3D Printing Case Study Ppt

3D Printing will democratize the manufacturing industry. Will allow startups and cottage industries become competitive by embracing the same technologies that.

• 3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, with material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

• the 3D printing technology in th e following fields; 27% to 52% in production of parts, 23% to 39% in bridge production, 14% to 38% in repair in maintenance, and 30% to 37% in jigs, fixtures and.

• Key example: Leveraging the geometric freedom of 3d printing to make customized/low volume parts Similar to - automotive, aerospace, automotive Design Freedom Geometric Freedom Low Volume Manufacturing Challenges with 3D Printing Limited and high cost of materials Unreliability of machines 20% reject rate Challenges scaling up technology Speed IP
