Introduction Technology is improving everyday. Thirty years ago we were using typewriters. Now we have fancy electronics that project holograms. Some of the recent products may be really cool‚ but I believe that the invention that will impact us the most is the 3D Printer invented by Chuck Hull in 1984. Companies like Apple and Google may be creating new phones and computers‚ but these items are nothing compared to the 3D printer‚ which can print almost any object you can think of from a part of

Introduction 3D Printing is a becoming a very popular method of production for those that need models produced quickly and on a small scale. 3D printing is the process of making a real‚ solid 3D model from it’s original digital format. The benefits of 3D printing are numerous and are continually being improved as the technology changes. With the rise of this new technology‚ it can no longer be viable for companies to sit back and ignore it. As a production company Fuse Media needs to invest

3D Printing 1 3D Printing 3D Printing 2 The History of 3D Printing After reading this paper one will clearly see just how far 3D printing has come in a very short time both by cost and application. Three-dimensional printing‚ also known as additive engineering‚ is the process by which extracts are used to make solid 3D objects of virtually any shape from a digital model. This is achieved using specially formulated additives‚ such as plastics‚ which are formulated into consecutive

What is 3D printing? 3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Using additive processes creates a 3D printed object. An additive process is a form of successive layering. Each piece of the object is created in layers until the entire object is printed. Every layer can be seen as a thinly sliced piece of the object. How does it work? To create a 3D object one must first start with a virtual design. The design is made in a computer aided design (CAD)

is 3D printing the most important opportunity facing manufacturers in the United Kingdom? (40 marks) Manufacturing to the economy of the United Kingdom is worth £213 billion‚ whilst simultaneously representing 11% of the total country’s economy. It is both in the interest of the United Kingdom’s government and individual manufacturing business that these figures continue to increase. For this to happen‚ there are a range of opportunities waiting to be exploited‚ ranging from 3D printing‚ green technologies

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
