1.0Brief Introduction
A three-dimensional object is one that has depth and can be perceived from multiple angles. For example, a chair
canbe perceived from every angle. Objects created using 3D printing have layers; this is unlike objects created
using 2Dprinting. Objects created using 2D printing are still imperfect since they're created by removing material
rather than adding it. This is an important distinction as 3D printed objects are much more durable and precise.
The term '3D printing' is used to describe the process by which digital data becomes real in physical form. This
process uses layers of material to create objects. The most common materials used to create 3D printed objects
are plastic and metal. Other materials used in 3D printing include glass, ceramics and carbon fiber. The devices
used to create 3D printing are called 3D printers, and they're also used in other industries such as construction
and jewelry making. Using computer software, a 3D printer becomes a sophisticated machine capable of
producing life-like objects from real materials.
3D printers have a lot of applications that range from military to medical to domestic uses. For instance, surgeons
use 3D printing technology to create custom prosthetics for their patients. Meteorologists use it to create weather
simulations for their reports. And agriculturalists use it to grow crops in a controlled environment without using
soilor sunlight. On the entertainment front, movies produced using three- dimensional characters have a much
more realistic feel - which is due to the accurate three-dimensional models produced using 3D printing
technology.
With so many revolutionary uses, 3D printing is rapidly becoming one of the most powerful tools in our arsenal
of modern technologies. The technology has already revolutionized manufacturing by allowing anyone with
access to acomputer and $3,000 to create life-like objects at will. However, this technology has only just begun
to scratch the surface of what this exciting new method can do for us in the future.
Examples of 3D Printing
3D printing encompasses many forms of technologies and materials as 3D printing is being used
in almostall industries you could think of. It’s important to see it as a cluster of diverse industries
with a myriad of different applications.
A few examples:
Since it supports multiple stages of product development from conceptualization, design and
engineering to manufacturing, it is considered a CAx-software and is sometimes referred to as a
3D Product Lifecycle Management software suite. Like most of its competition it facilitates
collaborative engineering through anintegrated cloud service and have support to be used across
disciplines including surfacing & shape design,electrical, fluid and electronic systems design,
mechanical engineering and systems engineering.
Besides being used in a wide range of industries from aerospace and defence to packaging design,
CATIAhas been used by architect Frank Gehry to design some of his signature curvilinear
buildings and his company Gehry Technologies was developing their Digital Project software
based on CATIA.
The software has been merged with the company's other software suite 3D XML Player to form
the combined Solidworks Composer Player.
