The Advantages Of 3D Printing


ď śSince the Eighties, machines have existed to enable 3D printing, printing but in recent years the technology has come on in leaps p and bounds. You are now able to produce 3d models from digital files on your average material printer. ď śThere are huge number of applications for so many industries that are available f home for h and d businesses. b i


ď śUsing different kinds of materials to turn any creative idea into a realistic prototype is a strength of the new precision tools known as 3D p p printers. ď śA detailed model is the best thing you can actually handle for securing funds for your manufacturing idea, convincing investors, potential customers and distributors. This gives a whole new meaning to a hands on approach. approach


ď śTransform your idea into a model with 3D printers almost identical in the physical form as the virtual model with the help p of y your CAD or computer-aided p design program or with animation modelling software. ď śLayer upon horizontal layer, almost any type of shape or geometry can be built f from the th cross sections ti off the th virtual i t l rendition, into the perfect 3D model.


ď śThe technology is also called additive manufacturing or AM AM, because it builds up the object in layers, rather than former machine techniques q which cut or drilled material out. They therefore create far less wastage.


ď śEden, Objet Connex, and Desktop are the manufacturers that are know for umping up the technology alot. Over the last ten years,, the sales of 3d printers y p have increased dramatically. So, costs have also come way down. ď śThis enables more and more companies to enjoy reliable and rapid prototyping. Th technology The t h l is i hailed h il d b by engineers i and Designers as invaluable, be it industrial sized printing or desktop .


ď ś3D printing is beneficial for people from all kinds of professions professions. This increasingly affordable technology allows the hobbyists y and DIYers to bring g their own creations to life through it. This technology knows no bounds.


ď śThe new range of printers from companies like Object Connex are quick to produce 3D models. To create transparent p or opaque p q objects, j , sixty y different materials can be used in sixty to eighty eight micron layers. ď śIt has been very carefully and intricately designed, made of rubber or a sterner stuff.


ď śBefore the development of this technology the price was prohibitive technology, prohibitive. As prices dipped below $10,000, rapidly creating gap prototype yp from your y desktop p is affordable. 3D printing is a transformational technology that could be adopted by small engineering companies, professional designers and even students. students ď śHere is a site that has more information best 3d printer: ď śhttp://www.mcad.com/
