After Coronavirus entered into the world it effected so many lives of poor, middle class and rich people. Out of all the sectors Mechanical industries faced so much loss. Artificial intelligence, machine learning take boon in the world. Every industry get automized with robots. In this era 3d printing and Additive manufacturing has given a solution in manufacturing products. Lots of products that can made by commercial machines can be replaced with 3d printing and additive manufacturing systems to make products. It is also necessary to know the different important points in 3d printing and additive manufaturing.
Manufacturing process in 3d printing and additive manufacturing
3d printing and additive manufacturing are not same. They differ by design, size and manufacturing ways.
3d printing done by fusion deposition moulding (FDM) and fused filament fabrication (FFF) processes.
Additive manufacturing is done by selective laser sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA) processes.
Applications
3d printing and additive manufacturing reduces unemployment and powerty. It improves healthcare products, no pollution, decrease in material cost and more economic.
3d printing is used to manufacture of robotics, PLC circuit boards, bridges, implants.
Additive manufacturing used in making food like plant based meat products, glass frames, complex shape products, Big products, Tooling, fashion, electronics, construction.
Materials
polymers, metals, polymer composites, metal composites can be used to make products
Mostly 3d printing uses resins, metal powders to make products.
In Additive manufacturing method uses metals, Ceramics, Composites, Advanced polymers.
