Q

What is the process of Material extrusion?

A
  1. Filament Feed: A spool of thermoplastic filament is fed into the printer.
  2. Heating: The filament is heated to its melting point inside a nozzle.
  3. Extrusion: The molten material is extruded layer by layer through the nozzle onto the build platform.
  4. Layer Formation: Each layer solidifies and adheres to the previous layer as the nozzle moves according to the design.
23
Q

What is the process of Powder bed fusion

A
  1. Powder Spreading: A thin layer of powder material is spread across the build platform.
  2. Laser/Beam Exposure: A laser or electron beam selectively fuses powder particles in the desired pattern for the layer.
  3. Lowering Bed: The build platform is lowered by one layer thickness.
  4. Repeat: Steps 1-3 are repeated until the entire object is built.
  5. Cooling and Unpacking: Once printing is complete, the object is allowed to cool before being removed from the unbound powder.
24
Q

What is the process of Vat photopylumerization

A
  1. Resin Pooling: A vat is filled with liquid photopolymer resin.
  2. Layer Exposure: A light source (usually UV) cures the resin in specific patterns, solidifying one layer at a time.
  3. Platform Elevation: The build platform lifts, allowing new resin to flow beneath the cured layer.
  4. Repetition: Steps 2-3 are repeated until the object is fully formed.
  5. Post-Processing: The object is removed and often post-cured with additional light exposure.
25
What is the process of Material Jetting?
1. Droplet Ejection: Tiny droplets of photopolymer or wax are jetted onto the build platform in the desired pattern. 2. Curing: UV light cures and solidifies the material immediately after it is deposited. 3. Layer Formation: The build platform is lowered slightly, and the next layer is deposited. 4. Repeat: Steps 1-3 are repeated until the object is complete.
26
What is the process of Binding Jetting?
1. Powder Spreading: A thin layer of powder is spread across the build platform. 2. Binder Application: A liquid binding agent is selectively deposited to glue the powder particles together in the desired pattern. 3. Lowering Bed: The build platform is lowered by one layer thickness. 4. Repeat: Steps 1-3 are repeated until the entire object is built. 5. Curing and Post-Processing: The object is cured to solidify the binder and often requires additional post-processing like sintering.
27
What is the process of Sheet lamination?
1. Sheet Feeding: Sheets of material (paper, plastic, metal) are fed into the machine. 2. Bonding: Adhesive or thermal bonding is used to laminate sheets together. 3. Cutting: A laser or knife cuts the laminated sheets into the desired shape. 4. Layer Formation: Layers are bonded and cut sequentially to form the final object. 5. Post-Processing: Excess material is removed, and the object may undergo additional finishing processes.
28
What is the process of Directed energy deposition?
1. Material Feeding: Metal wire or powder is fed into the path of a focused energy source (laser, electron beam, or plasma arc). 2. Melting: The energy source melts the material, depositing it onto the build surface or an existing part. 3. Layer Formation: The deposition head moves to create the desired shape, layer by layer. 4. Solidification: Each deposited layer cools and solidifies quickly. 5. Repeat: Steps 1-4 are repeated until the object is fully formed, often requiring simultaneous multi-axis movement for complex geometries.
