The Allegory of the Cave is a hypothesis put into perspective by Plato, regarding human awareness. In the short story a group of prisoners have been confined in a cavern ever since birth with no knowledge of the outside world. They are chained facing a wall unable to turn their heads. While a fire behind them gives off a faint light. Sometimes people pass by carrying figures of animals and other objects that cast shadows on the wall. The prisoners believe that the shadows are real and they begin…

it will change their life. In both “Allegory Of The Cave” by the philosopher Plato, and The Matrix by the Wachowskis’, it can be seen that when man is blinded by his own ignorance and given an opportunity to learn, he is pained by the visions of enlightenment, but with time, will seek out those who are not as knowledgeable, and teach them his ways. In both “Allegory of the Cave” and The Matrix…

One major component within cyberpunk, deals with augmentations that are put upon the human being both physically and virtually. To put in perspective, one perfect example of augmentation that appears in Neuromancer, puts forward a…

I Am Number Four:Lost Files:Secret Histories is a series of three stories that all tie together in the end. These novellas tell you about how the Mogadorians don’t want you to know about how they operate. The Mogadorians appear “normal” but under their houses they have labs and other buildings where they monitor Loric activity. Their future plans to attack the planet Lorien, and about how the main character, Adam, turns on his own flesh and blood all plays out in a three part story called I Am…

ability to connect a 3D printed model to the 3D printer used for its production. The main objective focused on identification of physical characteristics of the 3D printed model that are caused by a specific 3D printer parameter. Two 3D printers were utilized in this research. The first is a Printrbot 3D printer (model 1404) running Marlin Firmware (version: 1.0.0 bedlevel metal- simple). The software used to communicate with the Printrbot 3D printer is Repetier-Host (version 0.56) running…

Risk Mitigation Plan Spectrum Marketing’s Sign Department is creating a risk mitigation plan to go hand and hand with the introduction of customizable 3-D printing. There are many different types of risk involved with rolling out this new product that will be identified in the plan below. The purpose of this plan is to prepare the company and lessen the projected risks of the new product launch. Each risk will include a strategy or guideline based on the likeliness of occurrence on how to…

mankind in advancing to the next step in their evolutionary chain. The 21st century 's latest technology is the 3D printer, a device capable of redefining day to day lives by printing all of our needs. It is claimed 3D printing will be an absolute positive technology to benefit mankind, but we will soon encounter situations where uncontrolled, illegal substances…

Three-dimensional Reconstruction by Lynnerup et al. (1997). In this case the skeletal remains are of a very fragile and delicate 7000 year old ancient Sumerian skeleton that was recovered in a block, preserving its soil matrix. A CT scan was performed on the skeletal material and soil matrix. The resulting image was process with software that allowed for differentiation between bone and soil by use of a grey-scale thresholding method; however, manual editing had to be done of the each single CT…

designing the hand for is only seven years old. However, after printing them, we quickly realized that they were far too small to be able to exert the force to grasp a water bottle. Furthermore, because they were so small, it was difficult for the 3D printer to print out the finger because the walls were so thin. This also meant that it was extremely difficult to get support material out, especially without damaging the finger. We resigned the fingers to be longer, and a bit thicker. We made…

According to the author, Holweg mentions that the global supply of products created by the 3-D printer will not replace the manufacturing plant, since 3D printing competes with manufacturing processes which are responsible in forming standard parts. Customization is a significant factor in the 3-D printing industry, but many people desire specific…
