3D printing is known as computer modeling or alternative construction. It is a process of creating a real object from a 3D model sample. 3D printer is a professional device, which uses a method of layering to create physical objects from a digital 3D model. After creating the model in any 3D software it needs to be saved as an STL file, after what it needs to be checked in some other softwares for errors and then transmitted to the 3D printer. Throughout the course we learned some of the methods used to create those models. The research is a detailed explanation of 3 main technologies, for example SLA, SLS with the advantages and disadvantages of those.
SLA – Is a 3D printing technique, which is using a raw material in the form of liquid

Autonomous, when the print head is located on its own chassis and this construction is moved entirely at the expense of a propeller, resulting the movement of the chassis.
4. Handmade, when the print head is in the form of pen and the user himself puts it in the place of the space. This device is called 3D-pen.
One of the most important areas for the application of 3D printing is medicine. By using 3D printing surgeons can design the layouts of the body parts one needs to operate. They need only few hours to produce the part they need. Today, almost everything, aerospace industry, kid’s toys, are being produced by 3D printing. It is also very used to create jewelry, works of art, architecture, fashion, interior design and food. After learning all this about 3D printing my conclusion is I like the use of it, and sometimes it is an easier way to produce 3D models, but it still has to be developed a lot, since the prices are yet not so affordable and I don’t think that the idea of having everything 3D printed is good, since the upcoming generations will lose the value of handmade and artisanal stuff and many talented people will lose their job, just because now everything is in the hands of technology and new machines, that are able to do anything that seems impossible to be done by
Do you like colors? What if I asked you to make a single sharpie? Would you be able to complete that simple task without instructions? As hard as it may seem, it is actually quite simple. The process is a few simple tasks added up to a big task. Sharpie parts are first made in the molding department of a factory. These parts are then sent to the assembly department. In assembly, the logo and names are pressed onto the tubes and the pieces are put together. After assembly, they move to packaging. There, the sharpies are put in packages and shipped out as finished product.
One of the most exciting new technologies being developed today is the manufacture of replacement body parts to be used to treat illnesses in humans. Today, this is accomplished in part through the use of bio-printing to 3-D print living cells into more complex structures. In the movie, The Fifth Element, there is a scene that takes this technology to the extreme and manufactures an entirely new human. The process used in the movie starts from a sample of one cell, preserved inside of a metal gauntlet, and then proceeds to recreate the person whose cell that used to be. The print in the movie is physically done by creating one part of the body, such as the skeleton, at a time. The entire print in the movie only takes around two minutes.
It is predicted that humans will come a long way throughout the 2st century, hopefully eliminating the possibility for amputees to have a disadvantaged life. 3D printing is set out to be one of the most revolutionary technologies of this decade and will continue to impress on the biological front. Thanks to the use of 3D printing, new limbs can be printed with exceptionally accuracy for a infinitesimal cost. Even in the year 2017, new limbs can be printed for less than $100 USD per person making it a cheap alternative to more “advanced” prosthetic
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) plays an important role in treating bone diseases related to osteoporosis and other orthopedic treatments. Although several methods are used in orthopedic surgery, some bone transport methods such as autografting and allografting have a certain number of disadvantages. Both are expensive methods and they can be exposed to infections and diseases. Therefore, in stead of using these potential risky methods, bone tissue engineering process are used to treat in orthopedic treatments. In general, both tissue engineering and bone tissue engineering have major constituents including stem cells, scaffold, bioreactors and growth factors.
3D printing, the process of making 3-Dimensional solid objects from a digital model, is now a turning into a revolution. With the price, stretching from many thousands to the cheapest, at $350, this technology can be used in the simplest boutiques and labs to the largest of industries. Mainstream media is only now popularizing 3D printing, although it has been around for decades. Being able to print absolutely anything, with almost any industrial material, it has already set up many debates for a positive or negative future.
The field of bioprinting, using 3D printing technology for producing live cells with extreme accuracy, could be the answer to many of the problems we as humans face in the medical field. It could be the end to organ waiting lists and an alternative for organ transplants. In 3D printing technology lies the potential to replace the testing of new drugs on animals. However, the idea of applying 3 dimensional printing to the health industry is still quite new and yet to have a major impact. Manufacturing working 3D organs remains an enormous challenge, but in theory could solve major issues present today.
3D Printing: Every year the 3D printing equipment becomes more advanced and user friendly. 3D printing goes hand in hand with e-commerce. The ability to purchase an item online and simply print it out at your home and office may eventually eliminate the need for large numbers of traditional stores, and lower overhead costs. Eventually, smaller product inventory will be needed, since people can print the items at home. This is of course a future possibility, none the less, it should be considered a viable opportunity.
In 1983, the first 3D printers were created, and began a revolution in the technology world. These printers are just starting to reach their potential, and can be used in almost every field of work that exists. Just recently 3D printing has started to affect the medical industry and they can be used in many ways. One of these ways is by 3D printing organs made from your own cells. Many people believe that this is just science fiction, but recent developments show that 3D organ printing is not too far away. Right now in the US and countries all around the world there is an enormous shortage of organs and 3D printing could help to solve this crisis.
To put it more vividly, the printing process of a 3D printer is like making a melaleuca cake with various materials. And “the materials”, as the inventor of this technology Charles W. Hull once wrote, “include polymers, metals, ceramics, composites, food, probably other things, too”. So, imagine these materials can be melted like cream and stretched as thin as the hairline. The printer uses these lines to draw the outline of the object based on the inputted or scanned blueprint firstly and then overlaps the lines upon the previous frame just like decorating the cake with cream.
CADD is essential to some choice occupations. Most occupations have the possibility to use CADD in the process of making goods. Whether it be from designing an item or getting a better three-deminsional view of a product.
4D printing offers the ability to make things that literally pull themselves together. The technology could also create objects that last longer than their 3D-printed counterparts and adapt to specific conditions on command. 4D printing is relay about using a 3d printer to print self requfingering programmable material. For example you have a non-living object that can change his shape and behavior over time kind like a robot but no microprocessors, in fact something that looks like a plastic. Skylar Tibet’s, the man who came up with whole idea has gone even fodder; he created a programmable sheet material. It look like a plastic, that in combination with the water it could change the shape in the cube. And the cube is just a beginning. It will be a million of shapes. It could be so useful, not just on the Earth but in the orbit as well. This idea could change the world, and living on it. Imagine you could just print your furniture. An...
3D an ever-growing technology that started in the 1800’s, started as photography and grew into a visual success, this report is going to look into the history of 3D technology and go through the how its was originally created to how its created now, to the formats that is used and what to expected in the future. Going to discuss the different styles and variations of the technology and how it has become a great success, and how there could come an end to the technology as there has been a decline in interest and the distribution of 3D Technology.
The technology and complex foundation of additive manufacturing (AM) or more commonly known as 3D printing is still being widely explored through trial and error processes to improve this innovative field. Consumer goods such as clothes, food, decoration, household objects and tools, fragrance and so much more has good prospect within the spectrum of AM applications. The 3D printing machine enable industrial designers, mechanical engineer, packaging designers, graphic artists, marketing staff, fashion designers, interior designers and the like to create prototypes efficiently. How is timing more efficient with AM? Time to market shrink significantly as the 3D printer help designers and engineer bring their creation to life swiftly. All matters of aesthetics and functionality can be seen and reformed for optimal quality with AM.
The topic I have selected for my essay will be on 3D printing in education, I chose this emerging technology because of my place of work and how 3D printing may be involved their within the next few years. This would require me to research how 3D printers work and how to operate them. I also believe that having 3D printers in schools will generate a new wave of creative children in the future. In this essay I will be showing how a 3D printer works and how the machines operate. I will be providing example on why I think 3D printing is important for education, as well as showing what hurdles 3D printing has to overcome in regards to Intellectual property rights and the legality of what you can and cannot print.
