11004147 HISTROY 3D printing was invented in the year 1984 by Charles Hull with the advancements in printing methods after the invention of inkjet printers in the year 1976.
Charles Hull is the co-founder, executive vice president and chief technology officer of 3D systems.
FIRST 3D PRINTER ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING Additive manufacturing takes virtual blueprints from CAD and "slices" them into digital cross- sections for the machine to successively use as a guideline for printing.
Depending on the machine used, material or a binding material is deposited on platform until material layering is complete and the final 3D model has been printed. PROCESS OF PRINTING The process in which this 3D printing is done is stereolithography which starts with the generation of stl file using CAD software. 1.STEREOLITHOGRAPHY TYPES OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING 2.SELECTIVE LASER MELTING 3.FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING TYPES OF PRINTERS Price : Rs 1,20,000 Price : Rs 6,00,000 LOW END Maximum part size: 12.7 x 12.7 x 12.7 cm (5 x 5 x 5 in)
