In the past ten years technology has had a massive boom, from the ability to access the internet from virtually any location, to things like having a PC in your pocket. One form of technology that has been getting very large in the past few years is 3D printing. 3D printing is essentially the use of a 3D printer to create tangible objects. The history of 3D printing goes farther back than you think, the process to print everything is very similar, and there are many uses. With 3D printing, one can print almost anything they can think of. People have printed many things like a piece of chocolate or even live organs. 3D printers have been linked all the way back to 1952 as an adaption of Computer Numeric Controlled machines which were early computers wired to milling machines (Martin Bowden, & Merrill, 2014, 31). The milling machines would start with one big solid piece of material and then use lasers and water-jet cutting to shave off material until the desired result was achieved (Martin et al., 2014, 31). This is quite the difference from 3D printers nowadays because the more modern printers print out material instead of shaving off material. These machines were used because the reliability and accuracy of a …show more content…
Art is one area where 3D printers can really make things happen. The ability to design anything you want and then be able to print it means there can be a whole lot of different 3D printed art, this type of art goes as far as your imagination can go. There are uses in the home as well. You can print a working clock, gears for some type of machine, door knobs, and more. This technology has use for educational purposes also. For example, you can print a skeleton model for your classroom to teach anatomy. You can print 3D models for classwork with different things such as an atom or even a human organ. You can also print prototypes for projects that students may be working on
3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. 3D printing was invented in the mid 1980s and was initially known as additive manufacturing. It consists of the fabrication of products through the use of printers which either employ lasers to burn materials (sintering) or place layer upon layer of material (known as stereolithography), eventually resulting in a finished item. Unlike the traditional manufacturing process, which involves milling, drilling, grinding or forging molded items to make the final product, 3D printing “forms” the product layer by layer. There are many different technological variants but almost every existing, 3D printing machine functions in a similar way: a 3D computer-aided engineering (CAD) file is sliced into a series of 2D planar sections and these are deposited by the printer, one above the other, to construct the part.

A Lithograph was produced by firstly drawing the image on a flat stone surface in an oil based medium, the stone is then moistened with water which is repelled by the oil the surface is then inked with an oil based ink which is unable to adhere to the wet surface. A Chromolithograph is a coloured picture produced by making and superimposing multiple lithographic prints, each of which adds a different colour. The process of colour lithography was first experimented with in the early 1800s by Aloys Senefelder the inventor of lithography, while ‘chromolithography’ was patented in 1837 by a French printer Godefroy Engelmann.

Something all young people consider is what they wish to do for the rest of their lives.
The Foundry, defined by Joel Garreau in his book called The Nine Nations of North America, is an area compiled of cities in the Northeast Corridor such as New York City and Philadelphia to the cities near The Great Lakes. The Foundry is located in the Northeastern section of the Continental U.S. With cities such as NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, and others, The Foundry is by far the most populous area in the United States. The common characteristic that ties most of the cities in The Foundry to each other is industrialization, thus the Northeast also being dubbed the “Rust Belt” (Rust Belt). Even though it is the Industrial heart of the U.S., The Foundry is not limited to coal and manufacturing, but stretches out to agriculture as well. That being said, to truly get an understanding about The Foundry, one would have to go back to the Age of Industrialization to appreciate the string that ties these cities together. But even with such a big part of history tying The Foundry together, every city and area in it, whether small or big, has its own unique taste and culture that differentiates one from the other. From their physical geographies to their cultures, each make up what the United States is, a land of diversity. From Detroit, Michigan’s Motown Blues and Chicago’s Great Lakes to New York City’s Broadway, Ivy League schools, and Niagara Falls, The Foundry is made up of a variety of people, land, and cultures.
Throughout history, there have been many inventions to help humans communicate, such as the telephone, typewriter, and many more. One great milestone was the printing press. The printing press was invented in 1,450 CE by Johannes Gutenberg. The printing press is a machine that could quickly mass produce books at a cheap cost. He created the invention in Germany. The printing press lead to a higher distribution in books at a lower price. As a result, the literacy rate was increased and more people were able to learn about science, religion, and geology.
These include healing burn victims, soldiers in the army, or those who are injured with deep wounds. Not only does it help patients heal twice as fast, it is more sanitary and leads to less risk of infection. Bioprinting can also eliminate animal and human testing, providing a safer and more eco friendly method of testing items such as cosmetics or medicines, since the bioprinter makes it so easy for skin to be accessible for testing. It also makes organs accessible to thousands of those on an organ transplant list very simply by incubating and cloning patient cells to create organs. Cloning now has taken a much different turn than what was thought in the past with science fiction movies. It is no longer freakish and grotesque, but rather useful and critical in saving many
Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1440 to multiply written documents easily, making books cheaper and more nationally available. In 1798, Alois Senefelder invented Lithography to copy graphical designs, developing the culture of advertising (wet-canvas, no given date, Jules Cheret: the father of the modern poster). Ho...
The Evolution of Lithography In 1796 the Bavarian Aloys Senefelder invented Lithography, which is a cheap technique of printing text or artwork onto paper. (Meggs & Purvis, 2012) Lithography is a Greek homonymous word, (from lithos “stone” and graphein “to write”. It is a different type of printing, which focused on a chemical fact that oil and water cannot be mixed. (Meggs & Purvis, 2012)
People nowadays might get the impression that the 3D printing technology is a relatively new concept in our daily life. However, 3D printing technology is invented and utilized in many fields such as creating human organs in healthcare, building architectural models in engineering, even forming components that can be used in aeronautic fields long ago. Since Charles W. Hull has invented the 3D printing technology in the 1980s, scientists, engineers, and even normal people were and still are trying to discover more possibility of the usages and changes on this technology. Same as every invention of the new technology, with its undeniable beneficial effects, 3D printing also faces lots of limitations
Johannes Gutenberg who was a German goldsmith, developed the printing press “in Mainz, Germany between 1446 and 1450” (Ditttmar, 1133). The printing press was made to print books, newspapers, and flyers. The machine was made from wood and was based off screw presses, that worked with inked movable type heads that allowed the paper to be quickly and efficiently pressed with letters. The type head was made by pouring a
The process starts with a concept or idea.(Mashable) The first stage of 3D printing is planning out this concept with either computer aided design or animation modeling software. There are tons of programs out there today with these capabilities. Google SketchUp for example is known for being easy to use.(3ders) Using some easy tools that can be learned quickly, edges and faces can come together to make very intricate models. It can even be used with Google Earth. All those models of the world in that software are made in what is basically the same process digitally. Blender is the free 3D creation program that exists for the needs of major operating systems.(3ders) It is a high end software containing features that are much more capable than Google SketchUp. Tinkercad is a newer way of creating designs for 3D printers and works slightly faster than the others.(3ders) Containing only three simple tools, it’s effectiveness for creating models is among the best..
We have all heard of 3D printing, but have you heard of 4D printing? Probably not. 4D printing takes the same technologies of 3D printing, but with a slight change, objects printed in the fourth dimension have new abilities. 4D objects will be able to alter their shape or appearance over time. 4D printing allows you to think outside of the box, perhaps even producing weapons that can assemble themselves. One of the limitations of 3D printing, wherein a printer lays down successive layers of material like plastic to create objects as diverse as guns and toys, is that assembly is often required, but 4D printing offers the ability to make things that literally pull themselves together. navesti izvor i datum pristupa: http://www.livescience.com/40888-army-4d-printing-grant.html
Technology has gone from colorless block televisions and giant computer to computers you could fit on your fingertip and televisions that are flat and 3 Dimensional. Now they even are making holograms and televisions that go into an even better quality of graphics. There are thousands
