We’re living in the most fantastic time in human history. Only a few people overcame overwhelming obstacles to create an extraordinary.
The 3D printer is one of the outstanding inventions of this era. And the inventor, Inspired by “Terminator 2” movie scene in which a human-shaped object arises out of a puddle with essentially no waste to make a great object, and then thought, why couldn’t 3D printers operate in this fashion. Accept that scene as a challenge and make a revolution in the world of technology.
How 3D Printing Revolutionizing The Manufacturing Process?
3D printing is bringing many changes to many vital industries, companies, medical institutions, firearms industries, etc. It’s 25 to 100 times faster than traditional 2D printers. It is very different from conventional manufacturing machines.
It is a process of making solid three-dimensional objects from a digital file, also called additive manufacturing uses computer-aided designing to make prototypes or working models of an object by laying down successive layers of material. It can print aluminum parts, human tissue, carbon fiber thermoplastic figurines, and dental models.
Use software to control the whole process. There are many varieties of 3D printers. The first 3D printer technology made its appearance in the early 1980s. They were expensive, difficult to use, and generally inaccessible.
Highlights Of Indian 3D Printing Development
The progress of the Indian 3D printing industry is extraordinary and moving towards growing the reach of 3D printing in all segments.
- DBZ technologies set a milestone in the 3D printing industry and became the first to export its 3D printer to the United States.
- Wipro3D and HAL work to manufacture a Metal 3D Printed Aircraft Engine Component.
- 3D bioprinting was developed by Andhra Pradesh MedTech Zone (AMTZ) to print artificial organs to enhance diagnostics and therapy.
- Incredible – AM is a significant achievement in 3D printing in healthcare to develop patient-specific implants(PSIs).
- Taste Manufacturing Solutions built India’s first 3D printed house.
India’s first 3D printed house was built in just five days, created and designed by Tvasta Manufacturing Solutions at the IIT Madras campus.
According to the World Economic Forum, by 2030, three billion people will need improved housing. That means building 96,000 new homes every day. In this scenario, the only 3D printer will be the only solution.
The US-based construction technology ICON uses proprietary 3D printing robotics to build homes in impoverished areas around the world. A company like New Balance is looking to use additive manufacturing to improve its products and create custom apparel.
Why 3D Printing?
- Reduce cost
- Faster product manufacturing
- Reduce industrial waste.
- Produce finish product much faster
- Create hyper-customizable parts
- Custom made prosthetic parts and organs after injury
- Clothing stores make designs easily
- Precise prototyping and improved customization
- A 3D printed house costs 20% of regular concrete homes.
- The average age of any 3D-printed house is 50-60 years.
