2. What is 3d printing?
“Additive manufacturing”:
Creating a three
dimensional object
by adding layer to
layer, until the entire
object is complete

3. www.etsy.com/shop/BixieStudiosLLC (launching soon!)
Design 3D print
(2 days
including
shipping)
RTV
(room temperature)
mold
(12 hours)
Final cast product
Manufacturing:
Speeding time to market with 3D printed prototypes

4. In the same way that the internet compressed
time for distribution of information (bits)...
...3d printing compresses time for the design,
manufacturing, & distribution of physical objects (atoms)

5. 3D printing = Disintermediation
on a mammoth scale
(time)
(uniqueness)
(transportation)
(inventory)
(design)

6. 40% faster time to market for
architecture & construction
costs 30%-50% less than
conventional construction
Printing full scale houses

7. with customized results
and never before possible
biomemetic shapes

8. Chemprinting drugs
On demand, immediately
available customized
pharmaceuticals
Chemistry
professor Lee
Cronin with his
“chemputer”:
"I just want to
get stuff done
fast," he says.

9. Bioprinting human tissue for
research & therapeutic applications
(human liver tissue in this case)

10. Bioprinting skin & organs

11. Reconstructing (and improving)
humans with custom
3d printed prosthetics

12. Improving prosthetics with custom
3D printed design

13. Revolutionizing the
dental industry
with 3d printed
production of models for
crowns, bridges,
retainers, & other dental
devices

14. So the next time
someone mentions 3D
printing and “guns”,
you can tell them
there’s a lot more to
the story.
