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

Technology Additive technology is the process of making a product by constantly adding layers and objects. A modern example of this is a three dimensional solid. In the last few years‚ the open source theories and movement has had a large influence on this new style of innovation. Open-source in an object/idea/information that can be used‚ reedited‚ modified for free. One example of this is Arduino. (Arduino Homepage‚ see Source 1). Arduino is an open-source micro-controller.

Prosthetics. They have been around since the Ancient Egyptians‚ for example‚ a wooden toe used to walk and do tasks normally. They have helped amputees regain their normal everyday lives‚ whether it be doing daily tasks like brushing teeth‚ or continuing their athletic careers like snowboarder Amy Purdy. Of these amputees‚ about 70% of them decide to buy and use a prosthetic‚ be it an arm‚ leg‚ finger‚ hand‚ or foot‚ along with many other possibilities (“Limb”). They do this to regain normalcy in

The Future of Aviation Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Abstract Aviation is a field full of unanswered questions and mystery. With the ability to fly almost anything or anyone‚ new concerns are being addressed. How can we make this mode of travel more efficient? How can we make it more practical? Everything comes at a cost. With todays craft polluting our air and fuel becoming more and more expensive‚ it is up to us‚ for the sake of mankind‚ to develop new technology to push this

3D Printing 3D printing is becoming a new way for manufacturing. As oppose to regular manufacturing (subtractive)‚ where the machine cut out pieces of a raw material in order to shape the material to its final shape‚ in an additive manufacturing the machine adds layer of material and creates the final model. Additive process has many advantages over the subtractive one. Creating a part with 3D printing is much cheaper‚ makes less waste‚ faster and the result is even more accurate1. The most revolutionized
