made with a 3D printer. Inform them that a four year old girl was given a 3D printed heart and is living a wonderful life. A. Reason to Listen: 3D printing has advanced to the point of creating new organs, therefore saving lives. B. Central idea: 3D printing has a positive and a negative side to it. C. Credibility 1. I have spent a few years researching medical advancements. 2. I have researched this topic. D. Preview of Main Points: 1. First, I will give the definition of 3-D Printing. 2. Second

3D Printing One Emerging Technology field that is soon to change the game is 3D Printing. Though 3D Printers have been around since the 1980’s, it hasn’t been widely accessible or used until now. This is due to the advances in technology, which allow 3D Printers to be created in a smaller form factor and used at a much cheaper price. Throughout this paper, I will further go through more reason why I believe 3D printing has a huge future. This paper’s topics are broken up into various paragraphs

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross- section of the eventual object. It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create

3D printing is slowly making its way into the mainstream train of thought. Students at an abundance of universities have access to this incredible innovation. To some this exciting technology seems to be nothing but a fad. However, 3D printing has already began to make significant strides in the medical field. With the right business strategies, we believe that 3D printing will take the medical field to a place we before never saw as possible. Happening Now Today, we can see medical

3D printing has a reputation for being a greener method of manufacturing, then the conventional factory methods that, up until now, have traditionally been used. But that is not necessarily the case. There are heavily spammed myths that are used as a catalyst to speed up the ever growing industry that is 3D printing. 3D printing does not mean zero waste, there are many different types of 3D printers that all construct pieces in different ways. Fused deposition modelling (FDM) machines, a consumer

Power of Personal Production Imagine that you could design a three-dimensional object as quickly as it would take to decide on material and computer design: this idea is what created the technology of 3D printing. From the conception of 3D printing in 1984, to the first stem cell transplant, 3D printing has evolved from a sci-fi like idea to a realistic addition in individual consumer lifestyles. Now instead of relying on large manufactures to produce a special or specific good, the consumer has the

INTRODUCTION The Economist (2012) titled its article about 3D printing as ‘The Third Industrial Revolution’, implying that 3D technology has a potential to do so. Will it really be happen? The answer remains to be seen, but considering the capabilities of 3D technology, it seems absolute. When we look back to history, wheel, steam engine, and light bulb were all breakthroughs that shaped the way societies lived. In the 21th century, 3D printing is the biggest nominee for the title of new ‘breakthrough’

easily 3D printing will lower barriers to market entry and will enable innovative start-ups to target the market using crowd-funding.. Free R&D also dramatically lowers the barriers to entry. Capital requirements - Lower costs of technology equipment. First, AM reduces the capital required to achieve economies of scale. Second, it increases flexibility and reduces the capital required to achieve scope.. Government policy - Although 3D printing opens up new practical challenges, protection of 3D designs

DISCUSSION The accuracy of two 3D printing techniques commonly used in orthodontics was assessed in this study. A unique aspect of this research was that 3D printed models were produced from digital impressions acquired directly from the oral environment, and then compared to stone models. The importance of this comparison was the ability to evaluate the entire digital workflow from directly acquiring a digital impression from the oral environment to producing a 3D printed model of it. To our knowledge

Advantages and Disadvantages of 3D Printing Advantages Ability to Customize Products Customization is a standard for 3D printing. With any raw materials that you desire, blueprints and a 3D printer, you can create any object you want, with your own specifications and design. Rapid Production of Prototypes 3D printing lets us quickly produce any prototypes or small versions of the original product. This helps researchers and engineers plan the actual object and look for flaws may affect quality and
