ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) or additive layer manufacturing is the commercial manufacturing name for 3-D printing, a computer-managed technique that creates 3-dimensional objects with the aid of using depositing materials, commonly in layers. These methods are categorised usually in line with the sort of material used as liquid-based, solid-based, and powder-based additive production methods. Solid based additive production is hugely used due to its ease of use, low price, and reasonably-priced material. Powder-based additive production is used for 3-D printing with metal substances. Metal additive production technology is the most costly among numerous additive manufacturing methods. Liquidbased additive manufacturing methods usually use photopolymer liquid resin as a raw material. It offers a completely high-quality surface finish therefore used withinside the jewelry industry and dental industry. The price of the liquid-based additive production technique is medium regarding solid-based and powder-based additive production methods. Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a liquid-based additive production technique. Keywords: Additive manufacturing, 3D printing, rapid prototyping, DLP 3D printing.

INTRODUCTION
Additive Manufacturing refers to a technique by which digital 3-D layout information is used to build up a physical component in layers with the aid of using depositing material. The term "3-D printing" is increasingly used as a synonym for Additive Manufacturing. Term Rapid Prototyping is also used for Additive Manufacturing. Rapid prototyping is a collection of strategies used to quickly fabricate a scale version of a physical component or assembly the use of 3-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) information. Construction of the component or assembly is generally carried out the use of 3-D printing or "additive layer manufacturing" technology. However, 3-D printing is a greater correct term, in that it describes an expert manufacturing approach which is different from traditional strategies of material removal. In Additive Manufacturing in preference to milling a workpiece from a solid block, builds up components layer by layer using materials that are available in high-quality powder form, a liquid form, or solid wire form. A variety of various metals, plastics, and composite materials can be used.

Tyge et al. (2015) mentioned the characterizing of DLP 3-D Printed Primitives, Studied the resolution and reproducibility of 3-D printing methods. Centroid, rectangularity, roughness, and tilt of the top of a primitive were observed. Concluded that standard deviations for these estimates were quite small. The method was shown to have high precision when compared to a visual inspection by an expert. www.irjmets.com

Figure 1: Additive Manufacturing Processes Along with Classes of Materials and Method of Deposition. Photopolymerization: 3-D printing technology encompasses numerous different methods that depend upon the identical primary strategy: a liquid photopolymer contained in a vat (or tank) is selectively cured by a light source. Layer by layer, a 3-D physical item is constructed till completion. In the light polymerization (or photopolymerization) techniques, specially photopolymer is used because of the building material. Common technology encompasses stereolithography (SLA), Polyjet, and digital light processing (DLP), and liquid crystal display (LCD) based projections. In DLP and LCD based projection approach, unlikely SLA, the projected picture hardens a layer of resin at a time till the complete 3-D model has been realized. In the SLA technology, a single UV laser beam movements alongside the surface of photo resins in a row by row fashion that consequences in localized polymerization and solidification. Solidification is repeated in a layer by layer way till a solid 3-D item emerges. Unlike laser-based commercially available SLA printers, which do now no longer provide the power of using a very small quantity of resins for printing, DLP printers are adaptable to custom-designed resin reservoirs and small volumes of photoreactive polymers. Digital Light Processing (DLP) system: Among the AM methods, Digital Light Processing (DLP) permits printing components approximately a hundred times quicker than classical ones as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling). Digital Light Processing (DLP) is an AM technology that utilizes the photopolymerization technique to manufacture 3-D objects. A DLP 3-D printer projects the picture of the component's cross-section onto the surface of the resin, while a normal video projector may be used in which the white light emitted affords sufficient UV light to resin polymerization. The exposed resin hardens at the same time as the machine's build platform (Z-axis) displaces “step by step�. DLP printing is low price and relatively precise as compared to maximum common printing techniques as FDM and SLS. Besides, a good printing speed makes this technique promising for more applications in general manufacturing.

TYPES OF DLP SYSTEM
There are mainly two types of DLP systems based on the direction of projection of sliced image and movement of the z-axis, bottom-up projection system, and top-bottom projection system. A bottom-up projection device has many benefits as compared to a top-bottom device. A bottom-up projection DLP system is typically preferred.

WORKING OF DLP SYSTEM
The 3-D geometry version of an object is first sliced into layers horizontally. The skinny layers are then transformed into 2D mask images. A light projection tool is employed to cure the photopolymer resin. It uses a digital masking method to project a dynamically described mask picture onto the resin surface of every layer. The digital overlaying technology particularly includes 3 types: liquid crystal display (LCD), digital micro-mirror device (DMD), and liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS). In a bottom-up projection device, the mask picture is projected onto the bottom of the resin tank and the newly cured resin adheres to the tank bottom and the cured component simultaneously. After one layer is cured, the platform is first lifted to separate the cured layer from the tank bottom and then pushed down to form an opening with the tank to cure the subsequent layer. The technique is repeated until the complete object is fabricated. Parameters affecting the quality of print in DLP system: Unlike different UV based 3-D printers, the DLP device lends the ability to personalize numerous printing parameters such as, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

CONCLUSION
The Quality of 3D prints of Digital Light Processing additive manufacturing process relies upon technically on seven parameters, particularly Layer thickness, the Curing time of each layer, Exposure time, Orientation, UV intensity, UV light source, Wavelength. But among them, Layer thickness and Exposure time, the Curing time of each layer (Off time), and The orientation of the model are the crucial parameters. By controlling these critical parameters, the quality of the 3-D prints and the time required for manufacturing can be controlled as per requirement.
