Abstract

Fused Deposition modeling technology is used for product manufacturing using advanced materials by
Rapid Prototyping. Prototypes can be generated using RPT by various materials like Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
(ABS), polyamide, polycarbonate, polyethylene, and polypropylene. The subtractive fabrication can create a complete
shape effectively, though at the expense of material being wasted.Alternatively, the final desired part is manufactured by
adding multiple layers of material on top of one another in additive fabrication process. The innovative idea behind this
method is that the three dimensional CAD model is sliced into many thin layers and this geometric data is used to build
the material layer by layer. This “layered manufacturing” or “direct digital manufacturing” technique eliminates any
fault caused by human skills and intervention in traditional fabrication of component and comparably is time saving.
