5.
6. You only need a printer, raw material, and
software to tell the printer what to print
7.
8. AREAS OF APPLICATION OF 3D PRINTERS
Industrial design
Automotive and aviation Industrials
Architecture
Food industry
Medical
Jewelry
Footwear
Engineering and construction
9. Designers use 3D printer to quickly create product models and
prototypes
10. Automotive and aviation industries use 3D printers to make
body parts
15. Rapid prototyping
Clean process
Complex shape
Easy to use
Cheap Cheaper process than any other process
16.
17. Process is slow
Components do not have enough strength
Raw Materials
Misuse
3-D printer are still expensive
18. Open-source
Pathology
Archaeology
Paleontology
3D printer are always getting cheaper and better
The benefits of such technology are endless
19. Relatively New Technology
No restrictions no industry
Significant decrease in product development cycle and coats
Full effects on business and society still not know
Resistance to change
