3. WHAT IS “MAKING?” THE MAKER CULTURE IS A CONTEMPORARY CULTURE OR SUBCULTURE REPRESENTING A TECHNOLOGY-BASED EXTENSION OF DIY CULTURE. TYPICAL INTERESTS ENJOYED BY THE MAKER CULTURE INCLUDE ENGINEERING-ORIENTED PURSUITS SUCH AS ELECTRONICS, ROBOTICS, 3-D PRINTING, AND THE USE OF CNC TOOLS, AS WELL AS MORE TRADITIONAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS METALWORKING, WOODWORKING, AND TRADITIONAL ARTS AND CRAFTS. THE SUBCULTURE STRESSES NEW AND UNIQUE APPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGIES, AND ENCOURAGES INVENTION AND PROTOTYPING.[1] THERE IS A STRONG FOCUS ON USING AND LEARNING PRACTICAL SKILLS AND APPLYING THEM CREATIVELY.

9. 3D PRINTING – 5 MAJOR TYPES STEREO LITHOGRAPHY (SLA) SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS) POWDER BED PRINTING MATERIAL JETTING FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM) 92/3/2015

10. STEREO LITHOGRAPHY (SLA) THE ORIGINAL 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY CREATED BY CHARLES W. HULL IN 1984 USES LIGHT TO CURE A LIQUID PHOTOSENSITIVE RESIN LAYER BY LAYER AVAILABLE AS DESKTOP MODELS SUCH AS FORM1+ FROM MIT STARTUP FORMLABS APPLICATIONS: VERY DETAILED PROTOTYPES (INCLUDING MEDICAL MODELS) & CASTING PATTERNS 102/3/2015

11. SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING (SLS) USES A HIGH POWER LASER TO SELECTIVELY FUSE (SINTER) MATERIALS (USUALLY POWDERS) TO GENERATE A SOLID 3D OBJECT USES THE UN-FUSED POWDER AS SUPPORTS FOR THE PRINT MATERIALS RANGE FROM POLYMERS LIKE NYLON TO METALS INCLUDING STEEL AND TITANIUM. APPLICATIONS: PROTOTYPES WITH INTER-OPERATING PARTS, CASTING PATTERNS, SMALL PRODUCTION RUNS 112/3/2015

12. POWDER BED PRINTING FIRST DEVELOPED AT MIT IN 1993 USES A BED OF POWDER AND A BINDER APPLIED USING INKJET PRINT HEADS TO FORM 3D OBJECTS COMMON POWDER: GYPSUM PLASTER COMMON BINDER: CYANOACRYLATE (COLORED) CAN PRINT OBJECTS IN FULL COLOR (USUALLY JUST THE OUTER FEW LAYERS) ALSO USES UN-BOUND POWDER TO SUPPORT DURING PRINT PROCESS APPLICATIONS: PROTOTYPES WITH FULL COLOR, CASTING PATTERNS, AND MOLDS 122/3/2015

13. PERSONAL EXAMPLE OF POWDER BED PRINTING 132/3/2015

14. MATERIAL JETTING OR MULTIJET MODELING USE INKJET PRINT HEADS TO “JET” LIQUIDS THAT ARE THEN IMMEDIATELY HARDENED PHOTOPOLYMERS LIKE SLA USES OR WAX-LIKE MATERIALS THAT ARE SOLID ARE ROOM TEMP CAN APPLY MULTIPLE MATERIALS AT THE SAME TIME USING MULTIPLE PRINT HEADS REQUIRES SUPPORT STRUCTURES THAT ARE DISSOLVED OR MELTED AWAY APPLICATIONS: PROTOTYPES WITH INTER-OPERATING PARTS, CASTING PATTERNS, TOOLS FOR INJECTION MOLDING 142/3/2015

15. FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM) OR FUSED FILAMENT FABRICATION (FFF) PLASTIC FILAMENT (OR PELLETS) ARE MELTED DOWN AND EXTRUDED THROUGH A NOZZLE NOZZLE (AND/OR) BUILD PLATFORM MOVE TO PRINT EACH LAYER AVAILABLE AS DESKTOP PRINTERS SUCH AS MAKERBOT REP-RAP UTILIMAKER APPLICATIONS: FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES, SUPPORT PARTS, AND SMALL RUN PRODUCTION 152/3/2015
