Week 4 – Primary Additive 3D printing processes
History of AM
Topography:
1890: J.E. Blanther suggested a layered method for making a mould for topographical relief maps (wax plates)
Photosculpture:
1860: François Willème: 24 cameras around the
object > an artisan carved a 1/24th cylindrical portion of the figure using a silhouette of each photograph
(Bourell et al, 2009)
1951: O.J. Munz: proposed a system similar to stereolithography
1972: Pie
e Alfred Ciraud: The first successful AM process - a powder deposition method with an energy beam
1970’s: Housholder (powder laser sintering), Kodama (photopolymers), He
ert (photopolymers)
1986: Charles (Chuck) Hull: obtained a patent for stereolitography (SL) and founded 3D Systems

Rapid prototyping: Additive manufacturing of a design, often iterative, for form, fit, or functional testing, or combination thereof.
Rapid tooling: the use of additive manufacturing or subtractive manufacturing methods (such as CNC milling) to make tools or tooling quickly, either directly, by making parts that serve as the actual tools or tooling components, such as mold inserts, or indirectly, by producing patterns that are, in turn, used in a secondary process to produce the actual tools.
3D printing: The fa
ication of objects through the deposition of a material using a print head, nozzle, or another printer technology. Discussion: Term often used synonymously with additive manufacturing; in particular associated with machines that are low end in price and/or overall capability.

Dr Paul Collins

(Gibson et al, 2009)
1. Conceptualisation and CAD
3D model:
· Created using 3D modelling
· Created using 3D scanning
· Combination of 3D modelling and 3D scanning
CAD model (Solidworks 2014 modelling software)
Sketch
STL (.stl) is a file format for 3D model data used by machines to build physical parts; STL is the de facto standard interface for additive manufacturing systems. STL originated from the term stereolithography. (ASTM) It was created by 3D Systems.
STL:
· Is a polygonal (mesh) file
· Describes the external closed surfaces of the original CAD model (no history)
· Basis for calculation of the slices
(
2. Conversion to STL
)
(
Connex3 (Objet 500)
)
· Verification if the file is co
ect (normals, shells)
· General part manipulation:
· Part orientation (build height, specific location within the machine)
· Multiple parts (same parts, different parts)
· Scaling (mm, %)
· Adding text (identification)
(
3.
Transfer
to AM machine and STL
manipulation
)
Build parameters:
· Material constraints
· Energy source
· Layer thickness (time vs. accuracy)
· Timings
(
4. Machine setup
)
Superficial monitoring:
· Material (enough material)
· Energy (power outage)
· Software (e
ors)
(
5. Build
(Automated process)
)
Once the AM machine has completed the build, the parts must be removed.
Interaction with the machine:
· Safety issues: temperatures lower than operating temperatures, no actively moving parts
Interaction with the part:
· May be fragile before post- processing
(
6. Removal and Cleanup
)
· Careful, experienced manual manipulation
· Time consuming
Before parts are ready for use:
· May be weak
· May have supporting features that must be removed (cutting, melting)

7. Post-process
)
Surface finishing (visual, texture improvements):
· Priming, gap filling (modelling filler / surfacer + sand paper)
· Painting (car paint)
Assembling together with other part or mechanical / electronic components

)
Laser Melting (LM)
· DMLS developed by EOS
· Requires support structures (anchor parts and overhanging structures). This enables the heat transfer away where the laser is melting the powder.
· Parts in standard metals with high density - above 99% (can be further processed as any welding part)
· Good mechanical properties (comparable to traditional production technologies)
· Slow and expensive
· Tolerances and surface finishes are limited (can be improved in post-processing)

· Slow and expensive process
· EBM produces less thermal stress in parts and therefore requires less support structure than LM
· Not so good surface finishes as LM (more post-processing – better tolerances)
