    3D printing is a process that uses extrusion to create three-dimensional plastic and flexible objects from a digital file. It can be used to print objects like houses, food, and cars, but it is an expensive and time-consuming process that may not be suitable for all applications. While 3D printer sales are growing, they still make up a small percentage of total printer sales and require skilled users with patience due to challenges like high prices currently above $1,000 for most consumer models.

    3D Printing

    Michelle Arguelles, Hector Valderrama,


    & Kelly Westerman

    Describes 3D Technology
    3D printing is the process of making three dimensional
    solid objects from a digital file. The 3D printer uses a
    extrusion process in order to create plastic and flexible
    objects. Some objects that a 3D printer can create are
    houses, food and cars.

    3D Technology & Challenges


    3D printing is expensive
    3D printing is time consuming
    May not be applicable to certain subject
    areas

    3D Printing is here!!
    -The numbers of 3D printers sold is smaller than the
    numbers of 2D printers sold. In Oct 2013 Gartner predicted
    160 3D printers sold per day, presenting sales of only $87
    million.
    -These devices are really targeted towards highly
    motivated makers. Require a lot of skill, patience and
    determination to use.
    -Price: Machines available at less than $2,000, but
    widespread adoption of consumer technology prices below
    $1,000

    More Information
    Began in the 80s
    Used in order to reproduce human organs
    3D printing is also used in film
