On the Application of 3D Printing (Part 1) (Modify)

Shenmu got the whole set of Copernicus publications when he was 10 years old. At that time, the little Shenmu liked to read books the most. He read more than one book every day. His future ambition is to become a great scientist and work in NASA ( ? At that time, I saw the information about the 3D printer in the book, and I was shocked!! There is actually a machine that can copy things, and it only costs 15,000 yuan!!! (Xiao Shenmu did not understand US dollars and Taiwan dollars at that time. The difference, at that time I planted the idea that I must have a printer XD It's so willful!

In fact, why the 3D printer suddenly appeared in front of the public, and the technology has actually matured when it appeared, that is because 3D printing has been in existence for more than 30 years! But the reason it has only appeared in recent years is that , The patent part has only gradually expired in recent years. After the expiration, the technology has been open sourced and has been continuously modified before it is presented to the public in a low-cost and easy-to-operate way. There are many different types of 3D printing, please see below Introduce~

The general category of 3D printers

There are currently 5 more common types of 3D printing

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Stereolithography (SLA)

Layer Additive Manufacturing (LOM)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

3D printing process method (3DP_Binder Jetting)

At present, the most common and DIY module on the market is FDM. You can go to the previous article to see how it works~

3D printer application

3D printing is currently mostly used for early design, medical prosthetics, academic education

1. Early stage of design

It's like I am an institutional engineer. Every time I design, I need samples to confirm whether there are design mistakes in my design. The proofing time is a long time, and if the design needs to be revised all the time, the cost of proofing The price is sky-high. At this time, the role of the 3D printer is very large. After the modification, the proofing will be printed in the morning, and the sample will be available in the afternoon, which can reduce a lot of design time!

2. Medical prosthetics

Shenmu's former company is an XD that specializes in printing teeth. With high-end scanning equipment, 3D imaging can model the patient's affected part, and then proofing can be used to make new dentures or implants. Exactly the same as before.

3. Academic Education

Academic education is actually very related to Shenmu. Originally, Shenmu wanted to teach children how to assemble 3D printers by themselves, but he was lazy (? And he was busy with work, so the plan was shelved XD

Back to the original story!!! In fact, it is very good for children's enlightenment! If you can plant the seeds of creativity and let children know that their designs can be turned into real products, what a great incentive for children! Imagination is limitless, don't Let your imagination limit yourself.

ㄟIt’s basically like this, yes~ Shenmu finally got 5 3D printers and made them by himself, and when I bought 4 of them, I just bought them all, and fulfilled my childhood dream, but I’m still using 3D printers. After so many years of printing machines, I deeply feel that there are still many deficiencies (leave it for the next article, why typing is more tiring than work.... Who said that text creators have a good job! Come out and talk!! Tired ORZ

The above source is the first draft of my master's thesis, so there must be a typo because I didn't see it.... Hahahaha

@WitchLWitch My paper has been published for 4 years, and it's not republished for academic platforms. It should be no problem, but I'll rewrite it to be safe. XD After all, I may go back and read another one ( ? It's better to be good XD Thanks for your reminder!!!

By the way, the cover is a 3D printing pen, I will show you next time I play it XD
