing.
But the products remain
brittle, which disqualifies
this method for musical
instruments, because an
instrument which could
break during performance,
is no use at all.
Polyjet or Jetted Photopolymer
Extrudes a photo
polymer which hardens
with UV light. We can
create rubber-like
objects. This could be
interesting for creating
one-piece string
instruments.
