3-D Printing
Have you ever wondered how powerful and destructive a 3-D printer could be? The production and sales of 3-D printers should be outlawed in the U.S.A. because, you can potentially be harmed by the effects of melting plastic, and you take away money from America’s small businesses, and finally it can be used to create car parts more local thus hurting the economy. The idea of a 3-D printer should be abolished in the United States.
3-D printing has some very negative health effects, the effects are equivalent to smoking a cigarettes! According to the Illinois Institute of Technology, the process of melting plastic in your enclosed home, can have several negative effects on the human body. “ The desktop 3-D printers on the market can emit a pretty hefty amount of harmful ultrafine particles (UFPs) into the air.” (Atmospheric Journal- Environment). This basically means that if you use a 3-D printer in your home you can breathe in “air” that’s emitted from the process. This can really harm your lungs or even cause cancer. It was said that “ when a commercial 3-D printer creates a small plastic item, the machine emits about 20 billion particles of (UFPs) a minute.” (gizmodo.com”Leslie Horn”). It has also been said that “ Its comparable to working with gasoline or smoking a cigarette indoors.” ( health-facts.com/3-D printers).
The second reason 3D printers should be outlawed is because it hurts America’s small businesses. It may not seem like it is hurting anyone that you create your own items, but why make something when you could simply find it at a local store for a cheaper cost, and also have no harm done to your body? It takes away profits from them, and we should support them, not take away. It has been said that 3D printing can take away profit from many of America’s small businesses in things they specialize in.” ( Jarrod Basson, senior (consultant,csc). 3D printing can not only harm your health, but take away money from Americas small
