Detailed introduction to 3D printing knowledge: What type of printer is yours?

Nowadays, more and more people know about 3D printers and use them for actual printing production, and with the promotion of 3D printing, more and more ordinary families are buying them.
So let’s talk about what preliminary knowledge you need if you want to enter the world of 3D printing.
First of all, you need to understand what type of printer you have and what materials it can use to print models.
1. Multi-head jetting: Generally used materials are resin, wax, etc. During printing, the nozzle jets out the molding material and support material. For plastic and dental equipment types, the support material is wax.
2. Laser melting: Commonly used materials are titanium alloy, cobalt-chromium alloy, stainless steel, and aluminum alloy. A high-energy ytterbium fiber laser is used to melt metal powder and form a model.
3. Laser sintering: The commonly used materials are nylon, metal powder, PS powder, and resin sand. Sintering is used to turn the powder into a tightly integrated overall model.
4. Stereolithographic printing: The material generally used is photosensitive resin. A laser of a specific wavelength and intensity is used to focus on the surface of the photocurable material so that it can be printed from point to point to form a model.
5. Fused deposition type: Commonly used printing materials are polylactic acid and ABS plastic. This technology uses a fused filament of filamentary material, such as thermoplastic, wax, or metal, to be extruded from a heated nozzle to print the model along a predetermined trajectory for each layer of the part.
Once you know what type of printer you have and what materials it can print, you can start making models. However, you still need to have some entry-level skills in the early stages.
First, you must be able to simply use modeling software, such as Sketch, Autodesk123D, 3Dsmax, Maya, etc. If you are not skilled, you can download the model from the website and use it directly, but it is not a personalized design model.
Second, if you want to customize the model, you must have some basic drawing skills and be able to draw the frame on the drawing.
Third, you must be proficient in using 3D printers. This general manufacturer will provide detailed training and after-sales service, so there is no need to worry.
When you get into 3D printing, understand it, and use it, you will find that 3D printing is not that mysterious. Perhaps this is another technological advancement in the world. In the future, it will be promoted to thousands of households. Just like the ordinary printers of the past, it is an important tool for individuals and families and a good helper for office work.
You can design and make your personalized model figures, you can also make cultural relics for scientific research, you can make small parts for daily use, you can also make various types of luminous characters, etc. In the future, there will be more and more people entering their 3D world.
