Paper prototyping

Introduction 3-D printing is a relatively new technology compared to other manufacturing methods. It first showed is face in the 1980’s and then faded out of limelight due to the high cost of procurement and operation. In the early 2000’s, breakthroughs occurred when working printed kidneys appeared and SLS (selective laser sintering) machines became available. During late 2009, the early advocates finally produced machines cheap enough - but still capable of great precision and accuracy - that were

Abstract Advances in ICT have increased possibilities of collaborations between the suppliers, manufactures, customers, and partners to effectively solve the different business problems. Though original equipment manufacturing industries (OEMs) has used the PLM to increase their productivity, quality of product, to speed up delivery, increased profit and became more efficiency, suppliers of this OEMs are still not using PLM. By implementing the correct strategies at supplier of foundry industry an

1.3 MISSION Based on the increasing desire for 3D printing, we are making this available for the university and the public at an affordable cost. E3D Café will provide a quick and easy access to 3D printing and quick prototyping for students doing projects from various departments. E3D Café will provide a means of educating the young students about 3D printers. 1.4 RISK There are risks involved with starting E3D Café, which have been identified and listed below: ➔

prototypes it can develop, innovators worldwide have flocked to the idea of 3-D printing. First, it is important to know exactly what 3-D printing really is. 3-D printing has many names, but is mainly referred to as additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping. An Article defines 3-D printing as “A process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file… in an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the

3-D printing, is an amazing new technology that has already started many debates about its validity and its possible positive and negative impacts in the future. I believe that 3-D printing technologies is going to have a major impact in our daily lives and the positive benefits is going to outweigh the negatives. 3-D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. It covers many different technologies that achieve similar effects, the

advancing, technology has been improving and advanced innovative ways have been surfacing. Something that has modernized our way of life without even realizing it is a printer. Do you ever foresee that printers could other than put ink on a piece of paper? Three-dimensional printing is revolutionizing our modern day lives in our own selves as we speak. Although there are several types of 3D printing, one version that has caught the public’s attention is 3D medical printing, or also known as bio printing

Development and Challenge of 3D Printing Introduction In recent years 3D printing arouses focus of public with appearing in a huge number of areas. In this essay, it will describe 3D printing which is one important application of rapid prototyping. Rapid prototyping (RP) is general for several techniques, which read in data from computer-aided design (CAD) drawings and manufacture automatically three-dimensional objects layer-by-layer according to the virtual design (Sanna 2008). 3D printing also

Background: One of the most innovative inventions of the 19th century was the invention of the automobile. It is clear that the automobile industry has changed the way people and goods travel. The industry basely existed until a man named Henry Ford made the automobile accessible to the public. He put into full motion what we now know today as the automobile industry. Henry Ford had both changed the automobile industry, as well as the manufacturing industry. Ford did this with the way he used the

INTRODUCTION Additive manufacturing has been developing since 19841. Charles hull invented it. In additive manufacturing 3 dimensional products are built by staking materials layer by layer. It is also known as 3D printing. The scope of technology is sky rocketed with the intervention of the fourth-dimension time, which is 4D printing technology. The interesting feature of 4D printing is it can transform from 1D to 3D shape, 1D surface to 3D shape, or can morph from 3D form to

3D printing is a method where three-dimensional physical object’s can be created to any shape from a digital model. In the early 19’s, 3D printing was an impractical idea that was only a dream. However, in 1980 the first 3D printing technology was invented by Charles Hull and it was called stereo lithography. The inventor of 3D printing Charles Hull mention that “This invention relates generally to improvements in apparatus for forming three-dimensional objects from a fluid medium and, more particularly
