3D printing

waste in design and manufacturing with regard to the nature and future sustainability of practices considered modern by contemporary standards. Practices, such as CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining and additive manufacturing such as 3D printing, are the benchmark for modern manufacturing; 'In the domain of manufacturing, computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology is a major contributor to the production capacity of the enterprises...resources can be utilized interchangeably…

this idea of duplication as opposed to original generation is the modern phenomenon of three-dimensional or 3D printing. There has been a huge amount of interest following 3D printing as it has transcended from a futuristic figment of the imagination to a shelf-stocked product in a number of years and can be purchased today from just €230. The incredibly innovative sensation that is 3D printing is seen to be completely ahead of its time and to have come out of nowhere. In the 1980s and 1990s…

3-D Printing Prosthetics by Cameron Norman There are between 10 and 15 million amputees in the world. People who go through the hardship of losing a limb go through an incredible amount of pain each day. Not only this, but attempting to get a prosthetic limb that may allow them to function as they used to, is not only a difficult, costly process but it also does not lessen the emotional pain of having to live without a limb. With 3D Printing becoming an increasingly popular new technology,…

“3D printing is an additive (layer-by-layer) manufacturing method that creates 3- dimensional objects using a printer from a digital file.”[1] It allowed manufacturing to use less tooling; to be more cost effective due to the reduced amount of raw material needed; and also to be able to manufacture complex shaped objects that traditional molding could not achieve.[2] However, 3D printing doesn’t only rely on one single technique. There are different types of techniques that would deliver the…

20th century, the invention of three dimensional (3D) printing would have certainly created havoc. Considering the fact that computers and technology leading up to 3D printing were still in the works, it would be surprising if people were not…

3D printing is a technology that is constantly evolving and finding better was to take what you image and to materialize into the reality and with this new product they have taken another step further. The Mcor ARKe is the world first 3D printer that can print and build multicolored 3D designs. Designed by a new contender who is coming out on the stage of 3D printing called Mcor Technologies. The secret to this printer lies in what the printer uses for its material and the process it goes…

3D printing is a mechanical process where solid objects are created by ‘printing’ successive layers of material to replicate a shape modeled in a computer has been adopted in numerous industries. Many people can benefit from this kind of technology such as wounded warriors that may have lost limbs in combat, or even those that have dysfunctional organs and could use a new organ. The creator of 3D printing, Charles Hull, on August 8th 1984 filed for a patent on his photo solidification apparatus.…

Over the past twenty years, 3d printing has made its presence known within mainstream media. The first appearance of 3d printing in modern cinematography was released in 1998. The movie was titled “Small Soldiers” and it featured a scene where a toy was made layer by layer due to a laser, much like how a SLA printer functions. SLA printers are one of many different types of 3d printing commonly available today. The other most notable variety of 3d printing is FDM. FDM printers and SLA Printers…

with 3d printing Did you know that prosthetics range up to $5000 to $100000 of dollars and plastic surgery can range up to $8000 and grafts range up to $3000 all of the can be fixed much easier by using medical grade 3d printed materials that are custom fit and won't break the bank. 3D printing helps put people in a better life by lowering medical bills for prosthetics and plastic surgery. Saving money 3d printing for medical purposes. Additive manufacturing(am), also better known as 3d…

face to reconstruct the other half with 3D printing (Griffiths, 2013). Since 3D printing has evolved from what it was 20 years ago, his facial reconstruction surgery made it seem as if nothing had happened to his face. 3D printing has found its way into everything that we do in life. We have managed to create functioning cars with 3D printing technology. 3D printing doesn’t just consist of making cool life like objects, it helps saves lives everyday. 3D printing is the process of making a three…
