Businesses are constantly increasing their demand for printed products. As books, magazines, flyers, and other materials circulate throughout the consumer circle, the demand for those materials increases. Individuals see the products that others have and see the necessity in procuring them. Therefore, more people are seeking printed materials in education, the workplace, and for enjoyment creating a need for high quality machines, toners, and inks that can handle the work overload. As a result,…
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…
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 function in relatively the same way, but both function differently, and are meant for much different purposes. However, no matter which form of printing you choose, you will be able to produce and prototype your projects, no matter the complexity. During…
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…
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…
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. It was approved and became the first three dimensional printer known to man. 3D printing is changing the world of healthcare. New advancements in technology are springing up in the healthcare industry – one of those being 3D printing. 3D printing allows…
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…
The improvement of human life 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),…
progressively advancing for tremendous changes in the healthcare fields. These changes will not only save lives, but will give patients quicker, cheaper, and more precise care in many aspects. A new cutting edge technology available today in medicine is 3D printers with computer aided drafting software to create designs that can actually mold medical devices and parts for patient care. Even though 3D printing was invented in the 1980s, new software and technology had emerged from this mechanism…
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…
