*also known as ‘additive manufacturing’ (AM)*
.
(‘3D printing’ refers to processes used to synthesize a ‘3-dimensional object’ in which ‘successive layers of material’ are formed under ‘computer control’ to create an ‘object’)
(‘objects’ can be of almost any ‘shape’ or ‘geometry’ and are produced using ‘digital model data’ from a ‘3D model’ or another ‘electronic data source’ such as an “additive manufacturing file” (AMF) file)
(futurologist ‘jeremy rifkin’ claimed that ‘3D printing’ (or ‘AM’ (???)) signals the beginning of a ‘3rd industrial revolution’, succeeding the ‘production line assembly’ that dominated ‘manufacturing’ starting in the ‘late 1800s’)
(the term “3D printing” was initially a reference to a ‘process’ that deposits a ‘binder material’ onto a ‘powder bed’ with ‘inkjet printer heads’ layer by layer)
(more recently, the ‘term’ is being used in ‘popular vernacular’ to encompass a wider variety of ‘additive manufacturing techniques’)
(‘united states’ + ‘global’ technical standards use the official term additive manufacturing for this broader sense)
.
(‘ISO/ASTM52900-15’ defines 7 categories of ‘AM processes’ within its meaning…)
‘binder jetting’
‘directed energy deposition’
‘material extrusion’
‘material jetting’
‘powder bed fusion’
‘sheet lamination’
‘vat photopolymerization’
