ABSTRACT - In this study, Additive manufacturing
(AM) technologies enables the manufacturing of
parts or products directly from 3D CAD models. The
earliest 3D printing manufacturing equipment was
developed by Hideo Kodama of the Nagoya
Municipal Industrial Research Institute, when he
invented two additive methods for fabricating 3D
models. In distinction to the traditional methods of
manufacturing where in the raw material is
fabricated to the final product based on subtractive
principles, these Additive manufacturing processes
are based on additive principle for the part
manufacturing. Different Additive manufacturing
processes use different methodologies of adding up
the material to form the final product. Advantages
like manufacturing complex geometries, zero
tooling along with no human intervention,
manufacturing in single set-up etc., are few of them.
Additive manufacturing (AM) was developed
initially as a technique for rapid prototyping, to
visualize, test and authenticate a design, before end-
user production of the design. In recent years,
Additive Manufacturing (AM) technique Fused
Deposition modeling (FDM), has developed to
become a rapid manufacturing technique because
of the ability to produce complex parts layer-by-
layer in lesser production cycle time than as
compared to conventional machining processes.
During the last decade, Additive manufacturing has
attracted huge attention in various industries
ranging from manufacturing, medical, automotive
concept development etc., in developing products to
meet the expectations of both the designers as well
as manufacturers. Fused deposition modeling
(FDM) is one among those most popular Additive
manufacturing technologies where in the filaments
are added one beside other forming a layer, and
then layer upon layer to build the final product.
Besides the simplicity of operation like ability to
fabricate parts with locally controlled properties
with varied materials, fused deposition modeling
has resulted in manufacturing parts not only for
prototyping but also functional parts.

I INTRODUCTION
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a process for
developing rapid prototype (RP) objects by
depositing fused layers of material according to
numerically defined cross sectionalgeometry. The
quality of fused deposition modeling produced parts
is significantly affected by various parameters used in
the process. The object to be built is modeled using a
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software package.
Solid modelers, such as Pro/ENGINEER, tend to
represent 3-D objects more accurately than wire-
frame modelers such as AutoCAD, and will therefore
yield better results. The various CAD packages use a
number of different algorithms to represent solid
objects.To establish consistency, the STL (stereo-
lithography), the first RP technique) format has been
adopted as the standard of the rapid prototyping
industry.A structure support base is positioned on an
elevator structure and immersed in a tank of liquid
photosensitive monomer, with only a thin liquid film
above it. A UV laser locally cross-links the monomer
on the thin liquid film above the structure support
base.Additive manufacturing method where the cross
section of the detail is cut into a thin material which
is then successively glued to the previous layer and
cut to shape with a knife or laser cutter. Objects
printed with this technique may be additionally
modified by machining or drilling after printing.
