Additive manufacturing

3-D printing is an emerging technology, that if properly done, has the potential to change the world and how things are done. Although there have been many advancements over the years, with further research and development this technology can become less expensive, easier to make, and bring us things like household products and printed pizza. The Oxford dictionary defines 3-D printing as “a process for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many

3-D Printing Albert Einstein once said: “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.” Mankind is the most advance being on planet earth, since the beginning of our time we have been pushing the boundary of the impossible and redefining the very rule of reality itself. Things we use to see in cartoons and images in science fiction books are now becoming reality, so real that some of those futuristic technology are now part of our everyday lives, and this is only the beginning

popularity of the new technology. Because of this, a new market of 3D printing will begin to grow and emerge very rapidly due to curiosity which makes this new technology a huge effecting factor on the economy. 3D printing is the process of additive manufacturing which creates objects by using a nozzle with a ABS plastic filament, melting the plastic, and layering the plastic in the appropriate locations in order to create an object. Though it is a relatively simple process, it takes a lot of calibration

The innovation represented by my artifact is additive manufacturing, 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

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an exciting feat of modern human innovation emerging at the dawn of a new industrial uprising, however as we all know, with all beneficial revolutions come vindictive consequence. 3D printable firearms are a stain in a revolution that could potentially change the world as we know it. These weapons are a reality and they are under much scrutiny in the engineering and technological world with major implications on public safety and loopholes in federal regulations

like the original printers they are rapidly moving on from their slow, expensive and cumbersome beginnings . The Makerbot replicator 2 is an example of a 3d printer available to the consumer retailing for approx $2000. 3d printing relies on additive manufacturing which allows objects to be built layer by layer only using the exact amount of material needed reducing waste and of course allowing for more complicated designs to be printed in full form. Users can design a 3d model in computer software

further segmentation has been provided which includes implants, surgical guides, surgical instruments and bioengineered products. The 3D printing technology market includes those technologies which are used extensively in medical applications for manufacturing bio-models. These technologies comprises of laser beam melting, electron beam melting,

either actively using or are evaluating the potential of using 3D printing (Wile). There are an infinite number of uses for 3D printing that come along with advantages and disadvantages. The 3D Printing Process 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is the process of successively layering material to form a 3D object (“What is 3D”). This process begins with the formation of an idea. This object can be anything from a hand, to a vehicle component. Using computer aided design (CAD), the

Innovation in ICT and its impact on the society has been astounding. It is considered to be “crucial for economic activity” (Jorgenson and Vu, 2007) as it not only “increases productivity and boost economic growth,” (Jorgenson et al, 2008) but “generates complementary innovations that improve economies ' total factor productivity.” (Ceccobelli et al, 2012) 3D printing is where a “three-dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material that adhere to one another, creating

Your next house could be made out of concrete, by a 3D printer, in 20 hours. 3D printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing, is revolutionizing the way we build houses. This topic is extremely important, as it could save us time and money. While it could be expensive to build the printers and research the idea, this new idea of this construction method is worth the preliminary investment because 3D printing saves money on building materials, labor, and building 3D printed homes releases half the
