• Additive Manufacturing is the technology that
  builds 3D objects by adding layer-upon-layer of
  material, be it plastic, metal, concrete. What is
  common to it is the use of computers, 3D
  modelling software, such as Computer Aided Design
  (CAD), machine equipment and layering material.
  At 3E-PD, we are a team of expert designers who
  hold finesse to draw a CAD sketch, once it is
  produced, the additive manufacturing equipment
  reads in data from the CAD file and lays downs or
  adds successive layers of liquid, powder, sheet
  material, etc. This is done to effectively at
  3E-PD wherein a layer-upon-layer is placed in
  fashion to fabricate a 3D object.

• The term additive manufacturing encompasses many
  technologies, comprising subsets like 3D
  Printing, Rapid Prototyping (RP), Direct Digital
  Manufacturing (DDM), layered manufacturing and
  additive fabrication. Of late, additive
  manufacturing have been brought to use in order
  to fabricate end-use products in aircraft, dental
  restorations, medical implants, automobiles, and
  even fashion products. The skilled team of 3E-PD
  aims at rapid delivery and ensures huge savings
  for you. Herein, we perform additive and
  subtractive manufacturing together on a single
  platform with one supplier. This results in
  saving of time and streamlines communication
  thereby optimising your build. Also, we combine
  3D metal printing and high-precision CNC
  machining, under one roof and offer you a
  finished product. With all of our finishing
  techniques at your disposal, we make complex and
  accurate parts ready for immediate use in your
  most demanding technical applications.

Functional Principle

• The system starts by applying a thin layer of the
  powder material to the building platform. A
  powerful laser beam then fuses the powder at
  exactly the points defined by the
  computer-generated component design data. The
  platform is then lowered and another layer of
  powder is applied. Once again the material is
  fused so as to bond with the layer below at the
  predefined points. Depending on the material
  used, components can be manufactured using
  stereolithography, laser sintering or 3D
  printing. EOS Additive Manufacturing Technology
  based on laser sintering has been in existence
  for over 20 years.

Examples of Additive Manufacturing (AM)

• SLAVery high end technology utilizing laser
  technology to cure layer-upon-layer of
  photopolymer resin (polymer that changes
  properties when exposed to light).
• FDMProcess oriented involving use of
  thermoplastic (polymer that changes to a liquid
  upon the application of heat and solidifies to a
  solid when cooled) materials injected through
  indexing nozzles onto a platform. 
• MJMMulti-Jet Modeling is similar to an inkjet
  printer in that a head, capable of shuttling back
  and forth (3 dimensions-x, y, z)) incorporates
  hundreds of small jets to apply a layer of
  thermopolymer material, layer-by-layer.
• 3DPThis involves building a model in a
  container filled with powder of either starch or
  plaster based material. An inkjet printer head
  shuttles applies a small amount of binder to form
  a layer.
