1. 3D printing and molten wire deposition process: background
1.1 Principle of 3D printing
3D printing is an automated manufacturing process that produces a three-dimensional object, layer by layer, from a computer-aided design (CAD) model, under the control of a computer.
The 3D printing timeline is divided into five main stages: firstly, a digital file is generated from a CAD model of the desired part. The CAD model can be created in one of two ways: by drawing the part using CAD software, or using a scanning technique such as a 3D scanner. The digital model is then transferred to a file, the most commonly used format being STL (Standard Tesselation Language). The .stl file is then loaded into 3D printing software called a "slicer". This software "slices" the digital model layer...
