    and limited production by few companies. This technology in the the late 1980s began as a new additive manufacturing, changing and speeding up what use to be subtractive manufacturing. Subtractive manufacturing relied on tooling and assembly lines since it began, 3D printing however made it possible for companies to fabricate prototypes on demand. However 3D printing is no longer limited to manufacturing, but has developed into various categories as printer cost continue to go down, making it more

    using a 3-D modeling technology printing concept. 3-D (Three-Dimensional) modeling technology in the medical field has been an innovation since the 1980’s. This technology has come a long ways. 3-D modeling technology printing is a method of additive manufacturing and built-up technique where a three dimensional object is shaped by laying down consecutive layers of material to create an object in a 3-D aspect. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of companies providing personalized three

    2. Review of Literature Basically research in FDM can split into three categories 1. Novel applications 2. Materials 3. System improvements This systems improvements mostly based on software and tool path generation, layer by layer algorithms and part orientation. The basic FDM process changed since 1980’s and it has three Cartesian linear actuators, extruder and temperature controls. To print different materials multiple heads can be used. Research published on FDM extruder so far is very

    Once you have a 3D model the next step is to prepare it in order to make it 3D printable. Preparing a 3D model to be 3D printed is called slicing. Slicing is dividing a 3D model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers. This is done with software. It can sometimes be done within a 3D modeling software application. Certain 3D printers require a certain slicing tool. Once the 3D modelTo begin 3D printing you first have to make a virtual design of the object that you want to create. The virtual

    FYW: Future of Writing The Impact of 3D Printers on the Field of Industrial Design With the growth of computers comes an increase in viable manufacturing techniques. Programs such as Autocad, Solidworks, and Sketchup, allow the creation of complex models and aid in producing files which 3D printers operate with. Within the past several years the pricing models of computer aided design, or CAD, software as a whole has changed in a way which lets students to operate these programs non-commercially

    idea, but later on, Mr. Charles Huck carried on with this idea and finally came up with a machine that can create prototypes. Later he also co-founded a 3-D manufacturing company that is right now one of the largest 3-D company in the world and contributes a lot to modern era problems. After this initiative, progress on additive manufacturing process or 3-D printing got started, and since then, it became one of the most important sector of science, specifically engineering, as it have produced a lot

    affordably in the home. With such technology, it is possible for anyone to produce high quality products without having to buy them. This revolutionary technology is proving to be a game changer in the world of manufacturing, but it is causing many to question the ethics of hyper-localized manufacturing and the ability for anyone to make anything. 3D printers are generating controversy surrounding the ownership of designs, copyright laws, patent infringement, democratized counterfeiting, and illegal possession
