The Future of the World 3D Printing By: Andrew Gruszka

3D Printing began after the invention of Inkjet printers The technology has rapidly evolved Used to cost 100k+, now everyone can afford them History

All 3D printers begin with a Computer-Aided Design These designs tell the printer what they need to do There are many different programs to make CAD’s. Basic Design

Additive Manufacturing  This is the basis of 3D printing  Without this, 3D printers would be much slower and more expensive

First method of 3D Printing Invented by Charles Hull in 1988 Basis for future 3D printing technologies Stereolythography (SLA)

FUSION DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM)  Second method of 3D printing developed  Uses different materials than SLA  Useful for more consumer purposes

Newest and most popular method of 3D printing Can make use of a wide range of materials Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) Materials WaxGold NylonSilver GlassTitanium Stainless SteelAluminum

3D printing is making huge strides in being used in the Medical community Prosthetics Artificial Blood Vessels Medical Uses

3D printed Jawbone An 83 year old woman in the Netherlands had her jaw replaced by a 3D printed titanium implant after getting a bone infection.

3D Printing Technology continues to grow exponentially and will have a huge impact upon manufacturing and production of goods everywhere The future is undefined for 3D printing, however… Future
