- 14. Projecting the future for 3D printing Market Research and Analysis - Source: Pete Basiliere, Research Director at Gartner 3D printing remains a emerging market, despite high levels of hype: Growing demand for easy-to-use tools and materials Prices to drop with competitive pressures and higher unit sales Advances in 3D printers scanners, design tools, and materials will reduce the cost and complexity of creating 3D printed item Businesses are only now beginning to fully comprehend ways in which a 3DP can be cost-effectively used in their organizations Makers and hobbyists will contribute to some form of “plug and play” tool — that will be key to driving consumer sales in future
- 15. Considerations Define your niche: What customers will you best serve? What role: Will you print as a service, sell the equipment or both? Which Equipment Materials? Content: Where will it come from? Who will own it? Data repair: How will you address the need for scan data processing into 3D printable files? “…making stuff is going to become more localizable. ..more objects can be manufactured closer to the end customers.” (Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO Shapeways – BARRONS.COM 5/9/14) Microsoft 8.1 has added a direct pipeline from 3D printing applications to 3D printers-(PC Magazine – 7/2/13) About HP - The company believes that 3D printing is a natural progression of its 2D printer business, where it has a sizeable share.

- 47. 3D Scanning The DDI technicians scanned four different sculptures: the Amun, the Headless Princess, the Scribe, and a Kneeling King Tut. An articulating arm-based laser line scanner provided high accuracy and real-time feedback to assure complete capture before heading back to Baltimore to process the raw scan data. Ancient Sculptures
- 48. 3D Modeling For the post-processing, we used Innovmetric’s PolyWorks Modeler software to create highly accurate watertight 3D digital models of each of the ancient pieces. Ancient Sculptures
- 49. Data Analysis During both the scanning and modeling processes, specific attention was paid to fine cracks and other imperfections in the original pieces. These are the qualities that would make the reproductions more accurate and realistic. Ancient Sculptures
