additive technology used to manufacture parts. It is ‘additive’ in that it doesn’t require a block of material or a mold to manufacture physical objects, it simply stacks and fuses layers of material. It’s typically fast, with low fixed setup costs, and can create more complex geometries than ‘traditional’ technologies, with an ever-expanding list of materials. It is used extensively in the engineering industry, particularly for prototyping and creating lightweight geometries.</p> <figure> <div class="h3d-video__container show-on-intersect"> <script type="text/template"> <iframe class="h3d-video__video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EF8CNR-gcXo?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> </script> </div> </figure> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="CNBJKPQtLiZ4MYYPo5BtO">3D printing and additive manufacturing</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>‘3D printing’ is commonly associated with maker culture, hobbyists and amateurs, desktop printers, accessible printing technologies like FDM and low-cost materials such as <a href="https://www.hubs.com/cnc-machining/plastic/abs/">ABS</a> and <a href="https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/plastic/pla/">PLA</a> (we’ll explain all those acronyms below). This is largely attributable to the democratization of 3D printing through affordable desktop machines that sprung from the RepRap movement, like the original MakerBot and Ultimaker, which also led to the explosion of 3D printing in 2009.</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/2Lhxn4WhscmCa82wiKsUaA/289899725b8101d97c4c8d26bd0fc775/An_FDM_3D_printer_in_action.jpg?w=900&q=75" alt="3D printing" title="Ultimaker FDM machine"></p> <p>By contrast, additive manufacturing (AM) is almost always associated with commercial and industrial applications.</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/43NVOdpCRNj7SxBFYlNUJK/e2f761e2d19cb301b03dc08539dca011/Man_working_with_a_3D_printer.jpeg" alt="Man working with a 3D printer" title="Commercial additive manufacturing"></p> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="1WRs90CpfoYNVKFZI7a47n">3D printing and rapid prototyping</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>‘Rapid prototyping’ is another phrase that’s sometimes used to refer to 3D printing technologies. This dates back to the early history of 3D printing when the technology first emerged. In the 1980s, when 3D printing techniques were first invented, they were referred to as rapid prototyping technologies because back then the technology was only suitable for prototypes, not production parts.</p> <p>In recent years, 3D printing has matured into an excellent solution for many kinds of production parts, and other manufacturing technologies (like CNC machining) have become cheaper and more accessible for prototyping. So while some people still use ‘rapid prototyping’ to refer to 3D printing, the phrase is evolving to refer to all forms of very fast prototyping.</p> <figure> <div class="h3d-video__container show-on-intersect"> <script type="text/template"> <iframe class="h3d-video__video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/raSAhXb2ea4?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> </script> </div> <figcaption>How to Prototype Like a Pro</figcaption> </figure> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="NPbfSyjfc1XE8aKvnvL7K">When was 3D printing invented?</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>3D printing began as an idea for accelerating industrial product development through faster prototyping. Even though there were a few patents beforehand, Chuck Hull is typically credited with the invention of the 3D printer via his Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA), patented in 1984.</p> <h4 id="foundations">Foundations</h4> <p>Despite Chuck’s fame, multiple technologies were being developed in parallel in the late 1980s, and there were several companies founded in this period that was critical to the development of the technology.</p> <ul> <li>1981 - the first patent for a device using UV light to cure photopolymers was awarded to Hideo Kodama in Japan. He designed it for ‘rapid prototyping’ as it was intended for making models and prototypes, but there was no interest and the patent was abandoned.</li> <li>1984 - French inventors Alain Le Mehaute, Olivier de Witte, and Jean Claude André submitted a patent in which, like Hideo’s, UV light was used to cure photopolymers. General Electric abandoned the patent citing a lack of significant business potential.</li> <li>1984 - only a few weeks after Le Mehaute, American Charles ‘Chuck’ Hull filed his own patent for an ‘Apparatus for Production of Three-Dimensional Objects by Stereolithography’, thus also coining the term ‘stereolithography’ (SLA).</li> <li>1987 - Hull invented the STL file, and in the same year founded <a href="https://www.3dsystems.com/our-story">3D Systems</a>.</li> <li>1987 - American Carl Deckard filed a patent for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and in the same year co-founded Desktop Manufacturing (DTM) Corp. (acquired by 3D Systems in 2001).</li> <li>1989 - American S. Scott Crump submits a patent for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and in the same year founded <a href="https://www.stratasys.com/corporate/about-us">Stratasys</a> with his wife.</li> </ul> <h4 id="commercialization">Commercialization</h4> <p>From the late 1980s to the early 1990s the industry underwent very rapid commercialization. The first machines were big and expensive and their makers competed for industrial prototyping contracts with mass-market manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, health, and consumer goods industries.</p> <ul> <li>1987 - 3D Systems released the first commercial SLA printer, the ‘SLA-1’.</li> <li>1992 - The FDM patent was finally granted to Stratasys, which led them to release the first FDM printer, the ‘3D Modeler’.</li> <li>1992 - DTM released the first commercial SLS printer, the ‘Sinterstation 2000’</li> <li>1994 - German company <a href="https://www.eos.info/en-us/about-us/who-we-are">Electro Optical Systems (EOS)</a>, founded in 1989, unveiled its ‘EOSINT M160’, the first commercial metal 3D printer</li> </ul> <h4 id="democratization">Democratization</h4> <p>In the early 2000s the fierce competition for profits, developments in material science, and the ending of many patents created an environment in which 3D printing finally became affordable for the masses. This was the decade that 3D printing took off in the popular imagination - manufacturing, which had always been the domain of heavy industry and big money, came to the people.</p> <ul> <li>2005 - The open-source <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RepRap_project">RepRap Project</a> (for ‘Replicated Rapid Prototyper’) launched with the aim of creating self-replicating 3D printers capable of printing their own parts, causing popular interest in the technology to skyrocket.</li> <li>2009 - Key FDM patents fell into the public domain and <a href="https://www.makerbot.com/">MakerBot</a> launched their desktop 3D printer, the ‘Cupcake CNC’. It cost hundreds of dollars, not thousands, and all components were downloadable from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/">Thingiverse</a>, a website dedicated to the sharing of user-created digital design files.</li> <li>2012 - <a href="https://formlabs.com/">Formlabs</a> release the ‘Form 1’, the first affordable SLA printer, through a record-breaking Kickstarter campaign that raised $2.95 million in funding.</li> <li>2013 - Protolabs Network launches as a peer-to-peer 3D printing service, allowing mass transactions between people buying prints and people with machines. It quickly grew to be the single biggest 3D printing platform in the world with over 50,000 printing ‘hubs’, before pivoting to focus on helping its business customers by making all forms of custom manufacturing more accessible.</li> <li>2014 - Key SLS patents fell into the public domain, leading to a whole crop of companies making smaller and more affordable SLS printers.</li> </ul> <figure> <div class="h3d-video__container show-on-intersect"> <script type="text/template"> <iframe class="h3d-video__video" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ks5c8r8UfPY?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> </script> </div> <figcaption>SLS 3D Printing - What is SLS 3D printing?</figcaption> </figure> <h4 id="maturity">Maturity</h4> <p>From 2018 the hype around 3D printing had largely disappeared from mass media, but interest in commercial applications for businesses of all sizes has never been higher.

To understand the major differences between additive and traditional manufacturing, let’s categorize all methods into 3 groups: additive, subtractive and formative manufacturing.</p> <h4 id="additive-manufacturing">Additive manufacturing</h4> <p>Additive manufacturing builds up 3D objects by depositing and fusing 2D layers of material.</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/2yz2wrY7BhINRVmGsFK7UO/18b9b0a9f1babad7346cbcd8656f4d4c/05_3D_Printing_Pillar_Page_Additive_manufacturing_01.jpg" alt="05 3D Printing Pillar Page Additive manufacturing 01"></p> <p>This method has almost no startup time or costs, making it ideal for prototyping. Parts can be made rapidly and discarded after use. Parts can also be produced in almost any geometry, which is one of the core strengths of 3D printing.</p> <p>One of the biggest limitations of 3D printing is that most parts are inherently anisotropic or not fully dense, meaning they usually lack the material and mechanical properties of parts made via subtractive or formative techniques. Due to fluctuations in cooling or curing conditions, different prints of the same part are also prone to slight variations, which puts limitations on consistency and repeatability.</p> <h4 id="subtractive-manufacturing">Subtractive manufacturing</h4> <p>Subtractive manufacturing, such as milling and turning, creates objects by removing (machining) material from a block of solid material that’s also often referred to as a ‘blank’.</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/1AAjWP6qmtvhT7CzHtoyJQ/1cddd79d145262ff38770264a8978f43/05_3D_Printing_Pillar_Page_Subtractive_manufacturing_01.jpg" alt="05 3D Printing Pillar Page Subtractive manufacturing 01"></p> <p>Almost any material can be machined in some way, making it a widely used technique. Because of the amount of control over every aspect of the process this method is capable of producing incredibly accurate parts with high repeatability. Most designs require Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) to plot customized tool paths and efficient material removal, which adds setup time and costs, but for the majority of designs, it’s the most cost-effective method of production.</p> <p>The major limitation of subtractive manufacturing is that the cutting tool must be able to reach all surfaces to remove material, which limits design complexity quite a lot. While machines like 5-axis machines eliminate some of these restrictions, complex parts still need to be re-orientated during the machining process, adding time and cost. Subtractive manufacturing is also a wasteful process due to the large amounts of material removed to produce the final part geometry.</p> <h4 id="formative-manufacturing">Formative manufacturing</h4> <p>Formative manufacturing, such as injection molding and stamping, creates objects by forming or molding materials into shape with heat and/or pressure.</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/0185YEgo3uzXmFTKevIchr/28e32a785d32315651868150d012c370/05_3D_Printing_Pillar_Page_Formative_manufacturing_01.jpg" alt="05 3D Printing Pillar Page Formative manufacturing 01"></p> <p>Formative techniques are designed to reduce the marginal cost of producing individual parts, but the creation of unique molds or machines used in the production process means setup costs are very, very high. Regardless, these techniques can produce parts in a large range of materials (both metals and plastics) with close to flawless repeatability, so for high volume <a href="https://www.hubs.com/production-orders/">production order</a>, they’re almost always the most cost-efficient.</p> <h4 id="how-these-methods-compare">How these methods compare</h4> <p>Manufacturing is complex, and there are too many dimensions for comprehensively comparing each method against all others. It is near impossible to optimize all at once for cost, speed, geometric complexity, materials, mechanical properties, surface finish, tolerances, and repeatability.</p> <p>In such complex situations heuristics and rules of thumb are more valuable:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Additive manufacturing</strong> is best for low volumes, complex designs, and when speed is essential.</li> <li><strong>Subtractive manufacturing</strong> is best for medium volumes, simple geometries, tight tolerances, and hard materials</li> <li><strong>Formative manufacturing</strong> is best for the high-volume production of identical parts.</li> </ul> <p>Cost per part is usually the governing factor determining which manufacturing process is best. As a rough approximation the unit costs per method can be visualized like this:</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/4g18dtDAJWIX78WrqUmroC/30f340287b3053811b971c67b2bb929b/05_3D_Printing_Pillar_Page_Chart_01.jpg" alt="05 3D Printing Pillar Page Chart 01"></p> <h4 id="learn-more-about-3d-printing-vs-cnc-machining">Learn more about 3D printing vs CNC machining.</h4> <p>3D printing is becoming cheaper every year and in some instances, it is starting to compete with injection molding for cost efficiency.

However, the possibility of using a post-processing technique like electroplating will depend on the material you’ve chosen to use, so be sure to consult with your manufacturing provider.</p> <p>If your 3D printed part was designed for a functional application, you might need to consider adding metal inserts for reinforcements or creating threads for screws so you can more easily assemble or attach your part to other parts.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="chapter active" data-chapter="chap"> <h2 class="chapter-title"> 3D printing software </h2> <article> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>3D printing starts with software and there are many different programs to aid with each stage of the design and printing process, from 3D modelling, to print simulations and slicer programs.</p> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="7BNjnkV8Q5Z52EtoWxglgI">What software should you use for 3D printing?</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>The two main methods of 3D modelling are ‘solid modelling’ and ‘surface modelling’, and there are different CAD software packages for each approach. Solid modelling refers to the creation of virtual objects through defining and joining 3D shapes that are usually predefined and to which refined surface details are added later. Surface modelling is similar except the designer starts with 2D surfaces and shapes them in ‘freeform’ to create 3D shapes.</p> <p>Both approaches can produce exactly the same output, but solid modelling is faster for simple and non-organic shapes, whereas surface modelling is faster for more organic shapes. SolidWorks, Fusion 360 and Rhino 3D are the most popular software with professionals, and there are many free programs for amateurs.</p> <p>Other useful 3D printing software include print simulation tools and file error fixers.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="chapter active" data-chapter="chap"> <h2 class="chapter-title"> 3D printing design guidelines </h2> <article> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>The exact best practices and rules of thumb vary between the different 3D printing technologies, but there are certain features you always need to pay attention to:</p> <ul> <li>Supported wall thickness</li> <li>Unsupported wall thickness</li> <li>Supports and overhangs</li> <li>Embossed and engraved details</li> <li>Horizontal bridges</li> <li>Holes</li> <li>Connecting or moving parts</li> <li>Escape holes</li> <li>Minimum feature size</li> <li>Minimum pin diameter</li> <li>Maximum tolerance</li> </ul> <p>The process-specific design rules for each of these features are summarized in the graphic below:</p> <img src="//images.ctfassets.net/q2hzfkp3j57e/3Ekh6RuNff4BOqvHKzK0a7/2af249ba44840c6a64671f6bee7fdc97/03_Design_rules_for_3D_printing_poster_crop.webp" alt="002-003-3DP-Rules-Poster Hubs DEF Thumbnail"></p> <p>Click <a href="https://www.hubs.com/get/3d-printing-design-rules/">here</a> to download a high-resolution version of this poster.</p> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="6qJgmvXhuttrA849RxaVwF">Design guidelines applicable for all 3D printing processes</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> </div> <div class="learn-more-articles"> <a class="article" href="/knowledge-base/3d-printing-geometry-restrictions/"> What can’t 3D printers do?

That’s why our manufacturers always place and use their 3D printers in areas that are properly ventilated, as well as make use of exhaust fans, fume hoods, or enclosures. Personal protective equipment (PPE) can also help decrease exposure to harmful emissions from hazardous materials.</p> <p>The high temperatures that 3D printers reach, as well as the exposed moving parts they have, can pose fire risks or cause injury not safely handled or regularly maintained. Our manufacturers train their employees to do this.</p> <p>The noise 3D printers create may also cause issues, depending on the type – and number – of 3D printers being used. Our manufacturers use hearing protection to avoid such issues, especially if their 3D printers are contained in a small, indoor space.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="chapter active" data-chapter="chap"> <h2 class="chapter-title"> Legal and ethical considerations </h2> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="3RUiP6iQdvNDxe6sYWTn6v">Regulations that might affect your project</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>Many of the legal and ethical considerations for 3D printing align rather closely with those for other, more traditional forms of manufacturing.</p> <p>For example, you must respect intellectual property (IP) rights of a design or part by having the right license to use it. This means you should not reproduce a copyrighted part without permission from the original creator.</p> <p>If you create or sell 3D printed parts, you are usually responsible for those parts’ safety and quality. This means you may be held liable should they not meet the safety or quality standards for certain industries or use cases.</p> <p>Ethical considerations of 3D printing predominantly center around the environment and sustainability.</p> <p>You can also consider using biodegradable materials when possible, which can help you reduce waste and operate more sustainably – and potentially help you reduce costs along the way.</p> </div> </article> </div> <div class="chapter active" data-chapter="chap"> <h2 class="chapter-title"> Applications of 3D printing </h2> <article> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>3D printing is exceptionally useful for prototyping. Speed is everything in prototyping, and the ability to move from CAD to print with close to zero set up costs means 3D printers can produce parts fast and have great unit economics for single-part and small runs.</p> <p>For printing production parts, speed and price are also important, but the characteristics most commonly exploited are design freedom and ease of customization. In aerospace and automotive, topology optimized structures with a high strength-to-weight ratio are used for high-performance parts, and components that previously required assembly can be consolidated into a single part. In healthcare, customization is critical - most hearing aids manufactured in the US are made almost exclusively using 3D printing. In manufacturing, low-run injection molds can be 3D printed from stiff, heat-resistant plastics instead of machined from metal, making them much cheaper and faster to produce.</p> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="2XBRRqZG84MTZuZg3DCD2i">Aerospace & aviation</h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>3D printing can help you create stronger, lighter, and complex parts for <a href="https://www.hubs.com/knowledge-base/aerospace-3d-printing-applications/">aerospace and aviation</a> applications, including jigs and fixtures, surrogate (or placeholder) parts, mounting brackets, and detailed, visual prototypes.</p> <p>You can create these parts with several types of 3D printing technologies, including <a href="https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/fdm/">Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)</a>, <a href="https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/sla-dlp/">Stereolithography (SLA)</a>, <a href="https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/sls/">Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)</a>, and <a href="https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/mjf/">Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)</a>.</p> <p>3D printing is also helping way designers and engineers approach aerospace and aviation-related challenges in innovative ways, because they can use advanced engineering materials and complex geometries, consolidate assemblies into single parts, and achieve specific surface finishes or tight tolerances for applications ranging from part validation to medium-sized production runs.</p> </div> </article> <article> <h3 class="article-title" data-article-title-id="5CpiOp0AFXEj5WeeqyfokQ">Industrial machinery </h3> <div class="article-content u-table-style--medium-narrow"> <p>Protolabs Network’s customers often use 3D printing to create prototypes, low-volume production runs, and parts with complex geometries for <a href="https://www.hubs.com/knowledge-base/how-to-manufacture-parts-for-industrial-machinery/">industrial machinery</a> applications.</p> <p>You can also use 3D printing to create specialized jigs and fixtures that can streamline machinery assembly – or even create durable components that are fit for hard-working, industrial environments.</p> <p>You can also use 3D printing to create on-demand replacements for industrial machines, which can greatly improve efficiency on the production floor.

Your design’s complexity, the material you want to create your part from, any necessary post-processing, and the time it takes to complete are all factors that can influence its cost.</p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item "> <h2 class="faq_title "> How easy is 3D printing actually? </h2> <div class="faq_body process-comparison-table process-comparison-table--show-mobile u-table-style--narrow list-with-checks"> <p>3D printing’s difficulty depends on how complex the part you want to create is, as well as the materials you use. Intricate or finely detailed designs, for example, are often more difficult to print than simpler ones. Additionally, some materials, like carbon fiber composites, are more difficult to work with than something more common, like PLA.</p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item "> <h2 class="faq_title "> How often do 3D prints fail? </h2> <div class="faq_body process-comparison-table process-comparison-table--show-mobile u-table-style--narrow list-with-checks"> <p>Incorrect print settings, poor bed adhesion, filament jams, design flaws, power interruptions, and other similar errors can cause a 3D print to fail. That said, you can take many steps to avoid 3D printing failures, such as using DFM techniques, working with an experienced manufacturer, and making sure that you are using the right type of 3D printing technology to create your part. </p> </div> </div> <div class="faq-item "> <h2 class="faq_title "> What is the biggest disadvantage of 3D printing? </h2> <div class="faq_body process-comparison-table process-comparison-table--show-mobile u-table-style--narrow list-with-checks"> <p>3D printing can be relatively slow compared to other methods of manufacturing. This means it is not always as well-suited to large-batch production. However, 3D printing can be a great manufacturing method for custom parts and prototypes. As long as you pay attention to your part’s application – and choose a manufacturing method accordingly – you can avoid many of the disadvantages of the technology.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
