Applications of 3D Printing in Modern World.

2. Rapid Prototyping through
3D Printing
Prototype through 3D Printing is a process of making
three dimensional solid objects from a digital file using
additive manufacturing techniques. In this process, layers
of material are successively deposited one above the other
to create an object. Each layer can be visualized like thinly
sliced section of the object.

3. How does it work
The first step towards making a Rapid Prototype
3D printed object starts with creation of virtual CAD
modeling generally in the form of mesh model. Such
digital models of real life objects can also be created by
using a 3D scanner. The digital files are then processed
using a slicing program that creates hundreds to thousands
of horizontal layers. This file is then loaded into a 3D
printer which reads every slice and reproduces the object,
blending each layer to another seamlessly.

4. Applications of 3D
Printing

5. Education
As students, create
masterpieces of 3D art in the
classroom, the 3D printer can
bring the art into reality. Any
design and shape that can be
imagined can be created in
real-life.
They can learn how
proteins and catalysts work
by making physical models
and piecing them together.
They can get a detailed
terrain map of any area.

6. Automobiles
Helps in creating Samples
of automobile parts.
3D printers can help in
producing actual moving
parts which can be assembled
and a working model can be
created for any part of the
automobile.

7. Designing/Décor/Jewellery
3D printing is rapidly
becoming a preferred means
of production for many
jewellery designers, more
and more artists are turning
to it to create precious
artworks that can be
customized and 3D printed
to order.
Like a magic portal
between imagination and
reality, 3D printing makes
characters and props from
ideas every day.
It's now possible to design
your own home decorations
and bring them to life.

8. Architecture
The design process in which
architects are involved takes a
lot of time and is often very
stressful, handmade Styrofoam
scale models are a waste of
precious time in that sense. To
save their valuable time, they
now have adopted 3D printing
into their design process for
producing accurate
demonstration models.

9. Biology
3D printing today as we
know it is used in dental
and prosthetics field, prior
knowledge of such a
technology at a school or
college level can prove very
helpful in further learning.
Students can study about
cross sections of Heart
chambers or Kidney.
Skeletal system can be
clearly depicted using 3D
printed models.

10. Robotics
 This is one of the fields
where 3D printing can be
used extensively.
Classrooms can become
robot manufacturing
plants where custom parts
can be built on the go.
