Presentation Objectives

• Add information – try to make the font size at least 28, titles are 32

• Use the true type font – Ariel Rounded MT Bold

• Outline presentation material

What is 3D printing?

• 3D printing takes a digitally created model and creates a solid, usable 3D object through an additive, layer-by-layer process.

• Transformation Technology – creates a new market to support existing ones.

What is 3D printing?

• Like the replicators in Star Trek or The Jetsons!


4

The printer

• 3D printers are similar to inkjet printers.

• Instead of ink, 3D printers deposit material in layers.

• Over a dozen types of printing processes!


5

3D Modeling Software


6

• Each layer is like a Post It note!

8

• The first layer is only .1 mm thick!

3D Printing History


15

• 1986: the birth of 3D printing

• Charles Hull invented the first working 3D printer and the .STL format. Inducted into National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014.

• Stereolithography - printing process that enables a tangible object to be created from digital data.

• Originally very expensive

3D Printer Prints Itself!


16

3D Printing in Space

• European Space Agency (ESA) proposing to 3D print structures on the moon and Mars.

• Addresses biggest challenge of bringing materials to the moon.


17

• Can we use the planet's natural resources?• Currently prototyping with sand and solar

power on Earth

3D Printing in Space

• NASA is proposing 3D food printers for astronauts in space.


18

GE 3D Printing


19

• GE will produce 100,000 3D-printed components for the next-generation GE9X turbine engine.

• Boeing is producing 3D-printed components on their aircraft.

3D Printed Clothing, Shoes, and Jewelry


20

• Order customized accessories and get them delivered.

• New Balance and Nike are adopting 3D printing for highly customized shoes for a perfect fit/design.

3D Printed Food

3D Print Your House!

• WinSun Decoration Design Engineering in China has printed 10 houses in 24 hours!

• Use four giant 3D printers to construct 2,100 square foot buildings, cost less than $5,000 each to construct

• www.contourcrafting.org, University of Southern California


22

3D Printed Organs

• Approximately 3,000 people on the heart transplant waiting list on any given day, 2,000 heart donors per year

• Lays down layer after layer of live cells and human tissue.

• Low level of rejection.• Organovo has successfully 3D

printed liver tissue!• A 3D replica of Van Gogh's

ear was printed using family DNA.


23

3D printing in the medical field


24

3D Printed Cast

• Tarian Orthodics in Charleston, SC is integrating 3D printing into their athletic braces.


25
