Multifunction printer

It offers rapid prototyping and can create finished parts on the go with great precision. The complexity with which it prints these parts is almost impossible to replicate using traditional methods. 3D printer printed jet fuel nozzles in one piece and they are 33% lighter and stronger than the cast version. The design took 6 weeks instead of usual 6 months. 3D printed parts are lighter compared to the parts that were made of solid materials. The ability…

Plastics (Phenolic resins, Epoxy resins, Polyesters and Polyurethanes) are materials which make up the objects which we use in our everyday lives such as phones, cars, cooking utensils, computers and shoes, (http://www.slideshare.net). Plastics are a group of material which can either be synthetic or naturally occurring. Plastics are considered as polymers a substance which has a molecular structure with a large number of units bonded together, (http://www.chemheritage.org). Most plastics are…

Have you ever wondered where you will end up in the future? Where you want to be, who you want to be, or what you want to do? When I grow up, I want to work at Pixar making the scenes and characters that you see in the animated movies. It’s a long road to get there, but it’s one that I’m willing to take. To create the movies you see in the theaters, Pixar uses Blender (not the one on the kitchen counter), Gimp, and many physical art forms too. Blender is where you create the models, animate…

learned new things with Tinkercad. I learned how to make designs with different shapes and learned what 3D printing was actually like. It was difficult at first but then I got the hang of it and I started to love it. I created an earbud holder that was a mouse that actually worked out pretty well. It took a lot of time and processing to create it and print it. It also took a lot of creativity to make it unique and interesting. There are some different things that I had in mind before making a…

Printmaking is an art form that involves the creation of a master piece of artwork from which multiple images are made. These prints are considered original works of art even though they can exist in multiples. This art is one of the oldest forms of art in the world. Historically, printmaking was used to spread religious ideas or images. The process originated in China at around 105 A.D. but it did not gain more use in Europe until around the mid-15th century. Printmaking today is practiced as…

impact on the economy. 3D printers are going to be “that piece of technology” to change and mold the way to the future. The printers are already starting to impact the way facilities are able to produce their products. One of the largest benefits of facilities using the 3D printers is, there is no to minimal waste of the material. By not using extra material and having to reprocess it saves money for the company thus reducing the cost for the consumer for the product. 3D printers are not just…

on softwares that help the 3D printing process including AutoCad, Sketchbook, Homestyler, and others; they have built these other programs to help prevent other industries economic downturns from affecting their company. Instead of working on the printer itself, this company, Autodesk, is focused on the software. In the next five years, Autodesk is predicted to grow 16.85%. Another solid 3D printing stock to invest in is Stratasys. This company is more focused on the actual printing rather…

though these chemicals are toxic, they were “well below regulatory limits.” (par. 16) Though this is reassuring, some caution should still be used when using a 3D printer; for example, allow for proper ventilation, monitor all use of the printer, and allow the printed item to cool for a reasonable amount of time before taking it out of the printer. This would have a slight negative effect on the economy since some consumers may not have been originally aware of this issue; they may shy away from…

medium (L) –Printer There are different types of printers like the dot matrix printer, the ink jet printer and the laser jet printer and the colour laser jet printer. The dot matrix printer is a type of computer printer with a print head that prints by impact, by shaking an ink soaked ribbon against the paper just like an old typewriter. Cost -£50-£150 Low quality and noisy and print in black and white. Ink jet printer sprays dots of ink onto the paper to create an image, inkjet printers are…

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 through to print out each item. Funny enough, the printer uses paper to get the builds printed and it’s no special kind of paper, it’s just ordinary…
