    more commonly known as 3D printing. 3D printing is the process of turning digital designs into 3D objects in real life. This is done by slicing the digital design into layers and recreating those layers with molten filaments. Filaments come in different variety and size. Some including ABS plastic, metal alloys, skin tissues. 3D printing was created in 1983 by Chuck Hull. Hull patented his technology as stereolithography. The technology was patented, so at the time 3D printing was a innovation few

    Patients find new hope in 3D Printing This article really intrigued me. Did you know that researchers have invented a 3D printer that not only prints solid 3D objects that can be used to replace bone, but also print cartilage for their patients? This has been saving many lives, with of course a unique twist. Since this new technology is fairly new in the medical field of regenerative medicine, researchers and doctors want to make anyone with missing organs, or anyone that needs an organ replaced

    II. Manufacturing: 3D printing has many advantages over traditional construction methods. With the help of 3D printing, an idea can transform a designer’s computer to actual finished product or component, potentially skipping many of traditional manufacturing steps, which includes procurement of parts, creation of moulds, creation of parts using different moulds, welding metal parts together, machining to carve parts from blocks of material and final assembly. It also reduces the amount of material
