The first step in any 3D printing manufacturing process is to design the model. Designers use 3D modeling software to create three-dimensional models of the required objects. This can be done through CAD software, computer graphics tools or 3D scanning technology. The design model is the basis for determining the shape and structure of each layer in the 3D printing process.
After the design model is completed, it needs to be converted into a series of horizontal slices. This process is called slicing, and slicing software breaks the 3D model into multiple layers of 2D sliced images. Each slice represents a layer of the object when printed.
Once the slices are complete, they are imported into the 3D printer’s control software. In this step, the user can select parameters such as the type of printing material, printing accuracy, and support structure. Additionally, the appropriate print speed and temperature need to be determined to ensure optimal printing results.
After the preparation work is completed, the 3D printer can start printing. During the printing process, the print head heats or solidifies the printing material layer by layer according to the instructions of the sliced image. These layers are gradually added together until the final three-dimensional object is constructed. This process can take minutes or hours, depending on the size and complexity of the object.
After printing is complete, the object needs to be removed from the print bed. Some objects may require additional post-processing steps, such as removal of support structures, to improve manufacturing quality. Support structures are additional material added during the printing process to support overhangs and overhangs of an object. These support structures are usually dissolvable or easily removable and can be removed using scissors, strippers, or water soaking.
In addition to removing support structures, some 3D printed objects also require surface treatment. This may include steps such as sanding, polishing or painting to enhance the smoothness, look and feel of the object. Surface treatment can improve the texture of the product and make it more in line with the design requirements
In the final stage, the printed object needs to be inspected and tested to ensure that its size and functionality are as expected. Technicians will use measuring tools and testing equipment to evaluate the object to ensure its quality meets standard requirements. If there are any flaws or imperfections, they can be improved by redesigning the model and adjusting printing parameters.
