Solid Object Printing is a device that can print 3D object with different layer making it a solid 3d product. It consists of numerous numbers of layer which is compiled and form a whole object. Various fields use this technology, like for production of sample designs.
Firstly I made a 3D design in auto cad software. This is a prototype of a aquarium stand, an interior element design. 3D design in computer help us to understand the how the design will look but the 3D print help us to feel the design as we can see how it will look in real form.
The auto cad 3d is then export as .3ds format so that it can be imported from 3D max software to render. The rendering is done mapping texture picture in it.
The file is then export as .STL format to open for 3D printing process with zprint software.
Set the unit to use like inch, meter and then scale it if required.
The 3d object can be edited with z edit if texture is required to be set through this software.
The steps were followed as instructed by the printing software to make sure that the printer is working properly and the printer is ready to print our object.
After everything is set, the print can be done and estimate time to finish is also given.
The object was very thin in some parts so some of its part was broken when they were taken out from printer. Some of the parts were fixed with glue (Z bond) and the final object was ready applying glue all over making it strong enough.
