3D PRINTING-INTRODUCTION AND ALGORATHIM

The study is on add-on manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing. Additive manufacturing is different from traditional manufacturing that shape products through milling, grinding etc. Instead, with additive manufacturing, layers are added to a product. This permits for three dimensional manufacturing and limited scrap. Supplement manufacturing has been seen as a disruptive innovation for society because it allows consumers to manufacture their own products. In this paper, an overview will be shown on the status of additive manufacturing. This includes the consumer point of view as well as the manufacturing point of view. For example, the consumer perspective has intellectual property protection is major is problem. The running status of 3Dprinters will be provided together with an analysis of the main producers like Makerbot and Ultimaker (consumer markets) and Stratasys and 3D Systems (industrial markets), their models and their current capabilities and overall adoption. It is finalized that additive manufacturing is experiencing high growth but that, in specific for industrial applications. It is not yet competitive with traditional manufacturing systems.
