Sažetak
3D printing process is a novel and propulsive way of digital fabrication. By employing the well developed technique of ink-jetting one type of material onto the other type and thus binding them together, it enables the fast and accurate production of complex three-dimensional objects. Although this process is called printing, strong links between 3D printing and the 2D printing techniques, used for transferring the information usually onto a kind of printing substrate, do not exist. 3D printing technique is a type of rapid prototyping (RP) process. It has been developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and licensed to various companies in diverse fields of use. The process technology itself is based on Ink Jet printing ; it employs a similar method of jetting the binder material in a form of controlled droplets which join the powder particles together. In a 3D color printer, the color inks make part of the binder solution. 3D printing process functions by building parts in layers, which have been sliced by the computer algorithms from the CAD model of the desired object. Nowadays, 3D printing is used in various fields and areas, such as architecture, engineering, GIS, medicine, product development, concept modeling, direct casting and art. The method can be used as a function of 2D printing as well, therefore the application of 3D printing in conventional printing technology was studied. Physical and mechanical characteristics of printed 3D material were determined in order to verify its use as flexographic printing plate directly or as a negative matrix for conventional photopolymer flexographic printing plate production.
