  2. 3D printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

    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 the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.

  3. Selective laser melting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_laser_melting

    Selective laser melting ( SLM) is one of many proprietary names [1] for a metal additive manufacturing (AM) technology that uses a bed of powder with a source of heat to create metal parts. Also known as direct metal laser sintering ( DMLS ), the ASTM standard term is powder bed fusion ( PBF ). PBF is a rapid prototyping, 3D printing, or ...

  4. 3D printing processes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing_processes

    Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) is a solid-state metal additive manufacturing process that uses a rotating tool to deposit feedstock material onto a substrate. AFSD offers a number of advantages over other metal additive manufacturing processes, including high material utilization, low energy consumption, and the ability to print metal ...

  5. Rapid prototyping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_prototyping

    3D model slicing. Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design ( CAD) data. [1] [2] Construction of the part or assembly is usually done using 3D printing or "additive layer manufacturing" technology. [3]

  6. Design for additive manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_for_Additive...

    Design for additive manufacturing ( DfAM or DFAM) is design for manufacturability as applied to additive manufacturing (AM). It is a general type of design methods or tools whereby functional performance and/or other key product life-cycle considerations such as manufacturability, reliability, and cost can be optimized subjected to the ...

  7. Fused filament fabrication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fused_filament_fabrication

    Fused filament fabrication ( FFF ), also known as fused deposition modeling (with the trademarked acronym FDM ), or filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. [1] Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer extruder head, and is deposited on the ...

  8. Electron-beam additive manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_additive...

    Electron-beam additive manufacturing, or electron-beam melting ( EBM) is a type of additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, for metal parts. The raw material (metal powder or wire) is placed under a vacuum and fused together from heating by an electron beam. This technique is distinct from selective laser sintering as the raw material fuses have ...

  9. Digital manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_manufacturing

    Digital manufacturing is an integrated approach to manufacturing that is centered around a computer system. [1] [citation needed] The transition to digital manufacturing has become more popular with the rise in the quantity and quality of computer systems in manufacturing plants. As more automated tools have become used in manufacturing plants ...
