Midterm: 3D Printing Flashcards
it is a technological shift that integrates
- artificial intelligence (AI)
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Robotics
- Virtual Reality
- 3D Printing
Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR Technologies)
This revolution is redefining traditional manufacturing, making it more
- efficient
- sustainable
- innovative
Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)
It is also known as “additive manufacturing”
3D Printing
It is process where objects are built layer by layer from digital designs
3D Printing
Minimizes waste and allows for intricate designs
3D Printing
3 Steps of How 3D Printing Works
- Design and Preparation
- Slicing Process
- Printing Process
Step of How 3D Printing Works:
- Digital model is created is using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software or a 3D scanner
Design and Preparation
Step of How 3D Printing Works:
- Model is then converted into a format that the 3D can read, (usually STL or Stereolithography) or OBJ files
Design and Preparation
Step of How 3D Printing Works:
- Slices the 3D model into then horizontal layers, determining how the printer will build the object
Slicing Process
Step of How 3D Printing Works:
- sent to the 3D printer, which prints the object layer by layer using materials
Printing Process
Materials used to print the object layer by layer
- Plastic
- Metals
- Ceramics
- Concrete
- Biological Materials
Step of How 3D Printing Works:
- material is deposited or fused using different 3D printing technologies
Printing Process
3D printing technologies for 3D printing
- Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
- Stereolithography (SLA)
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
3D Printing Technology:
- melts plastic filament and extrudes it layer by layer
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
3D Printing Technologies:
- Uses UV light to harden liquid resin to solid layers
Stereolithography
3D Printing Technologies:
- uses laser to fuse powdered materials into solid objects
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Applications of 3D Printing: Healthcare and Medicine
- uses bio-links of living cells
- print tissues and organ structure
Bioprinting
Applications of 3D Printing: Healthcare and Medicine
- Custom-fit,
- low-cost
- designed for people with disabilities
Prosthetics
Applications of 3D Printing: Healthcare and Medicine
- 3D printed scaffolds
- to aid in bone regeneration
Bone Scaffolds
Applications of 3D Printing: Healthcare and Medicine
- anatomical models
- help doctors plan surgeries with precesion
Surgical Models
Applications of 3D Printing: Manufacturing and Industry
- create quick, cost-effective prototypes
Prototyping
Applications of 3D Printing:
- 3D printed houses and modular structures
- CUBO Modular Inc. (Philippines) is exploring 3D printing for sustainable housing
Construction and Architecture
Application of 3D Printing:
- schools incorporating 3D printing intro engineering and design programs
- Bryant Hill (Georgetown Student) 3D printed over 100 prosthetics
Education and Research
Applications of 3D Printing:
- companies (Nike, Adidas, New Balance) use 3D printing to design custom shoes
- jewelry and accessories
Fashion and Consumer Goods
