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…

to be a great investment for society. Since 1986, three-dimensional printing has made a positive impact on society. What is known today as three-dimensional printing can most accurately be traced back to the year 1986. Charles Hull invented his stereolithography apparatus machine in 1983 and patented it in 1986. This was the beginning of the three-dimensional printing craze that has helped so many people around the world. After the machine was patented, Hull co-founded the world’s first…

Sometime in January was thinking of a business idea, and I stumbled across 3D printing. I thought, “Why not make a 3D printing business.” On February 12th, I woke up, and knew that it was my birthday, and that I was getting a 3D printer. My Aunt and Uncle took me to the 3D printing store, called STAX, where in a box, the parts of my new 3D printer were waiting to be assembled. That day I spent six hours with a printer specialist assembling my new Printrbot 3D printer. That night I was so…

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.…

For our article topic we chose to use 3D printing, a manufacturing process that incorporates technology and has rapidly been gaining popularity and technological advances. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these…

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…
