5 Technologies and Materials

6 Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Thermoplastics: ABS, PLA (hybrid material) + Ease of use + Low cost - Difficult to control tolerance and precision 3dprintingforbeginners.com/3d-printing-technology/

7 Photopolymerisation (SLA) technabob.com/blog/2008/10/23/cosmically-cool-lamp-3d-laser-printing/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3d_printing iopscience.iop.org/ /6/1/015003/article

8 Polyjet iopscience.iop.org/ /6/1/015003/article

9 Selective Sintering SLS: Plastic, metal SHS DMLS: Stainless steel, cobalt-chrome, titanium.. EBM (Electron Beam Melting): titanium, Co-Cr + saves materials (up to 90%) - rough finish

10 Three Dimensional Printing (3DP) + Cheaper than SLS + Textured parts + Colours possible - Rough finish - Brittle parts

11 Laminated Object Manufacturing + Size + Speed -complex forms - Important finishing work

20 New business models Italian company Barilla is looking to equip restaurants with 3D food printers, allowing customers to design and print their own custom pasta. They want to be able to print pieces of pasta in under two minutes. According to reports, Barilla aims to offer customers cartridges of dough that they can insert into a 3D printer to create their own pasta designs

21 Supply chain management - service field Identification Request to OEM Packing Shipping Customs Delivery Installation Identification Print part Installation US army now sends 3D printers on the battle field
