ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESSIt is a process by which digital 3D design data is utilised to design up a components in layers by layers by depositing material. The term “3D printing” is progressively used as a similarity for Additive manufacturing.Additive manufacturing use materials which are available in fine powder form.
History of additive manufacturing began in 1980 in Japan. The are different types of additive manufacturing one of them which is sterioligraphy which was created by Charles Hulls in 1983,then in three years later they create other type which is selective laser printing in the year1990.The aim of this report is to demonstrate the design of the pliers using the most widely what we call additive manufacturing process called Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). Fused Deposition Modelling is an type of additive manufacturing technology that is used for prototyping, modelling, and production applications.
The Fused Deposition Modelling is one amongst foremost common techniques used for the 3D printing. S. Scott Crump is the one who established this technology in the 1980s and was implemented in 1990. The technology that is used in the project to prototype a product, it is useful for bending, compression, cutting, and riveting flat or spherical stock of materials which are difficult to hold with fingers.Minimized costs of manufacturing the productDue to not so much material utilised in the product, the product is very affordable as most pliers are manufactured through traditional foundry processes which can be very costly because most of them are manually operated, thus the pricing also includes the labor costs of producing the product.This kind is manufactured through 3D manufacturing helps in decreasing the shelf cost of the product.
WeightOver the years most manufacturing tools have been redesigned over and over due to their discomfort in handling, with this pliers we have made it light in weight for proper handling and portability, in industries technicians can carry it around with ease and if dropped from specific height it will not cause a big damage to whatever or whoever it falls on.Unlike other pair of pliers, it can provide cutting features,For work involving cutting and skinning wires, cutting and removing pins, and other fasteners, it also be used to adjust bolts and nutsIt can apply limited torque (twisting force) without damaging the workCan be used to grip round square, flat and hexagon objects, this features make it unique to a pair of pliers which are built in one functionHow to utilize Auto work area 123D. I now see how the FDM procedure functions, where it can be connected5.7 CONCLUSION The FDM 3D printing is a simple, affordable technology for printing prototypes that is widely used for various products. The technology is cost effective and it is used in various organizations for printing parts at the lowest cost.
The technology is very powerful and uses materials of high strength and can be used by all organizations for printing prototypes
