GUIDE Introduction Having been involved with 3D printing for a while, I’ve noticed that many enthusiasts get confused by the myriad of technical terms when they first start. For instance, when I took a junior colleague to visit a local 3D printing service provider this week, I intended to act like an expert, but I … Read more
This is a comprehensive guide from scratch, aimed at helping you quickly establish a cognitive framework. 1. Core Concept: What is 3D Printing? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a digital manufacturing technology that constructs three-dimensional objects by stacking materials layer by layer. The core difference between it and traditional manufacturing (such as … Read more
3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is a technology that builds three-dimensional objects by stacking materials layer by layer. Compared to traditional subtractive manufacturing (such as cutting and grinding), it can directly generate complex structures based on digital models, offering significant advantages in design freedom, material utilization, and personalized customization. The following sections provide … Read more
1. Introduction About 3D PrintingMany people think it is simply about extruding material from a hot nozzle and stacking it into shapes, but this is not the case. I also stumbled upon this type of manufacturing and gained a preliminary understanding of it. I would like to take this opportunity to learn together with everyone. … Read more
3DP is one of the 3D printing technologies, and here I will explain the working principles of 3DP technology. 3DP (Three Dimensional Printing and Gluing), also known as Binder Jetting or Inkjet Powder Printing. In terms of working method, three-dimensional printing is closest to traditional two-dimensional inkjet printing. Similar to the SLS process, 3DP also … Read more
Source: Optical Wave Original Author:Bo Xiangkun This article introduces the development of lasers and their applications in 3D printing. 1. Laser The light produced by stimulated emission of atoms is called laser. Lasers have high coherence and good monochromaticity, and can be classified into ultraviolet lasers, visible light lasers, and infrared lasers based on their … Read more
The necessity of adding support in 3D printing depends on factors such as the structural characteristics of the printed model, the type of printing technology used, and the properties of the materials. 01 What is a 3D Printing Support Structure? Support structures are additional structures added during the 3D printing process to prevent deformation or … Read more
3D printing is an emerging technology in the manufacturing sector, referred to as a “manufacturing technology with industrial revolution significance.” In recent years, with advancements in industrial technology, 3D printing has developed rapidly and gained widespread media attention, with various 3D printing technologies being reported. Faced with numerous 3D printing technologies, are you feeling a … Read more
3D printing technology, academically known as “additive manufacturing,” is also referred to as additive manufacturing or incremental manufacturing. According to the definition published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) 3D Printing Technical Committee (F42 Committee) established in 2009, 3D printing is a method that contrasts sharply with traditional material processing methods, based … Read more
3D printing technology is actually a collection of rapid prototyping technologies, all of which are based on the principle of layered manufacturing. The rapid prototyping machine forms the cross-sectional shape of the workpiece by scanning in the X-Y plane, while intermittently displacing the layer thickness in the Z coordinate, ultimately forming a three-dimensional object. Currently, … Read more
