3D Printing Is The Ways Of Tomorrow

By Tarah Beavers


One of the most exciting developments in computerized technology is 3D printers. These devices can use raw materials to create three-dimensional objects. The very first one used plastic but now they have evolved so that a variety of materials can be used. This greatly increases their value to our society.

Medical advances have been made using these machines. Human body parts can now be fabricated from metal, plastic or actual tissues. This can have a great impact on health care and help a lot of individuals. Not only are bones and cartilage being created with these machines, it is also possible to print organs.

The way we explore space may be revolutionized when astronauts use these devices to print tools and replacement parts in space. They could make repairs much quicker in this manner and do it with more safety. Someday they might even remotely build habitats for human habitation on other worlds.

The process starts with a CAD design that is fed into the machine. The printer is able to use the design specifications to lay down the raw materials one line at a time until the object is finished. There are several different sizes of these machines and some are available now for home use. They are not much bigger than a home inkjet printer but they cost from $1200-$1500 which is probably quite a bit more than your last inkjet.

Our society may reap many benefits in the fields of medicine and the sciences. Already we have seen that it is possible to replace simple body parts, but as the technology develops we will see much more intricate creations so that we can do things once thought unimaginable. For homeowners it means fewer trips to the store to purchase items. If something breaks they could just print off a replacement without leaving home.

At the current time home three-dimensional printing is in its novelty stages. Once it becomes more common there may be changes in the way the average family handles a need. Instead of going to the store to get an item, a family member may purchase and download a pattern to print whatever it is they need.

One thing for sure is that 3D printers will be bringing new jobs, skills and a new way of doing things to the average family in the years to come. Just how fast this new technology will be embraced by the general public will depend largely on how it can solve a need in an economical way.
