Printing

“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…

The Printing Press affected life as everyone knew it during the Renaissance because it changed how information was spread, resulting in how people started to question how the Bible was being interpreted by the Catholic Church. In the 1450’s Johannes Gutenberg, a goldsmith, invented the first practical Printing Press. The Printing Press had two important consequences, the Age of Exploration and the Protestant Reformation. The Protestant Reformation was the most important of the two because the…

3D Printing and the Additive Manufacturing Process Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process where an object is created by adding layer-upon-layer of material. This basic process requires the use of a computer, CAD software, the material(s) and the appropriate machine to fabricate the end result. AM has been used in many applications. At first, it was used in Rapid Prototyping (RP). Today, AM is used to create end-products used in many different applications, from aerospace, automotive and…

opportunities, as well as obstacles, that aid or hinder 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…

Printing has been an intrinsic part of our life since the invention of paper. As a first means of communication, paper opened up a great deal of opportunities for people. Printing industry has undergone a variety of changes since the 90s. Jigar Shah, Founder of iPrint shares “I remember my dad bringing in one of the first Mac Machine with 4-5 different fonts in 90s with no regional language support! From letter pressing to printing, everything was manual. Today the scenario has completely…

period of drastic change which brought about new innovations. A technological innovation, the printing press, was among these new ideas. We read newspapers, books, and see advertisements daily without considering where any of it originated. Well, it all started with the printing press. This essay will discuss the origins, the evolution, and the impact the printing press has had on todays society. The printing press originated in the early 15th century in Germany. It was a combination of…

Printing started off way back long ago. The was introduced in Europe by Johannes Gutenberg which is a goldsmith by profession around the year 1436. His press has made many contribution to the modern world and the world of typography. He has made printing easier , cheaper and faster compared to the traditional woodblock printing process. During his time he made a hand mould to create metal movable type. This has helped printing to be more efficient. There are a few significant contribution from…

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…

The printing press was invented by the German Johannes Gutenberg around 1440s.The printing press made books easier and cheaper to produce, which increased the number of books, and lowered the cost of books so that more people could learn to read and get more reading materials.It made it easier to spread materials through the time of The Renaissance and the Reformation.It spread religious beliefs and eventually even led to the first translation of the Bible. The invention of the…

Military: - 3D printing technology has the potential to play a crucial role in combat. Military applications often need custom designed and miniaturized units. 3D printing can support rapid production and development to fulfill the specialized functional requirements of the military. Army is already using 3D printing in combat zones. 3D printing can influence strategies and tactics of future aerial combat and Air Force is looking into the advanced manufacturing capabilities that 3D printing has…
