Binder Jetting – this is the technology where the term 3D printing came from since it uses inkjet printer heads that selectively bind powder together.

Common analogies are a glue gun or icing a cake. This takes a filament of material and pulls it through a heated nozzle to the point of melting and is deposited where it is needed.

Material Extrusion – commonly known as FDM or Fused Deposition Modelling pioneered by Stratasys.

So what are the types of additive manufacturing? This offers significant freedoms of the geometry that can be produced as there is no other material in the way. Each layer is joined to the last by way of a binder, melting or curing. The reason they can achieve what was previously impossible is they build up parts/component/products/things a layer at a time. There are six or seven types of AM techniques, all of which are quite different but in most cases achieve what was impossible to produce using traditional methods. It is an industry standard term (ASTM F2792 and ISO TC261) for all techniques that use this process.

The Robot Bike is a high-end custom endurance bike that was designed in SOLIDWORKS and printed on a Selective Laser Melting machineĪdditive manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new catchall term for the latest techniques for making things, starting with nothing, building up material layer by layer directly from 3D data. Let’s start with the easiest to differentiate: Additive versus Subtractive. One thing I have been asked many times when I tell people what I have been working on at SOLIDWORKS is what the meanings of these relatively new terms are.

Not sure what the difference is? Read on… There will be specific learning paths for the Internet of Things (IoT), Model Based Definition (MBD) and two for Manufacturing – Subtractive and Additive. Attend four out of the six sessions for a given path, and you will qualify for a special MySolidWorks Certificate.

This year for the first time, we are offering four specially tailored Learning Paths, each with a mini-general session to kick things off, followed by six certified sessions and finishing with a panel discussion. This year at SOLIDWORKS World we don’t just have over 200 break-out sessions for you to gain additional insight into design automation, electrical design, simulation or PDM.
