Selective laser sintering (SLS) • additive technique • layer of powder placed on base • high power laser used to fuse selected parts of the powder • the powder bed is lowered a small amount and a new layer of powder is spread • does not require any support structures EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 3

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) • additive technique • material is laid down in layers • plastic material is melted in a nozzle that moves in XY direction • typically uses ABS plastic • support material is required stratasys EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 5

Stereolithography (SLA) • additive process • uses a vat of liquid UV-curable resin and a UV laser • exposure to the laser causes the material to harden • after a pattern has been traced, the platform descends and a resin filled blade recoats the top • requires support structures EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 7

Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) • sheet is adhered to substrate with a heated roller • laser traces out the outline of the layer • non-part areas are crosshatched to facilitate removal of waste material • next layer is pulled across and the process is repeated EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 9

Electron beam melting (EBM) • metal parts are made from a metal powder • a layer of powder is spread and the part region is melted together by a computer controlled electron beam EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 11

3 D printing (3 DP) • “inkjet” type process • a fine powder of plaster or corn starch is bonded by “printing” an adhesive from the printhead • considered the fastest technique EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering zcorp 13

Steps to Create a Part 1. Model part (or assembly) in Solid. Works. 2. Save part (or assembly) file in. stl format. – Note: To save an assembly as one single. stl file, go to Options and check the box next to ‘ Save all components of an assembly in a single file’. 3. Run the Catalyst software. Orient the part on the build tray and send to rapid proto machine. EML 2023 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 23
