Building of Complex Structures through Fused Deposition Modelling

Abstract

This deals with study of 3-D printing and building a complex structure through fused deposition modelling using Stratasys 400mc. The study aimed to provide a general overview of 3-D printing such as its types, advantages, limitations and comparison with general manufacturing process. It is also referred as the technology of additive manufacturing and propagated equally as the industry of cellular telephone. An object can be printed from a template of digital content to a physical object in three dimensional is referred as 3D printing. It is implemented layer by layer by employing numerous material that including metal, plastic and nylon etc. There has been wide range of fields or sectors where 3D printing can be more effective in usage with quite faster and cost-effective solvent in various fields. The current applications of 3D printing enhancing and disclosing that the enthusiasm to have a look out on it. Hence, this article addresses the functioning of 3D printing, its current and future applications in different fields. The construction of a complex structure is done through fused deposition modelling. Here the “complex structure” refers to a general structure which is relatively complex to build using general machining processes / subtractive process. Additive Manufacturing replaces the limitations with a different set of restrictions used in conventional process. This experiment also addresses the challenges in building a nano complex structure through fused deposition modelling.
