Psychological considerations and sociological effects of 3D Printing The use of 3D printers will bring about many changes, the biggest being in the manufacturing industry. While most discussions about 3D printing are in regards to its impact on manufacturing, one of the underlying topics that is overlooked is the impact that 3D printing will have on society. The biggest case against 3D printing is its ability to make weapons. In 2013, 3D printing made headlines in the U.S. when the printers were successfully able to replicate working guns. There was outcry from the public, especially organizations that want stricter gun laws such as the “Women Against Gun Violence” and “Parents Against Gun Violence”. Some politicians showed concern on how…

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…

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),…

Introduction People download open-source 3D CAD files or implement their new designs on 3D printing software to prototype their essential projects. The 3D printer is a specialized or complicated device that enables humans to create their independent projects not only tailored to “personalized medicine” which relies on understanding a person’s genetic profile to identify and manage health problems, but also in the automotive industry, which rapid prototyping is used to test the functionality of…

The printer doesn’t care if it makes the most rudimentary shape or the most complex shape, and that is completely turning design and manufacturing on its head as we know it” (“What's next in 3D printing“). FDM Printers FDM is a common abbreviation for Fused Deposition Modeling. Fused Deposition Modeling is the process of “Heating thermoplastic until its melting point and then extruding it out of the printers nozzle onto the print bed, along a circulated path, slowly building the object…

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.…

Walk into a burgeoning classroom or administrative bureau and you will see a proliferation of printing equipment, ranging from color laser printers, mono laser printers, ink-jet printers and copiers. One of the institutions that benefits from the 3d printers are schools. 3d printer for school is an innovative machine that can make any printing chore a child's play. They can print speedily, they are precise and they can print out a hefty quantity of documents in no time. Schools are in need of…

When some people think of manufacturing in India, they imagine people working in crowded wooden huts, building largely outdated products, and lacking any sort of technological aid. However, what many fail to realize, is that this idea of Indian manufacturing is as outdated as India 's near century old labor laws. Indian manufacturing has progressed immensely in recent years. Even with India being projected to become a major worldwide manufacturing power by 2025, some still believe that the…

Generally the higher the production output of the firm, the lower the unit cost of their product will be. Besides output volume, the speed of production will determine the lead time from manufacture to delivery. High productivity will enable manufacturing firms to achieve shorter production cycles which equates to better competitiveness in their respective markets. Capacity management will determine how efficient the manufacturer will be in producing its goods. Over capacity will result in…
