INTRODUCTION TO ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

INTRODUCTION TO ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING


Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, is a transformative process that builds objects layer by
layer from digital models. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, which involves cutting or machining materials,
AM adds material to create complex, customized, and often intricate structures. This technology has diverse applications
across industries, from prototyping to producing end-use parts, offering flexibility, reduced waste, and the ability to create
designs previously impractical or impossible .
Additive Manufacturing involves:
1.Layer-by-Layer Construction: - AM processes create objects by depositing material layer upon layer, each layer
adhering to the one beneath it. This layering principle distinguishes AM from traditional subtractive manufacturing
methods.
2.Digital Design: - The process begins with a digital 3D model created using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
This model serves as a blueprint for the physical object.
3.Variety of Technologies: - There are various AM technologies, each with its own principles and materials. Common
techniques include Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and
more.
4. Materials: - AM can use a wide range of materials, including plastics, metals, ceramics, and even biological materials.
The versatility of material choices contributes to the technology's applicability across industries.
5. Applications: - AM has diverse applications, from rapid prototyping to producing end-use parts. Industries such as

aerospace, healthcare, automotive, and consumer goods benefit from its ability to create complex geometries and intricate
MOTIVATIONS REGARDING ADDITIVE
MANUFACTURING
• Motivations for adopting Additive Manufacturing (AM) are multifaceted and impact various aspects of industries.

Here are key motivations:

1.Design Freedom: - AM allows for intricate and complex designs that were previously challenging or impossible to

produce. This design freedom encourages innovation and the creation of optimized structures.

2. Continuous Innovation: - The evolving nature of AM technologies encourages continuous innovation. Ongoing

research and development lead to improvements in speed, precision, and the range of printable materials.

3. Tooling and Cost Savings: - Traditional manufacturing often requires expensive molds and tooling. AM can

eliminate or significantly reduce these costs, especially for low-volume production runs.

4. Medical Advancements: - In healthcare, AM has revolutionized the production of patient-specific implants,

prosthetics, and even organs. This personalized approach improves patient outcomes and quality of life.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Paper and Author Summary
Printing of layered brain-like structures using The brain is an enormously complex organ structured into various regions of layered
peptide modified gell gum substrates tissue. Researchers have attempted to study the brain by modeling the architecture
Rodrigo Lozano et.al., using two dimensional (2D) in vitro cell culturing methods. While those platforms
attempt to mimic the in vivo environment, they do not truly resemble the three
dimensional (3D) microstructure of neuronal tissues. Development of an
accurate in vitro model of the brain remains a significant obstacle to our understanding
of the functioning of the brain at the tissue or organ level. To address these obstacles,
we demonstrate a new method to bio print 3D brain-like structures consisting of
discrete layers of primary neural cells encapsulated in hydrogels. Brain-like structures
were constructed using a bio-ink consisting of a novel peptide-modified biopolymer,
gellan gum-RGD (RGD-GG), combined with primary cortical neurons.

Paper Design for additive manufacturing Author Ian The benefits and drawbacks of Additive Manufacturing Technologies enable designers
Gibson et.al to think beyond traditional design for manufacture and assembly constraints. AM has
unique geometric, material, and customization benefits not provided by other
production techniques. Likewise, AM has need for supports, typically produces
anisotropic properties, and may require considerable post-processing. These and other
benefits and drawbacks of AM have led to an increased emphasis on training designers
to Design for Additive Manufacturing.

CONCLUSION
Advantages:
• Design Flexibility: AM allows for intricate and complex designs, enabling innovative product development
with geometries difficult or impossible to achieve through conventional methods.
• Reduced Material Waste: Traditional subtractive manufacturing often results in significant material waste.
AM , on the other hand, builds objects layer by layer, minimizing waste and contributing to sustainability
efforts.
• Rapid Prototyping: AM accelerates the prototyping process, facilitating faster iterations in product
development cycles. This speed can lead to more efficient innovation and reduced time-to-market.
• Challenges:
• Material Limitations: The range of materials available for AM processes is expanding, but limitations still
exist. Some industries, like aerospace, demand specific material properties that may not be fully met by
current AM options.
• Quality Assurance: Ensuring consistent quality in AM products can be challenging. Variability in layer
adhesion, porosity, and other factors may impact the mechanical properties of the final product.
• Cost Considerations: While AM eliminates some costs associated with traditional manufacturing, initial
investment in equipment and materials, especially for high-performance applications, can be substantial.
