The invention of printing/ press by Johann Gutenberg in the XV century was one of the events that completely changed the history of reading and the circulation of ideas worldwide. Gutenberg made his dream come true. After years of research and hard work, he took his hands assets in book form, printed with a unique and impressive technique, the press with movable type. The printing mold was not a new technique because of China and its gravure printing, but now, with the creation of Gutenberg…

In the world of printmaking, the relief print is the most well known and commonly used form throughout the centuries. In relief printmaking, the parts of the printing surface that carry ink are raised while the remaining areas are cut away. The oldest kind of relief prints are woodcuts, where a (smooth) block of wood is used as the medium. Woodcut does not offers very little in the way of color, so most artists have to work in black and white only. If an artist wants to add color, he/she needs…

for next year’s special Exhibition. An object rich in history and culture would be Gutenberg’s printing press. This object was the invention that historians consider changed how civilization evolved. This change is often compared to when humans discovered iron which ended the Neolithic Era (new stone age) and entered the Age of Empire (also known as the Iron Age). Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press that revolutionized society by making books readily cheaper and available during…

times. Initially the fingers that were constructed for the hand seemed to work and look fine in our Solidworks assembly. We did not want the fingers to be too large as the girl were were 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…

The printing press revolutionized the way humans communicate their thoughts and ideas during the Renaissance. Before the printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg, the production speed of literary works was not very fast because they were hand-written by scribes and for them to finish a small book would take months of hard work. The ideas spread through these works were only about religion because the labor that is put in these were constrained by the church. When the printing press was…

The art of lithography and chromolithography is one that has particularly strong roots in America. Originally used to illustrate news articles and books, the lithograph eventually covered and grew to symbolize many areas of growing American consumerism: from business and commercial prints and trade cards to domestic art portraying the nineteenth-century American domestic ideal; as well as popular romantic images of the time. Lithographs were present in nineteenth-century America in many forms,…

Typically when thinking about paper most may think that the biggest source of paper use is from printing but it is rather the opposite. “It is an amazingly versatile material, and a large percentage of the paper currently produced is used for other purposes other than printing” (Hart 38). Businesses/organizations may use paper for things such as advertisement or for the development of their company. The daily morning paper or the magazine…

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),…

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 automotive parts (Dodd). Although 3D printing can offer beneficial…

Over the past twenty years, 3d printing has made its presence known within mainstream media. The first appearance of 3d printing in modern cinematography was released in 1998. The movie was titled “Small Soldiers” and it featured a scene where a toy was made layer by layer due to a 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…
