What Is 3D Printing ??

technique of producing 3 dimensional gadgets deriving out of digital data

Basic: formed by utilize computer-aided design (CAD)

: Interpret Input From CAD file

: comes architecture layers (thermoplastics, metal even paper)

Methods & Processes ?

Industries using 3D printing technology

Defense:

EOIR Tech deal with development & defense design

able to reduce production cost from $100,000 to $40,000

Used by US Army: topographical model development

Used during Hurricane Katrina search & rescue mission – informational (flood water level)

Aerospace

produce lighter components – reduce extra fuel cost

Made in Space: 3D printing zero gravity test to do 3D printing in space

help reduce cost sending to space

Automotive

focus on prototype & vehicle spare parts

cut down production time

BMW: Create lighter version of assembly tools
