Mary B. Halli, Narayana Swamy R

Abstract: Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D printing. 3D printing is achieved by translating the digital code into visible solid 3D model. Successive layers and printed one after the other by laying down the material (Additive Manufacturing). The print materials can be plastic, nylon, metal and many more, we can find its application in the field of aerospace, automation industries, manufacture and architectural engineering, construction of design industries, dental & medical fields and many more. The application in many of these fields is very rapid and also cost effective. The use of 3D printing is beneficial to the industries like medical, aerospace, manufacturing, automation and also consumer products in wider range. Thus providing the exciting technology to look forward for this paper seeking to explore the working procedure of 3D printing and its applications in today’s world and also for the future.

Keywords: 3D Printing, FDM Technique, Rapid Prototyping and Auto Bed Levelling.
