Abstract

Additive Manufacturing is the formalized term for what used to be called rapid prototyping and what is popularly called 3D Printing by adding layer-upon-layer of material, whether the material is plastic, metal,.etc. Stereolithography(STL) is the standard file type used by most additive manufacturing processes. This is the file type whichwill be saved from the 3D design software package, etc.solidwork.Most commonly the slicer and the client software are combined, making the conversion from STL file3D Print straight forward and simple. Before printing a 3D model from an STL file, it must first be examined forthe errors. The errors are surfaces or facets don’t meet and facets that are too thin. Software programs such as Meshmixer, Cura and Slic3r are examples, which will correct these issues.
