the future is now welcome to
watchmojo.com oast interesting and
groundbreaking facts about 3d printing
also known as additive manufacturing
with the onset of computers and
digitization technology is rapidly
expanding like never before
welcome to the age of personalized
medicine number five it’s
revolutionizing the medical field odds
are that even the healthiest among us
will utilize 3d printing on a deeply
personal level at some point in the
future but I was actually thinking more
about the dental industry tens of
millions of dental crowns have been
produced since the technology for a
surfaced hearing aids have also become
highly reliant upon 3d printing with
over 60 million products printed since
the year 2000 from Jawbone’s to hip
replacements and just about everything
in between massive innovation has taken
place in recent years industry analysts
are saying that 3d printing is getting
out of a type stage and is starting to
deliver on its promise some estimate
that in the next 10 years 3d printing as
an industry could be worth 550 billion
dollars a year that’s a lot of dil
tahime I mean and hip replacements
number four it’s a big deal how small 3d
printing can be in 2015 Guinness World
Records gave ETH Zurich the world record
for smallest inkjet printed color image
clocking in at roughly 0.009 two
millimeters or the width of your typical
human hair the image is a three
microscopic clownfish in full 24-bit
color a fancy home printer may print at
1200 or 2400 dots per inch this guy
printed at 25,000 dpi
even though this was a flat image the
same technology is being adapted to 3d
printers but the scope of this
technology goes far beyond finding nano
nemo’s already lithium-ion batteries the
size of a grain of sand have been
produced some structures are being
manufactured that are currently too
small to even produce other ways such as
bio scaffolds artificial structures that
are planted in a patient’s body for
tissue to grow on number-3 3d printers
can let you reduce reuse and recycle at
home
those empty diet coke bottles may just
come in handy a traditional
2-dimensional printer needs ink in order
to work and for most 3d printers plastic
filament acts as ink happily the world
kind of has an abundance of plastic just
literally floating around
so some inspired scientists and
designers have developed machines that
allow you to recycle junk plastic into
plastic filament a few of these systems
are commercially available already the
only downside to this eco-friendly
innovation is that plastics tend to get
weaker the more you recycle them so I’m
sure a lot of people would rather turn
their old milk-jug into a I don’t know a
plum bus everyone has a plum Basim and
hey if material science is keep
improving we may soon be seeing this
concept applied to things like clothing
and this is actually the dress skirt
that I’m wearing right now number two 3d
printing may mark the beginning of a
third Industrial Revolution inventions
such as steam power and electricity
acted as catalysts for the first and
second industrial revolutions and ensure
that life would never quite be the same
again for the average citizen some have
gone as far to say that 3d printing may
very well mark the beginning of a third
Industrial Revolution
how so well economies of scale resulted
in earlier revolutions with mass
production lowering per unit costs in
theory 3d printing one personalised pair
of Nike sneakers should cost roughly the
same amount per unit as producing a
thousand Nike sneakers extrapolate this
trend to the many different industries
that may benefit from 3d printing and
there may be a world where massive
standardized manufacturing plants offer
the same value as highly personalized
mom-and-pop shops but what about all
those jobs that will be lost
how will the economy adjust and an
intellectual property and globalization
and stuff I know right should be a hell
of a ride so my questions number one 3d
printing may be the key for deep space
travel this should almost be a
no-brainer space travel in the newest
technologies have a long history
together I mean not long long but you
know whatever older than me anyway
NASA wasted no time adapting this
technology for space travel and in 2014
the International Space Station
implemented its first successful earth
to space printing job one area in which
NASA apparently sees 3d printing working
in space is by printing food they’ve
even funded some research into it but it
seems that more research is needed
imagine if food and tool designs could
be sent from Earth to space with the
touch of a button
we’ll stop imagining they pretty much
can be in your face Neil Armstrong so
did our list add a new dimension to your
understanding of 3d printing and are you
aching for some food replicators already
