3D printing and its usage
This specialized printing process is capable of producing 3 dimensional objects. With the advent and development of modern 3D printing technology and combination with other applied sciences, it can now produce 3D objects for diverse regular lifestyle and scientific use. From producing daily lifestyle objects, durable products and furniture to aviation and automobile parts, from bionic limbs and artificial organs to designer fashion objects, 3D printed objects are increasingly becoming common across diverse scientific applications and purposes. Let us introduce here top 5 applications of 3 Dimensional printing.
Automobile
It has now become common for the world’s big automobile manufacturers to produce prototypes of car parts using 3 Dimensional printing. Rapid prototyping using this technology is helping the automobile brands to incorporate new design aspects and user-friendly elements. General Motor in 2014 developed its Chevrolet Malibu using taking help from 3 Dimensional printing prototypes in many aspects. Ford also uses this technology to produce prototypes for almost all of their new models. If these just offers bits and pieces of 3 Dimensional printing application in the automobile sector, then the latest Urbee 2 can well be considered as the first vehicle developed and designed fully using 3D printing technology.
Aviation
Whether in commercial aviation or in space research projects, use of 3D printed objects are increasingly becoming common. Even NASA recently put a 3D printed rocket engine injector under extreme fire test and it not only successfully proved to be competent enough but even shown more efficiency than the injectors built earlier with the conventional method. Recently, the display of a 3D printed spaceship at the premier of the movie Interstellar is a sure indication that production of space objects are increasingly going to incorporate 3 Dimensional printing. Most major aircraft makers are already using extensive 3D printed prototypes for their air vehicles. Already an array of smart portable drones is built in various parts of the world using this technology.
Organ transplantation
One of the most appreciated and hyped use of 3 Dimensional printing technology is the production of artificial limbs, organs and bionic limbs. In many parts of the globe several bionic limbs have been developed using 3D printing and it is increasingly becoming common technology in artificial organ manufacturing. According to most scientists involved in bioprinting solutions in various research facilities, the new 3D printed limbs and organs can unveil a new era of organ transplantation with unprecedented success and advancement.
