3D PRINTER

3D Printing uses software that slices the 3D model into layers (0.01mm thick or less in most cases). Each layer is then traced onto the build plate by the printer, once the pattern is completed, the build plate is lowered and the next layer is added on top of the previous one. The manufacturing process is an important phase and it’s become the major concern in manufacturing industries. Many industries uses the traditional manufacturing process for the product development which is time consuming, expensive and it requires skilled labour which inturn leads to huge investment for the development of product. These are the problems which originate due to the use of the current conventional methods. So keeping all these in observance, it is planned to study and develop the indigenous machine works on Rapid prototyping technique (3D printers).
The 3D printers are devices that can create a three-dimensional object from a digital model. The product is manufactured by adding material layer by layer and fusing these layers together. These machines can capable of doing complex and difficult tasks in one long step and it only requires a 3D model of the object to be made with a defined set of parameters and scaling ratios, which can then be converted into G-code. This data is then used for controlling the motors and extruding plastic, based on the G-code generated. These G-codes guide the machine to produce the part according to the requisite design. It’s an easy, economic and doesn’t require intense labour for processing. In this present work, a FDM based 3D printer is designed and the work is carried out using CATIA V5R21 software, further developed the working model.
