You can have three-dimensional drawings made with professional spellings!
3D printing is the process in which a design created digitally with special software such as AutoCAD drawing programs is transformed into a physical object. 3D printing is also called additive manufacturing, this is because it produces with the principle of adding material rather than the method of removing the material in old-type printing services. 3D printing service, which is one of the most advantageous technologies and techniques offered by developing technology, is realized by 3D printing places with special software. Now let's learn all the details about 3D printing.

How are 3D Printing Products Prepared?
The preparation of 3D printing products, which starts with the digital design process, is carried out step by step until the processes carried out after printing. For 3D printing models, a digital design is first created, and every detail is carefully planned in these modeling with AutoCAD 3D drawing software. Dimensions, shapes, structure and functionality are also highlighted in the AutoCAD drawing program. If 3D printing models are prepared to be produced in a different size or form, various variations called parametric design are also created automatically. The next step for 3D printing products is slicing.
After 3D printing models are prepared, slicing software is used to make them ready for printing layer by layer. Slicing in 3D printing service means the following; each layer that the printer will produce corresponds to the physical layers for 3D printing. In other words, the slicing software created for 3D printing models separates 3D printing products into thin layers.
If the 3D printing products have a complex structure, support structures are added and then the slicing process is completed and the G-Code command is generated on how and where the printer will use the layers. The 3D printing service process begins after the selection is made among the materials separated according to their use, durability and functions in 3D printing technologies. The time it takes to print each layer individually on a 3D printer varies according to the size and complexity of the model and the material used. Small and simple 3D printing products that are completed in a few hours on average, large-scale and complex 3D printing products that can take days to complete are prepared in this way. After the 3D printing models are completed, the support structures, if any, are removed so as not to damage the model. If the surface is rough, sanding, polishing and coating processes are performed. If a special color or design is considered, coloring and painting processes can also be done for 3D printing products.
For 3D Printing Products;
3D printers use STL (StereoLithography) and OBJ file formats.
What are 3D Printing Materials?
3D printing technology is suitable for the use of various materials. Thermoplastics are commonly used for 3D printing products and 3D printing models. 3D printing materials such as ABS, which stands out with its durability, PLA, FDM and PETG, which are easy to print, are frequently preferred. Liquid resins are used for precise 3D printing models with fine details. Metals with high durability are preferred for products to be produced with 3D printing technology for use in sectors such as automotive and aviation. Materials such as carbon fiber filled filaments and flexible TPU are used for 3D printing products with special functions. During 3D printing service, plastic is melted and joined (FDM), resin is cured with UV light (SLA/DLP) or powdered metal is laser sintered (SLS/DMLS).

How to Check 3D Printing Models?
When you receive 3D printing service, 3D printing products and 3D printing models go through quality control and testing stages before delivery. Questions such as whether the dimensions of 3D printing products are correct, whether the function is active, whether the needs and expectations are met are made during the 3D printing service control phase. In addition, after the product dimensions are checked with precision measuring instruments, functional tests are performed. For example, if moving 3D printing models are prepared, it is definitely checked whether they work smoothly. Finally, the 3D printing service is ended by examining its aesthetics, design, coloring and appearance.
