The Printing Press It is argued that the printing press is one of the most significant inventions of all time ranked alongside the wheel and the plow (Johannes Gutenberg and‚ 2009). The man credited with its invention is Johannes Gutenberg‚ born of Mainz‚ Germany around 1400 (Childress‚ 2008). Johannes began his work with the printing press around 1430 and developed his first prototype somewhere around the mid-15th century. As with most inventions‚ Gutenberg’s press had precedents in history

What is 3D printing? 3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Using additive processes creates a 3D printed object. An additive process is a form of successive layering. Each piece of the object is created in layers until the entire object is printed. Every layer can be seen as a thinly sliced piece of the object. How does it work? To create a 3D object one must first start with a virtual design. The design is made in a computer aided design (CAD)

p.2 9/17 3D Printing 3D printing is a technology that lets you take a digital file and turn it into a physical object. You can take almost anything and create it. Everything that is printed‚ is protected by copyright. You take a 3D digital file and just with the click of a button you can create it. You can download a 3D file offline‚ or create one yourself. The software makes it layer by layer. You can literally print out anything you can possibly think of. They’re being made so that they’re

3D Printing 3D printing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. A materials printer usually performs 3D printing processes using digital technology. The first working 3D printer was created in 1984 by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems Corp.[3] Since the start of the 21st century there has been a large growth in the sales of these machines‚ and their price has dropped substantially. The 3D printing technology is used for both prototyping and distributed

OFFSET PRINTING PRESSES Offset printing is called offset lithography. That printing process is typically used for commercial printing. It is a distinct process that is commonly used among commercial vendors that produce large orders of magazines‚ catalogs‚ posters‚ etc. It is also called offset printing for the way that the inks are used to print images and text to the substrate. The process starts by taking digital files and creating a special type of negative film. The negatives are used

Consequence of the Printing Press? Numerous people from the Renaissance time tried to make a living on their own by painting and writing books. Although it seemed very hard to spread their ideas around the world‚ by 1444 their worries began to shrink. A man from Germany named Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press‚ which made possible for people to have copies of books and letters in a much lesser time. What was the great outcome of the printing press? The efficiency of the printing press allowed
