A 3D printer is a machine that allows the creation of a physical object from a 3-dimensional digital model created in software. Laying down many thin layers of material in succession is the process of doing this. This method is additive manufacturing or 3D Printing.
.
It is unlike the conventional machining, casting, and forging processes. The first thing is removing the material from a stock item or pouring into a mold. Then shaping it using dies, presses, and hammers. One of its key advantages is the ability to produce very complex shapes or geometries. Also, a prerequisite for producing any 3D printed part is a digital 3D model or a CAD file. The most commonly used 3D-printing process is a material extrusion technique called fused deposition modeling. FDM is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material . The filament is fed from a […]
