What’s in it for me? Discover how 3D printers will shape our future.

At first glance, 3D printing may seem like a niche market. Maybe you know someone who uses a 3D printer to manufacture cute little action figures – or something equally inconsequential – in his living room. Sure, 3D printing is neat, but it doesn’t seem very revolutionary.

Well, what we’re seeing today is actually just the tip of iceberg. Over the next few decades, 3D printing is going to change many areas of our lives – from the working world to cooking to the ways we treat serious illnesses. These blinks will tell you more about the latent power of this emergent technology.

In these blinks, you’ll learn

why you soon won’t have to be rich to become a producer;
about designer legs; and
whether 3D printing is going to save the environment.

By means of a computer and a design file, a 3D printer can create any kind of object, one layer at a time.

Even if you’re not very computer literate, you probably know how to use an everyday inkjet printer. You click “print” and the machine spits out a piece of paper with some words or maybe a photograph printed on it.

A 3D printer is a whole other story.

Rather than imprinting a two-dimensional piece of paper with ink, a 3D printer is designed to build objects, varying in size and shape, out of a wide array of materials.

Like a standard printer, a 3D printer can’t do anything without a computer to tell it what to print.

The computer is needed to send the 3D printer information from a design file, which is basically an electronic blueprint for what you want to build.

So if you want to print a copy of your favorite seventeenth-century brass vase, for instance, you have to first get the right design file. With that, the computer can tell the printer to fabricate a replica that is an exact match in each and every way.

The printer does this by painstakingly building a three-dimensional object, one layer at a time.

For your brass vase, it would start with the bottom, creating a thin, flat layer of brass that represents the base. Once that solidifies, another layer is added to the top of the first one. And this process continues – a new layer being added after the solidification of the last one – until the entire vase is finished. By changing the dimensions of each layer, an object of any shape can be created.

Using this process, anyone can fabricate any object, as long as the details are contained in the design file.

In the blinks that follow, we’ll explore the major impact 3D printing will have on our lives, the economy and the environment. But first, we’ll take a closer look at the software that makes it all possible.

Design software creates a three-dimensional environment to help you realize your object.

Did you know that most of the furniture in your home was probably designed digitally with the help of sophisticated computer software? In all likelihood, that lamp on your desk, or even the desk itself, was once a concept that only existed as ones and zeros in a computer file.

What’s great about design software is that it offers designers and engineers the opportunity to shape and model their designs in a three-dimensional environment.

3D printing offers major advantages when compared to mass production and artisanal craftsmanship.

You might be asking yourself: What advantages does 3D printing really provide? After all, traditional production methods have worked so far, right?

Sure, today’s methods of mass production enable the efficient production of specific products. But we run into problems when the product needs to be changed.

3D printing makes innovation safe and affordable, and it may revolutionize the manufacturing world.

Over a century ago, the assembly line disrupted the manufacturing status quo. It forever transformed the job market and the way companies do business.

And this is exactly the kind of disruptive potential 3D printing has.

We are already beginning to print life-saving objects such as body parts and food.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about 3D printing is the limitless possibilities. In addition to making it easy to print standard material goods, the technology also has the potential to save lives.

People are already climbing what’s known as 3D printing’s “ladder of life.”

In regards to the environment, there are both advantages and disadvantages to 3D printing.

3D printing has given rise to a slew of concerns. Foremost among them is its carbon footprint.

Today, most manufacturing companies still use petroleum-based fuels to manufacture and transport their products and, as a result, harm the environment with their large carbon footprint.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
