3-D Printing, How In The World Does This Work. Confused! by Billyzone4: 7:35pm On Nov 10, 2015 |
I Have been confused since i heard the word 3-D Printing. How DoEs It Work, I Just Can't seem to understand the write ups when researching it. DoEs It Print Out Things With Its Own Printer? DoEs It Make Solid Objects? How The Hell It Works I CanT Fantom. So Am AskIng Anyone To Enlighten Me In This Aspect Of Technology. if possible with pictures of the damn printing machine. Thank You. Ps; i would appreciate it a way i can understand in english. And Expert Answers Thanks Again. |

first, i'd advice you to get some background on three dimensional geometry. don't worry, it's quite easy and is in the secondary school curriculum. 1 Like |

Haha, 3d printing is a way of creating objects using the process of additive manufacturing. Carving a piece of wood uses subtractive manufacturing 'cos you're subtracting parts from a big block of wood in order to form another object. So using that example, you should now know what i mean by additive manufacturing. The 3d printer works on the same principles as a CNC mill, it also works on 3 axes- the X, Y and Z axes. A filament extruder which melts the plastic material follows these three axes in order to replicate a 3D design which you'll input from your computer. Then it presses it out from a tiny nozzle and arranges it layer by layer in order to form an object. . . . . . If you've got any other questions, by all means, do fire on |

simply put, whatever you wanna ''print'' is first drawn on a computer with its software, the computer is connected to the 3-d printer, the machine then prints to specification. different materials are used but PVC and plastic are the most common |
