3D printing

what is 3D printing

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

what i have learned from 3d printing

1-the materials that are comanly used is plastic,metal, graphite, and carbon fiber 2-3D printers needs high temperature to melts the raw material 3-3D printing can do a hard shapes other machines can’t do

how i designed my part

1-i used first fusion360 to design my part , then i used ultimaker cura to make the 3D printer print it .

2- the difference between 3D printer and any other machine is that 3D printer can’t do the job subtractively. because it is done layer by layer, and the layer should be in a specific temperature.

first

i downloaded Ultimaker cura ,which is 3D printing program,that converts the design from digital information into a physical design



afte that

i used fusions 360 to design tha part that i want to print






### then i used cura program to print my design




and this is the result

3D scanning

what is 3D scanning

3D scanning is the process of analyzing a real-world object, person or environment to collect data.

for the 3D scanning i downloaded qlone program wich is a program that we can use to scan a part and convert it to 3D picture

then i got my bart that i want to scan and picture it

and this is the result

fusion file

f3d

stl
