1. What is 3D printing?

3D printing is also known as desktop fabrication or additive manufacturing, it is a prototyping process whereby an realobject is created from a 3D design. The digital 3D-model is saved in STL format and then sent to a 3D printer. The 3Dprinter then print the design layer by layer and form a real object. Read more..

2. 3D printing technologies

Quite a few technologies are capable to do 3D printing. The main differences are how layers are built to create parts.

SLS (selective laser sintering), FDM (fused depostion modeling) & SLA (stereolithograhpy) are the most widely usedtechnologies for 3D printing. Selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) use melting or softeningmaterial to produce the layers.

This video describe how laser-sintering process melt fine powders, bit by bit, into 3D shapes.

This video shows how FDM works.

3Ders.org, the largest 3D printingnews site in the world, provideslatest news and developments of3D printing technology and 3Dprinters.

3D Printing Basics

The video belows explains the process of Stereolithography (SLA).

Generally, the main considerations are speed, cost of the printed prototype, cost of the 3D printer, choice and cost ofmaterials and colour capabilities.

3. The history of 3D printing

October 5, 2011 - Roland DG Corporation introduced the new iModela iM-01.

Sep, 2011 - Vienna University of Technology, a smaller, lighter and cheaper printing device has now been developed.

This smallest 3D printer weighs 1.5 kilograms, it costs around 1200 Euros.

Aug, 2011 - The world’s first 3D printed aircraft created by Engineers at the University of Southampton.

4. 3D printing applications

One of the most important applications of 3D printing is in the medical industry. With 3D printing, surgeons can producemockups of parts of their patient's body which needs to be operated upon.

3D printing make it possible to make a part from scratch in just hours. It allows designers and developers to go from flatscreen to exact part.

Nowadays almost everything from aerospace components to toys are getting built with the help of 3D printers. 3D printingis also used for jewelry and art, architecture, fashion design, art, architecture and interior design.

Here are some extraordinary examples of 3D-printing:

The World's First 3D-Printed Car

Resources

3D Print Directory

Top 100 Websites

3D Printer Prices

World's first chocolate printer

World's first 3D printed bikini

5. What is a 3D printer?

3D printer is unlike of the common printers. On a 3D printer the object is printed by three dimension. A 3D model is built uplayer by layer. Therefore the whole process is called rapid prototyping, or 3D printing. Read more..

The resolution of the current printers are among the 328 x 328 x 606 DPI (xyz) at 656 x 656 x 800 DPI (xyz) in ultra-HDresolution. The accuracy is 0.025 mm - 0.05 mm per inch. The model size is up to 737 mm x 1257 mm x 1504 mm.

The biggest drawback for the individual home user is still the high cost of 3D printer. Another drawback is that it takeshours or even days to print a 3D model (depending on the complexity and resolution of the model). Besides above, theprofessional 3D software and 3D model design is also in a high cost range.

Alternatively there are already simplified 3D printers for hobbyist which are much cheaper. And the materials it uses is alsoless expensive. These 3D printers for home use are not as accurate as commercial 3D printer.

6. Whats the difference between a basic rapid prototyping machine and a 3D printer?

3D printers are the simple version of rapid prototyping machines. It is lower lost and less capable.

Rapid prototyping is a conventional method that has been used by automotive and aircraft industries for years.

In general 3D printers are compact and smaller than RP machines. They are ideal for use in offices. They use less energyand take less space. They are designed for low volume reproduction of real objects made of nylon or other plastics. Thatalso means 3D printers make smaller parts. Rapid prototyping machines have build chambers at least 10 inches on a side,a 3D printer has less than 8 inches on a side. However a 3D printer is capable of all the functions of rapid prototypingmachine such as verifying and validating design, creating prototype, remote sharing of information etc.

Consequently 3D printers are easy to handle and cheap to maintain. You can buy one of those DIY kit in the market andbuild up yourself. It is cheaper than the professional rapid prototyping, for $1000 or less you can have one 3D printer. Whilethe professional rapid prototyping cost at least $50,000.

3D printers are less accurate than rapid prototyping machines. Because of its simplicity the material choices are alsolimited.

7. What can you make with a 3D printer?

In 3D printing area, people say "If You Can Draw It, You Can Make It". In the video below shows many items can be madewith a 3D printer. However complicated objects can only be made by professional 3D printers, they are not yet affortable forcommon family.

8. Who make 3D printers?

Industrial 3D printer manufacturers:

Stratasys3DSystems

Home 3D printers manufacturers:

Reprap.org Makerbot IndustriesUltimakerFab@Home

9. How much cost a 3D printer?

Here are list of DIY 3D printer price comparison and list of fully assembled or commercial 3D printers price comparison(less than $25,000).

11. What are the materials used to print 3D objects?

Many different materials can be used for 3D printing, such as ABS plastic, PLA, polyamide (nylon), glass filled polyamide,stereolithography materials (epoxy resins), silver, titanium, steel, wax, photopolymers and polycarbonate.

12. What 3D modeling software is suitable for a beginner in 3D design?

If you’re just getting started you can try some of 3D modeling software which can be downloaded for free.

Google SketchUp - This Google SketchUp is fun and free, and is known for being easy to use. To build models inSketchUp, you draw edges and faces using a few simple tools that you can learn in a short time. With with Push/Pulltool you can extrude any flat surface into a 3D form. Furthermore, it works together with Google Earth, that you canimport a scaled aerial photograph directly from Google Earth, or use SketchUp to build models which can be seen inGoogle Earth.

3Dtin - The simplest 3D software. You can draw directly from your browser.

Blender - Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems underthe GNU General Public License. Blender was developed as an in-house application by the Dutch animation studioNeoGeo and Not a Number Technologies (NaN). It is a powerful program contains features that are characteristic ofhigh-end 3D software.

OpenSCAD - OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is free software and available forLinux/UNIX, MS Windows and Mac OS X. it does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling but instead onthe CAD aspects.

Tinkercad - Tinkercad is a new and faster way of creating designs for your 3D printer. With only three basic tools youcan create a wide range of useful things. Once your project is ready simply download the STL file and start your 3Dprint.

Check out the more software in the free software list.

Commercial software such as CAD software AutoCAD and Pro Engineer, software packages Rhino, Maya, and SolidWorksare all pretty good for designing 3D models.

13. I have no 3D design experience, how long does it take to learn 3D modeling?

You can learn how to 3D model by learning how to use 3D modeling tools such as Rhino, Blender or SketchUp. It will takeyou some weeks to be familiar with 3D modeling tools such as SketchUp, Rhino and Blender. To become a professionaluser will take you at least half a year to study and practice.

14. Where can I get 3D models online?

Here are some website with 3D models database:

3D Marvels3D ViaGrabCADGoogle 3D WarehousePonoko Product PlansShapeways 3D Parts DatabaseThingiverseTurbosquid: Free objects

15. Where can I find online 3D printing service?

Companies like Shapeways, i.Materialise, Sculpteo and Ponoko provides online 3D printing service. More to find here: Listof 3D printing service

To boot, the damnextruder was printed out of PLA! As soon as the extruder bed temperature gets any warmer that 50 degrees, the damnthing starts to melt. Dont'get me started on the extruder platform either... Looks like something a grade school kid designed(the bearing holders on the platform came loose after about three prints...
