3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.
3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine.
3D printing enables you to produce complex (functional) shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
FDM Technology builds parts in the same strong, stable plastics used in injection molding, CNC machining and other traditional manufacturing processes.
3D printers that run on FDM Technology build parts layer-by-layer from the bottom up by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. The process is simple:
1.Pre-processing:Build-preparation software slices and positions a 3D CAD file and calculates a path to extrude thermoplastic and any necessary support material.
2.Production:The 3D printer heats the thermoplastic to a semi-liquid state and deposits it in ultra-fine beads along the extrusion path. Where support or buffering is needed, the 3D printer deposits a removable material that acts as scaffolding.
3.Post-processing:The user breaks away support material or dissolves it in detergent and water, and the part is ready to use.
At SKY Cad, we cover all aspects of 3D printing technology like “Latest News”, “3D Printers”, “Print On Demand Services” and “3D Design Store. Sky Cad has built a dedicated & strong support staff and they are equipped with all the required tools, training and resources to offer.We use high quality imported machines and plastic. These machines can create usable objects, not just working prototypes.
Turn your ideas to reality with our full fledged service capabilities. Equipped with the latest technologies and a passionate team, we would love to partner with you on your journey. No restrictions on creativity!
3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any surface of an object in three dimensions via specialized software.
