Frequently Asked Questions


What is 3D Printing ?

3D printing is referred as additive manufacturing or desktop fabrication. It is a prototyping process in which 3D design is converted into 3D object. The digital 3D design saved in STL format is sent to a 3D printer. It prints the design layer by layer to form a real object.


What are 3D printing technologies ?

3D printing technology has been in use from more than a decad; however, with emergence of digital technology and equipment, it became easy and economical. The most widely used 3D printing technologies are – SLS - Selective Laser Sintering FDM - Fused Depostion Modeling or Filament Layered modelling SLA - Stereolithograhpy MJM: Multi jet Manufacturing SLS and FDM technologies use melting or softening materials to produce layers of object. The selection of technology and printers mainly depend on certain factors like printing speed, printing cost, printer cost, choice and cost of materials and colors in printing.


What are 3D printing applications? Where it is used ?

Affordable 3D printing technology has made it possible to use it in making toys to aerospace components. Medical industry also uses 3D printing to produce model body parts to ease surgeries and operations. 3D printing is used in a wide variety of niche including making jewelry, art, architecture, fashion design, interior design etc.


How 3D printer works ?

3D printers are different from other PC printers. There are different 3D printing technologies and different 3D printing materials used for 3D printing. However; the basic principle of all 3D printers is similar. A digital 3D design is sent to 3D printer. This design file is scanned and slices into thousands of horizontal layers. 3D printer prints the design layer by layer to form a real object. Thousands of thin layers are joined together in this process.


What are the materials used to print 3D objects ?

In 3D printing, different materials can be used such as PLA, Polyamide(nylon), ABS plastic, glass filled polyamide, photopolymers, wax, silver, titanium, steel, polycarbonate, stereolithography materials i.e. epoxy resins etc.


What is the 3D printing Process involving ABS material ?

3D printing process with ABS also well-known as Fused Deposition Modeling is layered manufacturing process. This process offers functional prototypes with ABS, and other materials like PLA.
