Mention some advanteages and disadvantages of 3d printing over conventional manufacturing methods

Hi Shriya!

3D Printing are time efficient, effort efficient. There are various advantages of 3D Printing over Conventional Manufacturing Methods.

1) Advantages

• Flexible Design
• Rapid Prototyping
• Prints continuously
• Strong and Lightweight Parts
• Fast Design and Production
• Minimising Waste
• Cost Effective
• Ease of Access
• Environment friendly
• Advanced Healthcare

2) Disadvantages

• Limited Materials
• Restricted Build Size
• Post Processing
• Large Volumes
• Part Structure
• Reduction in Manufacturing Jobs
• Design Inaccuracies

Hope this is helpful!

All the best!

Hello

Below are the Advantages:

• No material wastage.
• Not constrained in the complex geometrical features like undercuts and internal features, and can be achieved with high accuracy.
• Bad programming in AM machines results in the bad build of the part but in CNC machine could result in severe damage to the machine and may even be a human safety risk.

Now coming to the Disadvantages:

• High-speed CNC machining can generally remove material much faster than AM machines can add a similar volume of material.
• AM parts may have voids or anisotropy because of part orientation, etc., whereas CNC parts will normally be more homogeneous and predictable in quality.

Good Luck
