3D printing is a very interesting form of manufacturingtechnology in my opinion. This technology allows for the creation of virtuallyanything. Many printers exist out there, and many materials are offered tochoose from. In fact, more than 100 materials are offered for printing. I wantto discuss how this technology can change the way we look at efficiency. BeforeI can do that, let me tell you what 3D printing really is, and how the processworks. 3D printing is the layer by layer creation of pretty muchwhatever you want in one (or more) of a variety of materials. These machines,or printers, will lay down layers of material down, sometimes as thin as 12microns, sometimes as thick as 12 inches. It all depends on the printer. Someof the machines are the size of a desktop computer, which usually yields smallparts like rings, jewelry, or hearing aids. Some 3D printing machines, orprinters, are about the size of a refrigerator and they can produce parts whichare around 10 x 10 x 10. Some machines are almost the width of your bed, andcan produce parts as large as a motorcycle helmet. Some are incredibly large,and can produce houses out of concrete! It all depends on which machine youwant, which material you want, the levels of detail, smoothness, etc. There arequite a few factors. How does the process actually work? Well, initially a designwill have to be mocked up on the computer by a designer, engineer, artists, orwhatever youd like to call it. This design can be pretty intricate, as 3Dprinting doesnt rely on the same design rules that other forms ofmanufacturing do. These designs will be made in the form of a 3D model, createdout of various software. This model will then be sent to the machine for 3Dprinting. 3D printing revolves around a CAM system, or a computer aidedmanufacturing system. This means that the process is almost entirely automated.The computer will aid the manufacturing process, and tell the printer itselfwhere to lay down the material. This process is very neat, as it is pretty muchentirely automated when it comes down to producing pieces. One interesting application I want to talk about is thecreation of houses. Im talking about 3D printing houses. There is technologyavailable which allows for the creation of entire houses through printingconcrete. The machines are able to create the homes in the course of 24 hours.Im not entirely sure how electrical outlets, plumbing, and lighting works butI know that the frame can be manufactured within a day. This is great, as 3Dprinting is almost entirely automated. This lowers the expenses for employment.The process itself is actually less expensive. It is much greener for theenvironment. It is much cheaper on material. It is much quicker. This will helppromote inexpensive housing in 3rd world countries, or even variousexpeditions around the world, or even to crazy places like the moon!
