How Does 3D Printing Work?

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by building them layer by layer from a digital model.

1. Design: It starts with a 3D model created using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software or downloaded from online repositories.

2. Slicing: The 3D model is sliced into thin horizontal layers using specialized software, which also generates instructions (G-code) for the 3D printer.

3. Printing: The 3D printer reads the G-code and starts building the object layer by layer. In FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing, a filament is melted and extruded through a nozzle. In resin printing, liquid resin is cured with UV light.

4. Cooling/Setting: Each layer solidifies before the next one is added. This process continues until the entire object is formed.

5. Post-Processing: The printed object may require cleaning, curing (for resin prints), or other finishing touches like sanding or painting.

IN EASY WORDS

3D printing works by creating objects layer by layer. First, a design is made on a computer using special software. This design acts like a blueprint for the 3D printer. The printer then uses materials like plastic or resin and starts building the object from the bottom up, adding one thin layer at a time. Each layer sticks to the one below it until the object is fully formed. It's like stacking very thin slices of material to create a whole shape. This process is precise and can make all sorts of items, from toys to tools, and even parts for machines!

What’s The Difference Between 3D Printing Filaments And Resins?

What’s the difference between 3D printing filaments and resins?
Filaments and resins are two different types of materials used in 3D printing.

  • Filaments are solid plastic threads used in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers. They are melted and laid down layer by layer to build your 3D object. Common filament types include PLA, ABS, and PETG.
  • Resins are liquid materials used in Stereolithography (SLA) or Digital Light Processing (DLP) printers. Resins harden when exposed to light, allowing for the creation of highly detailed and smooth 3D prints.

Choosing between them depends on your printer type and the level of detail or strength you need for your project.
