Additive layer manufacturing, also known as Three- Dimensional (3D) printing, provides a unique fabrication process that allows users to produce structurally complex components by the successive fusion of layers [1]. This technique offers businesses and consumers the ability to quickly develop custom components on demand and at a lower economical cost [2]. In 2016, a PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PWC) report indicates that, out of 71% of US manufactures implementing 3D printing and 42% believe the volume of 3D printer use will increase in the next three to five years [3].
The impact of 3D printing can already be seen in both industrial and consumer markets [2]. The 2015 Wohlers Associates report stated that 32.5% of all Additive manufactured objects were used for functional components. Additionally, the report detailed the 3D printing industry accounted for $5.165 billion of revenue [4]. The aviation, medical, automotive, and manufacturing industries are currently utilizing 3D printing [4-9]. Airbus, within the aviation industry, recently produced the world’s largest 3D printed cabin component. The component produced is a dividing wall that sits between the passenger seating and galley. General Electric is currently 3D printing jet engine fuel nozzles and forecast that 100,000 parts will be created by their Aviation division using 3D printers by 2020 [10]. Since 2014 NASA has been researching the ability to print on demand components in space utilizing a 3D
Another example of Jay Gatsby’s moral ambiguity is his pursuit of Daisy Buchanan’s love. Daisy and Gatsby first met in 1917 before Gatsby went off to the war. Gatsby and Daisy found themselves in love with each other, but being a part of WWI put a wrench in their love. Gatsby never stopped loving Daisy up until the day he died, and waited for her every minute of his life after the war. Gatsby even went beyond expectations and, “‘bought that house so that Daisy would be just across the bay’”
Imagine how a brick layer builds a wall. He lays down bricks one row at a time starting with the bottom row. After finishing the topmost row, the wall
As 3D printing transitions from commercial manufacturing use to personal private use individuals will have the ability to print any design.

In the future we will likely see printable medications and
3D printing technology was start in the mid-1990s, this technology construct the real object from a digital model from computer, layer by layer using certain material in powered state. In the past, this technology is applied in mold manufacturing, and nowadays, it is being used in direct manufacturing. With the improvement of this technology, more and more items can be done through 3D printing. However, the potential of the 3D printing is far more than DIY small household items. In March of 2013, a Chinese firm has claimed to have done 3d printing of ten houses within 24 hours. Two years later, in January of 2015, they has further demonstrate its technology with a five story apartment building, compete with decorative element both inside and outside. In fact, this technology is now overturn the traditional construction industry.
There are a few pressing matters regarding the impact of 3D printing on society including security risks and accountability when a tragedy occurs as a result of manufactured items. However, 3D printing has a beneficial impact in different fields. One positive impact of 3D printing is the new industry software developers can pursue since there is a need to build and maintain user friendly software for 3D printing. 3D printing also reduces the time to necessary to
Today, technology is advancing rapidly; it is taking the world by storm. Everyday something new is being developed. There is always excitement and anxiousness floating in the air, curious people waiting to know what the next big thing in technology will be. 3D Printing, a revolutionary technology that can take any digital designs sketched on a computer, and then print those designs into three-dimensional objects is the latest rage orbiting the world of technology. It is one of the latest hypes that are still in development. 3D Printing grasps great potential in the palms of its hands. It can change the world, as we know it once and for all. However, regarding such a revolutionary, innovative technology, critics are always lurking in the background and spreading their opinions. They criticize that 3D Printing could be an easy way to create dangerous objects that can be a threat to the world; nonetheless it should be recognized because it is a groundbreaking technology that allows creative ideas to be produced such as printing fashion, also it potentially helps sick people by printing tissues, and it can help hinder world hunger with the possibility of printing food.
3D printing is definitely a huge advancement in Technology! However, very controversial. Although, it has multiple benefits in our society in Medical health practices & Engineering speed, it can also be used for illegal purposes. Now, does the bad outweigh the good? That is the question debated today. I see the whole concept in only 2 large points. It will greatly help people who are desperately in need for transplant organs. It will drastically reduce the organ waiting list and once perfected, our life span should be bumped up a decade or so. On the other hand, what if someone down the road you'll be able to completely recreate a human being in it's entirety? Would we harvest them for their organs? Would it be fair? What if it falls in the
3D printing uses a process known as "additive" manufacturing. That means that the solid, three-dimensional object constructed will be made by adding the desired material in layers. The first successful outcomes of additive printing occurred back in the 1970’s. One of the advantages of using additive printing is that it takes less time than having to get a big enough piece of material and then making a mold before starting the process.(Additive) Those both also add to cost which is saved using this process. Also, there is a
Why go to stores and spend lots of money buying toys, jewelry, cups and many other plastic utilities when you can only press one button and print them out for yourself. This futuristic idea is not only innovating the scientific and technological world, but it is also innovating modern day households. The possibilities of 3D printing are extremely captivating, making this one of the most exciting innovations in recent times. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, makes three-dimensional solid objects from a digital model or command. To picture how this process works, 3D printers use an additive process, where adding layers of a successive material creates an object. Traditional machines, however, uses a subtractive process by
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital design. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process the desired object is created by laying down successive layers of material (usually molten alloy or plastics) until the entire object is formed. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.
