Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing)
Additive Manufacturing (3d Printing)
The building process is completed by adding layers of material from a 3D shape using additive manufacturing methods.
Typically, the idea of additive manufacturing finds application in industrial and/or professional settings. Since the best technology will be employed for each project like stereolithography (SLA), laser sintering (SLS), fused deposition modeling (FDM), or another. This manufacturing does not specify the technology to be used.
Using 3D printing for mass production shortens the time it takes to bring products to market, does away with the need to purchase manufacturing tools, makes it easier to create functional designs regardless of their geometry, permits the design of complex components, and makes it easier to review and update the design on a regular basis.
Advantages of Additive Manufacturing :
Constructing intricate geometries : AM allows for the creation of complex geometries that would be difficult or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. This includes intricate internal structures, undercuts, and complex curves.
- Naturalistic shapes
- Geometries including interior voids
- Fractal Art designs
- Refrain from assemblies
- Form-fitting designs
- SPEED: promotes creativity
Additive manufacturing applications :
- The aerospace industry
- The automotive sector
- Industrial machinery
- Medication
- Customized goods for consumers
- Interior and architectural design
- Instruments and components of manufacturing
