- 5. HOW DOES IT WORK It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is for instance a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. This CAD file is created using a 3D modeling application or with a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D scanner can make a 3D digital copy of an object. 3D scanners 3D scanners use different technologies to generate a 3D model. Examples are: time-of-flight, structured / modulated light, volumetric scanning and many more. Recently, companies like Microsoft and Google enabled their hardware to perform 3D scanning, for example Microsoft’s Kinect. In the near future digitizing real objects into 3D models will become as easy as taking a picture. Future versions of smartphones will probably have integrated 3D scanners. Currently, prices of 3D scanners range from expensive professional industrial devices to $30 DIY scanners anyone can make at home. 3D modeling software 3D modeling software also comes in many forms. There’s industrial grade software that costs thousands a year per license, but also free open source software, like Blender, for instance. When you are a beginner and the amount of choices are a bit overwhelming, we recommend to start withTinkercad. Tinkercad has a free version and it works in browsers that support WebGL, for instance Google Chrome. They offer beginner lessons and has a built in option to get your object printed via various 3D printing services.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR 3D PRINTING Source - https://www.industryweek.com/technology-and-iiot/article/21119848/whats-ahead-for-3d-printing-in-2020?utm_source=IY+IW+Daily+Headlines+- +Morning&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS200107006&o_eid=5043J5608590J0J&rdx.ident%5Bpull%5D=omeda%7C5043J5608590J0J&oly_enc_id=5043J5608590J0J As we close another year of progress in 3D printing, it’s an ideal time to take a moment to predict what innovations will unfold in the year ahead. The widely followed 2019 Wohlers Report predicts worldwide spending for all 3D printing products and services will hit $15.8 billion in 2020 and continue to accelerate, reaching $23.9 billion in 2022 and $35.6 billion by 2024. This market expansion is largely the result of improvements in 3D printer technology, including higher parts quality, manufacturing- grade accuracy and repeatability, as well as an expansion of available materials. In addition, 3D printing solution providers are using machine learning (ML) for heightened process control. All of this has resulted in significantly better Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and larger addressable markets Manufacturers across industries are now imagining new ways to apply this technology, first and foremost with an eye toward personalization. Think, electric cars and buses in automotive; prosthetics, orthotics, dental care and organ modeling in life sciences; custom shoes, belts, jewelry and eyewear — you name it — in consumer goods, all personalized and all improved by the lightweight durability of 3D printed parts. Beyond lightweighting, 3D printing can also improve parts and product performance through better fluid management and energy absorption. Bold manufacturers are beginning to “think in 3D” from the outset. Consider these recent examples of major industries using the technology in real ways.

- 19. INDUSTRY WEEK – APRIL 21, 2017 GE will expand its 3-D printing business through a combination of acquisitions and organic growth, Joyce said without naming potential targets. Several additive manufacturers have gained recently on increased investor interest in the technology. Stratasys Ltd. surged 45% this year through Wednesday, while 3D Systems Corp. advanced 15%. New applications are emerging and GE’s aggressive push into the market may lead to quicker adoption of the machines across the factory sector. The global market for industrial 3-D printers and materials increased 17% last year to $6.06 billion, according to data from Wohlers Associates Inc. The research firm projects the market to balloon to $26.2 billion by 2022. GE is even more optimistic. The technology could take a piece of the roughly $14 trillion market for traditional manufacturing, said Mohammad Ehteshami, GE’s vice president of additive integration.
- 20. ALLOYS Source - http://www.hrl.com/news/2017/0920/ MALIBU, Calif. Sept 20, 2017— HRL Laboratories, LLC, has made a breakthrough in metallurgy with the announcement that researchers at the famous facility have developed a technique for successfully 3D printing high-strength aluminum alloys—including types Al7075 and Al6061—that opens the door to additive manufacturing of engineering-relevant alloys. These alloys are very desirable for aircraft and automobile parts and have been among thousands that were not amenable to additive manufacturing—3D printing—a difficulty that has been solved by the HRL researchers. An added benefit is that their method can be applied to additional alloy families such as high-strength steels and nickel-based superalloys difficult to process currently in additive manufacturing. "We're using a 70-year-old nucleation theory to solve a 100-year-old problem with a 21st century machine," said Hunter Martin, who co-led the team with Brennan Yahata. Both are engineers in the HRL's Sensors and Materials Laboratory and PhD students at University of California, Santa Barbara studying with Professor Tresa Pollock, a co-author on the study. Their paper 3D printing of high-strength aluminum alloys was published in the September 21, 2017 issue of Nature.
- 21. INNOVATION http://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/04/game-changing-3d-printers-for-low-cost-metal-parts.html A startup will soon launch game changing 3-D printers that can fabricate metal parts cheaply and quickly enough to make the technology practical for widespread use in product design and manufacturing. The company, Desktop Metal, has raised nearly $100 million from leading venture capital firms and the venture units of such companies as General Electric, BMW, and Alphabet. The founders include four prominent MIT professors, including the head of the school’s department of materials science and Emanuel Sachs, who filed one of the original patents on 3-D printing in 1989.
- 22. MIT BREAKTHROUGH If you haven’t used a 3-D printer yet, you may be surprised to learn that it isn’t fully automated the way your office’s inkjet is. With paper printers, users queue documents from a computer, and each finished sheet drops neatly into a tray, waiting to be collected. With commercial 3-D printers, however, designs are manually programmed into the printer, and each finished part is manually removed before starting a new print, which is very time-consuming. At schools and businesses, a trained expert usually handles all prints, which can be expensive. Now MIT spinout New Valence Robotics (NVBOTS) has brought to market the only fully automated commercial 3-D printer that’s equipped with cloud-based queuing and automatic part removal, making print jobs quicker and easier for multiple users, and dropping the cost per part. To use the printer, called NVPro, a user submits a project from any device, which queues up in the NVCloud software. When a part gets printed, a retractable blade cuts the piece out and moves it into a bin, and the next project begins automatically. Projects can be monitored remotely via webcam. MIT – May 4, 2017

Traditional product liability coverage is typically tied to products manufactured, sold, handled, distributed, or disposed of by the policyholder and may not cover distribution of designs that others use, if the resulting product is alleged to have a design defect. Companies should also consider obtaining product recall insurance to protect against liability resulting from faulty design plans and defective materials that lead to a product recall.

- 28. 3-D WOOD Cellulose is the most abundant and broadly distributed organic compound and industrial by- product on Earth. The bottom-up use of cellulose to fabricate 3D objects has had big problems that prevented printing wood for practical applications. Use in combination with plastics has lacked scalability and has had high production cost. Researchers in Singapore have demonstrated the general use of cellulose to manufacture large 3D objects. They are using fungal-like adhesive material(s) (FLAM). The cost of FLAM is in the range of commodity plastics and 10 times lower than the cost of common laments for 3D printing, such as polylactic acid.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/12/17101856/3d-printed-housing-icon-shelter-housing-crisis Food, water, and shelter are basic human needs, but 1.2 billion people in the world live without adequate housing, according to a report by the World Resources Institute’s Ross Center for Sustainable Cities. Today at SXSW, an Austin-based Startup will unveil its approach to combat that deficiency by using low-cost 3D printing as a potential solution. ICON has developed a method for printing a single-story 650-square-foot house out of cement in only 12 to 24 hours, a fraction of the time it takes for new construction. If all goes according to plan, a community made up of about 100 homes will be constructed for residents in El Salvador next year. The company has partnered with New Story, a non-profit that is vested in international housing solutions. “We have been building homes for communities in Haiti, El Salvador, and Bolivia,” Alexandria Lafci, co- founder of New Story, tells The Verge.

- 32. ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN Source - https://newatlas.com/3d-printing-housing- architecture/53083/ But where architecture is concerned, the size of the projects remains an obstacle and the materials needed for such printing are still being developed. Safety issues also need to be addressed. Burry proposes another competitor for the building construction industry. "I imagine 3D printing coming in parallel with other technologies in the next 10 years, but I would put my money on solid timber construction as the next big trend," she says. Cross-laminated timber is like plywood on steroids, Burry says, a bit like concrete in that it can be used to build the entire structure of a house in slab form, rather than having to build an internal frame. This means homes can be built faster and potentially cheaper. "That's not to say these technologies can't progress in parallel," she says. "Indeed, we can even 3D-print with timber-based material." Much remains to be explored. We might not be 3D-printing homes on the moon anytime soon, but the technology will make more complex geometries possible, with building components that can adapt to climate changes and others assembled in a variety of materials. We can't wait to see what the next development will be.
