many benefits of using 3D printing technology, there are some negative effects that consumers should be aware of. First, as 3D printing becomes more popular and widely used around the world, it could affect the international supply chain and trade relations between other countries. In the research article “Research on the Impact of 3D Printing on the International Supply Chain,” Zhen Chen, Business professor at Lingnan Normal University in China, explains that “3D printing is a rapidly…
The significance of female characters in portraying the major themes and other social and political issues. The word Renaissance comes from the French and it means “to be born again’. It took place in Europe during the 14th to 16th century and was a period of innovation marked by a new era of growth. This era was used as a bridge of culture found in modern history as well as the middle ages. ( Etymonline 2009 ) . In The Lion and The Jewel we examine a theme of culture and conflict that arises,…
Chapter 1 Introduction Digital photography is a form of photography that uses cameras containing arrays of electronic photodetectors to capture images focused by a lens, as opposed to an exposure on photographic film. Here images are captured and stored in file for further processing. Digital photography aims to produce an image that gives an illusion of a real environmental image. Inorder to produce an image that provides visual richness and sets the mood of the environment the important…
3D Animation production workflow In a 3D Animation production workflow, there are three main phases of production. They are: • Pre-Production • Production • Post-Production Pre-Production In the pre-production phase, we do all the planning and preparation for the animation. We need to determine what or how we want our end product to look like. We need to do brainstorming and mind-map down all the ideas. Some of the questions that we need to ask ourselves during this brainstorming session are:…
1. ABSTRACT The essence of an image is a projection from a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, during which the depth information is lost. The 3D point corresponding to a specific image point is constrained to be on the line of sight. From a single image, it is very difficult to determine the depth information of various object points in an image. If two or more 2D images are used, then the relative depth point of the image points can be calculated which can be further used to reconstruct the 3D image by…
The printing press was a machine invented by Johannes Gutenberg in 1451 that completely innovated the way in which people record and copy information (Butler). It used a system of letter blocks which were organized into the desired order and then printed onto paper with ink (Whipps). That order could then be copied and reused many times until the blocks broke or changed to print something different, which made it a much faster, more efficient, and more reliable method of recording information…
The two main types of 3D printing are FDM and SLA. FDM stands for Fused Deposition Modeling, in FDM a thermoplastic resin, usually in the form of a wire (Figure 7), is fed through a hot extruder in turn heating the plastic allowing it to become formable. As the plastic is heated…
waste in design and manufacturing with regard to the nature and future sustainability of practices considered modern by contemporary standards. Practices, such as CNC (computer numerically controlled) machining and additive manufacturing such as 3D printing, are the benchmark for modern manufacturing; 'In the domain of manufacturing, computer numerically controlled (CNC) technology is a major contributor to the production capacity of the enterprises...resources can be utilized interchangeably…
including; the printing press, and a new system of astronomy, were huge advancements during the Renaissance. The printing press was one of the most significant inventions of the Renaissance. It was invented in the mid-15th century by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. Before the printing press revolutionised the world of literature, books were hand-written by scribes or monks. Most books were written in Latin, a language which only the very educated people could understand. The…
genomics, less invasive and more accurate tools for diagnoses and treatment, 3D printing, robotics, biometrics and electronic health records. Health professionals will have to be skilled or trained to develop and acquire, use and integrate these emerging technologies. (Carol Houston, MSN APA) The technology of genetics and genomics (a branch of molecular biology) will help to treat those conditions that…
