I. Introduction Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a widely used 3D printing technology that has revolutionized the way we design and manufacture products. With FDM, complex 3D objects can be created by depositing layers of melted thermoplastic filament in a precise pattern, according to a digital model. FDM is affordable, versatile, and easy to use,…
Quality Control and assurance for Additive Manufacturing – What You Need To Know? How does It work? Why Is It Important? Where Do I Start? introduction The field of Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, has brought a revolutionary change. The product design, development, and manufacturing process has been transformed. The growth of…
3D Printing Basics for beginners is a topic we will look at today. We know you have a lot of choices when it comes to learning about 3D printing, and we’re glad you’ve chosen us as your source of information. By now, most of us have heard at least a passing mention of the promise…
Additive manufacturing technologies are exploding in popularity for a couple of different reasons. These include producing composite materials and manufacturing objects without needing tooling or machining, achieving higher tolerances on smaller parts, and decreasing lead time once it has approved the design. What types of additive manufacturing technologies exist? ISO/ASTM standard 52900 was produced in…
Don’t have time for the complete additive manufacturing definition? Here’s the short rundown: How authoritative is your definition of additive manufacturing? Does it focus on what makes something additive manufacturing, or does it take a thematic approach? Does it describe the techniques used or share some valuable examples? This blog post will define this type…
The term “additive manufacturing” is used to describe the process of 3D Printing. We often shorten it to “AM” and it takes on many forms, such as laser-assisted or electron beam melting. The printer creates the object by adding small amounts of material layer by layer until we have made the entire model. However, there…
The Additive Manufacturing Process is the generic term for a broad range of techniques used to fabricate a three-dimensional object from a digital model. The three-dimensional computer model is cut into thin horizontal layers. By stacking layers on top of one another and binding them together using a substance such as plastic or metal, the…
