3. Architecture
3D printing in architecture has great benefits:
Precision when making a model.
Visualize designs physically.
Printing is done autonomously, thus reducing working
time.
Increase the materials with which to make the
designs.
Edit the design several times and reuse the used
material.
Reduced cost on prints.
Create complex pieces and more freedom in design.
4. Types and materials of
3D printing
To carry out designs in architecture, different
techniques are used such as:
-Fused filament deposition printing (FDM).
-Printing by laser sintering (SLS).
-Stereolithography printing (SLA).
-Different materials are used, such as:
Wood,Plastic,Resin or Liquid materials.
With 3d printing you can even make real houses
with concrete, cement or materials typical of a
house.
5. Food
• The use of 3D printers have brought benefits to all food
industries, to lower prices and develop new dishes.
• The use of the printer is mainly layer by layer until the food is
achieved, but the material used is only food, mainly hummus,
pasta, fruits or chocolate.
• It can be used at low or high temperatures.
• In the future these printers will be able to replace the
microwave to prepare our own food, making it healthier and
saving time.
6. Applications
• The sectors where these printers are most
used are:
• Restaurants: Both restaurant chains and
Michelin Stars make use of this system to
replace labor and create new shapes and
flavors.
• Hotels: To print food, such as cookies, with
your logo and give them to customers, thus
revaluing your business.
• Hospitals: Reshaping their dishes and
preparing food for each diet more quickly.
• Cake shop: to create new shapes of cakes to
suit customers, especially in decoration.
7. Medicine
• Thanks to these 3d prints, great strides
have been made in medicine to improve
people's lives.
-Facilitate diagnoses with more accurate
tests.
-Simulate and plan surgeries.
-Elaboration of prostheses of any part of the
body, facials, bionic arms, sternum, cranial,
dental pieces
-Print ultrasound of babies.
-Elaboration of headphones.
8. • All these advances have benefits, not only
to improve people's health, which is the
most important thing, but to be able to
produce medical supplies in a simple and
economical way and also for the training
of professionals.
• The most used materials are titanium,
metal, plastic, ceramic or resin among
others.
• Another great advance is the creation of
medications through 3D printers, which
will allow you to have a personalized
medication and also not take too many
medications.
9. Tools
• 3D printers have arrived to make our lives easier.
• You can make tools of all kinds,
-For our house, as support for phones or tablets, speakers, juicer.
-To work: screws, screwdrivers, wrenches.
and many more!!!!
10. Space
• 3D printing is important so that satellites can
create pieces in space without having to go
down to earth for repairs and thus lower costs
and make the work of astronauts easier.
• In order to carry out this, a machine has also
been created to recycle plastic materials into
printable materials in order to be able to
create any type of part in 3D. From medical
supplies to spare parts for satellites. Its
purpose in being able to use materials from
space such as lunar dust.
• Research continues in this field to create
much larger and more complex structures
such as telecommunication antennas or
telescopes in space.
11. • Thanks to this technology, large satellites
have been created with 3D printed antennas
and other structures made from a single
component. This makes satellites lighter and
also more economical.
• A lunar vehicle with 3D technology has also
been created, in titanium and aluminum,
whose weight is less than a normal vehicle,
which makes it easier to send it into space.
• And mini-satellites have also been made to
empower space missions in the future.
• His next mission: to live in space.
12. Bio-printing
• Bioprinting is the creation of cellular structures through the 3D printer and
thanks to this tissue, organs and even blood vessels can be created for
transplants and new drugs.
• Today they are already used, but they continue to do research to improve
people's lives.
• Mainly stem cells are used to develop the impressions but biodegradable
and biocompatible materials such as titanium powder are also used.
13. • The most used techniques are:
-By ink injection.
-By extrusion.
-Assisted by laser.
-By acoustic waves.
• The process begins in the laboratory with the cells, which are multiplied and mixed with
a liquid to form the ink, this is put into the printer cartridge and placed layer by layer
until the objective is achieved.
