Core 1 - 3.7 3D Printer Flashcards
(4 cards)
3D Printer
-Creates a 3D model with various materials
-Additive means - it starts from nothing and builds accordingly
Pro:
Prototyping for cheap
Filament Printing
-Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): Melt filament to 3D print / Print a layer –> Go to the next layer –> repeat
Pro:
-Larger print bed than resin printer
-Minimal mess/disposal
-easy to use material
Resin Printing
-Stereolithography (SLA)
-Resin is hardened with ultraviolet light
-Prints from the bottom and is hanging from the print bed
Pro:
-Smoother/finer detail
Con:
-wear protective gear to handle material / additional resin must be disposed of properly
print bed
-flat adhesive surface
Filament Printing:
-Where the 3D model is created / printing surface
Resin Printing:
the location where the resin is hardened by the UV light
