INTRODUCTION
A model or component is modelled on a CAD-CAM

system.
The solid or surface model to be built is next converted

into a format dubbed the STL file format.

In this, the model is sliced into cross-sections. These

cross-sections are recreated though the solidification of either liquids or powders and then combined to form a 3D model.

HISTORY OF AM SYSTEMS
In the late 1960s, Herbert Voelcker developed the basic

mathematical tools needed to unambiguously describe three-dimensional parts.

In 1986, 3D systems was founded by Charles W. Hull and

Raymond Freed which commercialized the SLA systems.

In 1987, University of Texas researcher Carl Deckard

imagined "printing" 3-D models by using laser light to fuse metallic powder into solid prototypes, one layer at a time.

HISTORY OF AM SYSTEMS
In 1989, EOS was founded and is today a world leader

in laser sintering systems.

In 1993, 3DP technology forms the basis of Z

Corporations licensed prototyping process.

In 1997, first 3D printer was commercialized. In 2000, first colour 3D printer was launched.

SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING

3D Systems acquired DTM Corporation, the

original company that first introduced the SLS technology, in August 2001.
Involves

the same process as the StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA), except that the material used is in the form of powder.

Works on the principle of sinter bonding.

SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING

SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING

Strengths: Wide range of processing materials. No part supports required. No post-curing required. Little post-processing required. Weaknesses: Large physical size of the unit. High power consumption. Poor surface finish.

Z CORPORATIONS 3D PRINTING
3DP technology originally invented, patented and

developed at the Massachusetts Technology (MIT) in 1993.

Institute

of

3DP creates parts by a layered printing process and

adhesive bonding based on sliced cross-sectional data.

RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENT USING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Cornell University researchers showed it's possible by

creating a replacement ear using a 3D printer and injections of living cells.

The work reported on February 22, 2013 is the first step

toward one day growing customised new ears for children born with malformed ones, or people who lose one to accident or disease.
