3D printer Technology _ A complete presentationVijay Patil
3D printing is a process of making 3D objects from a digital file by laying down successive layers of material. The first 3D printer was created in 1984 by Charles Hull. Since then, 3D printing has advanced and become used in many industries like industrial design, automotive, aviation, architecture, food preparation, and medicine. There are different 3D printing methods like selective laser sintering, stereolithography, and fused deposition modeling. While 3D printing provides advantages like rapid prototyping, reduced waste, and ability to create complex shapes, it also faces challenges like slow speeds, weak components, and high costs of materials and printers. However, 3D printing is expected to become more commonplace in the future
3D Printing is now changing the way we manufacture many objects in amazing ways, from tools, toys, and jewelry, to food, and even body parts! It's a technology revolution happening in new kinds of factories, and even in homes, around the world. But how does it work exactly, and why has the economist, Jeremy Rifkin, called it an important key to the Third Industrial Revolution? This talk explains the basics of 3D printing technology, and what you need to know to begin designing and printing your own creations, with or without your own 3D printer.
Tinyboy Project - A 3D printer for studentWan Leung Wong
This document describes the TinyBoy 3D printer project, which aims to create an affordable and small 3D printer for students. It summarizes the origins of 3D printing from the RepRap project in 2005. The TinyBoy printer is much smaller than typical RepRap printers, addressing issues like limited class time for students to print designs. Its specifications include a print size of 8.5x8.5x8.5 cm and use of 1.75mm plastic filament. The goal is for the open source TinyBoy design to be easily built and used by students to support hands-on design and creativity learning.
3D printing allows for the creation of 3D objects by layering materials based on digital files. It has various applications across fields like education, engineering, and construction. While 3D printers can produce single items as cheaply as mass production, each printed object is typically small in size and limited to two colors. 3D printing gives consumers power to personally customize and create objects that fit their unique needs and interests.
The document discusses 3D printing from an investment firm's perspective. It provides an overview of 3D printing, including its history, key players in the market, and potential areas of application. It then examines different viewpoints on whether 3D printing is just a buzzword or could revolutionize manufacturing. While some see it as a gimmick, optimists believe 3D printing will hybridize with conventional manufacturing as its costs decrease and capabilities increase.
3D printing involves using various processes to create 3D objects of any shape by laying down successive layers of liquid, powder, or sheet material according to a digital design file. It was invented in 1983 but has since developed many new features. It is used widely in manufacturing tools for industries like medicine, where it can be used to produce simulated organs, as well as for jewelry, art, architecture, and fashion design. In the future, 4D printing may allow objects to have sound, taste, and other interactive properties.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.
“It is not craft as ‘handicraft’ that defines contemporary craftsmanship: it is craft as knowledge that empowers a maker to take charge of technology.” (Peter Dormer). This SlideShare is an introduction to 3D printing, illustrated with just a very small selection of appplications, mostly within applied art and designer making. Hoping this is inspirational and encourages you to try it out for yourself!

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, allows for complex geometries to be created at low cost, enables mass customization by printing unique parts, and facilitates innovation by reducing the risks of trying new ideas. It encourages more integrated collaboration between engineers, designers, and other fields. While technical challenges remain regarding part strength and material options, 3D printing's ability to bridge disciplines has great potential to drive new innovations.
3D printing involves using additive manufacturing technologies to create 3D objects by superimposing successive layers of material. The technology was pioneered in the 1970s and 1980s by Hideo Kodama and Chuck Hull, who developed early 3D printers and methods. Today, 3D printing uses CAD files to guide the precise placement of materials layer by layer on a construction platform or bed. There are various printing methods that use different materials and result in different surface finishes. Applications now include education, food printing, archeology, art, fashion, medicine, and domestic use.
3D Printing and Open Design. A Bright Future for Engineering and Design Profe...Peter Troxler
The coming decades will bring revolutionary changes to manufacturing. A large share of production could shift from mass manufacturing to local, small batch manufacturing. The main driver behind this development are the possibilities of 3D printing.
Additionally, companies will probably include open source strategies to manage their portfolio of intellectual assets. Crowd sourced innovation will complement in-house R&D activities. Engineers and designers will be faced with a radically new working environment and new demands on their work. 3D printing brings new freedoms in engineering and design. Open design evokes the image of the designer as an orchestrator of co-design. But brutal pressure on speed and efficiency in engineering and design might be a consequence of small batch production. And there is the democratisation of the means of production: As blogs for journalists and Instagram for professional photographers, easy design tools and 3D printers might turn into a menace for the design profession itself.

Adam Greco has over a decade of experience in web analytics. When he started, Webtrends dominated the market and Google Analytics did not exist. Mobile phones were not smart and social networks were just emerging. Over time, the analytics industry has changed dramatically but some challenges have remained the same. Greco emphasizes the importance of visualizing data, complementing analytics with qualitative feedback, integrating analytics into processes early, and relating analytics to business objectives and outcomes.
Christi Olson discusses how artificial intelligence is amplifying marketing ingenuity. AI allows marketers to reason over large data sets, understand customers through natural inputs like text and images, and interact with customers in new ways through conversational commerce and intelligent bots. By 2020, customers will manage 85% of their relationships with enterprises without interacting with humans, according to Gartner.
The MMA and its MATT initiative have been working for over 2 years to better understand multi-touch attribution (MTA) and how to help marketers improve measurement and attribution of marketing campaigns. MATT conducted several studies measuring real campaigns and found that optimizing campaigns by including mobile often increased key metrics like sales by over 10%. MATT also found that targeting and personalizing mobile campaigns could further increase metrics by hundreds of percent. However, MTA is complex with many possible format, data, and targeting combinations to test. MATT aims to provide guidance to help marketers choose the right MTA providers and solutions.
This document discusses the use of machine learning for predicting customer lifetime value (CLV). It argues that while machine learning is well-suited for classification and descriptive tasks, it falls short for long-term CLV prediction because it tries to explain all customer behavior patterns. Instead, CLV models should embrace the inherent randomness in customer actions. The document then presents the standard new view of using CLV models to make forecasts, and then applying machine learning to explain differences across customers based on those predictions. It provides examples of layering machine learning on top of CLV models for B2C and B2B customers.
This document provides an overview of topics from an eMetrics Summit presentation on making yourself indispensable to your search marketing team.

Mary Owusu is the Director of Analytics at Eric Mower + Associates. She leads the analytics discipline and SEO team. She discusses the lack of diversity and inclusion in corporate America, with women representing 52% of the population but holding only a small percentage of leadership roles. Data shows women fall behind early in their careers and continue to lose ground. While over 40% of math degrees are earned by women, they remain underrepresented in technology fields and face pay gaps. Both genders benefit from diversity, but changing perceptions requires empowering ourselves through networking and avoiding language that diminishes our power, as well as actively participating in discussions about gender inequalities.
This document discusses the Women in Analytics (WiA) community within the Digital Analytics Association. WiA aims to support gender equality in analytics through education, advocacy, and influencing issues facing women. It provides community through online and in-person events. New thought leader conversations are announced. WiA has created a compensation survey and plans a mentor program. It asks for feedback on how to better serve members and invites others to join.
The document discusses using programmatic advertising data and machine learning techniques to better understand audiences and predict consumer behavior. It provides examples of how predictive modeling was used to gain insights about audiences for a watch brand and a non-dairy milk brand entering the US market. Segmentation analysis identified relevant subgroups for the non-dairy milk brand. The document advocates rethinking the use of programmatic data from media execution and optimization to gaining a deeper understanding of audiences through artificial intelligence techniques.
The document discusses the challenges of data and analytics. It argues that the hardest part of analytics is obtaining and organizing data, not the analysis itself. It also suggests that companies get bogged down in data issues and maintaining the status quo, rather than using analytics to gain insights that could improve their businesses.
The document discusses the benefits and challenges of building an in-house data science team at OSF Healthcare. It provides examples of projects the team has worked on, including readmission models, cost and utilization models, staffing simulation, and natural language processing.

This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of healthcare analytics from UPMC's perspective. It notes that healthcare analytics is expensive and difficult due to the complexity of healthcare data and systems. However, UPMC has heavily invested in technology and leverages that investment across its organization. Healthcare analytics aims to gain new insights not previously possible from paper records alone and generate hypotheses without preconceived notions. This can help understand patient sharing patterns, regional population health issues, and how patients move between chronic disease clusters. The document warns that while big data creates new opportunities, it also risks consuming the information it produces if not approached carefully.
Stephen Morse is a consultant and advisor in the areas of FinTech, AI, and alternative data. He has over 20 years of experience in these fields, previously working at firms involved in data and financial technology. He is now the founder of Neudata, a company that leverages alternative data sources like social media to provide insights for financial markets. In his presentation, Morse discusses how analyzing data from Twitter, estimates from crowdsourcing platforms, geotagged social media posts, and other alternative sources can provide alpha and reveal breaking news or events that impact markets. He provides numerous examples of how social media posts and analyses from these sources predicted market movements.
The document discusses various methods for evaluating market timing systems, including the Sharpe ratio, days ahead per year (DAPY), and Modigliani ratio. It notes that while market timing seems appealing, it is very difficult to achieve in practice due to challenges in distinguishing skill from luck, the efficiency of markets, and the psychological impact of losses from failed bets. Blackjack is provided as an analogy for how market timing could work if an investor was able to identify pockets of inefficiency, but that it is difficult to recreate historical market conditions accurately.
- The document discusses using customer journey analytics to better understand the customer experience. It recommends creating a customer journey map, validating it with metrics and analytics, and getting customer feedback. Predictive analytics can be used to find causes of behaviors and key message points. Tracking business metrics alongside the customer perspective is also important. Overall, linking the customer journey to analytics provides strategic and tactical benefits for businesses.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Editor's Notes
Full-color 3D printing for consumers is definitely something like the Holy Grail for many manufacturers. And many of these ambitious companies actually died in this quest for a functional, affordable and performant desktop full-color 3D printer. Pirx, botObjects… very promising brands paid the ultimate price (not to mention the various failed Kickstarters).
VANITY
Glamour
And this is just one example, of the thousands of potential uses for multi-colour 3D printing. From artists and designers, to doctors, to engineers – anything printed that has an aspect of communication, or aesthetic can be improved with the addition of colour.
In word that fourth dimension is communication
we categorize as multi-color or full-color the 3D printers capable of using a wide range of colors and combining them to create a full color object. This distinction is important, as sometimes 3D printers with a dual extruders are referred to as multi-color since they can technically extrude 2 filaments of different colors at the same time, thus creating an object in 2 colors. this is NOT what we call multi-color or full-color 3D printers
ColorJet Printing involves two major elements: a core material (powder) and a binder. The binder is the colored material. It comes in the form of CYMK cardridges (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black), kind of similar to a traditional printer. The powdered core material is spread in thin layers over the build platform. After each layer of core material is spread, the color binder is selectively jetted from the inkjet print heads over the core layer, causing the core to solidify and to get its color. The process is repeated layer by layer. Once the 3D print is complete, an infiltrant is used to finish the part and obtain a sandstone-like object, with a porous surface and a “rough” finish.
2. Projet 3D printers by 3D SYSTEMS – from $35,000
Z Corporation (also known as Z Corp.) was acquired by 3D Systems on January 3 2012, mainly because their multi-color 3D printing technology was something missing at the time in 3D Systems’ portfolio. Since then, 3D System has been a reference for multi-color 3D printing. The Z Corp technology has been used by 3D Systems to develop their proprietary full-color 3D printing process, called ColorJet Printing (CJP). The ProJet 4500 and the industrial 3D printers of the ProJet X60 line use ColorJet Printing.
The ProJet 4500 and the industrial 3D printers of the ProJet X60 line use ColorJet Printing. The entry-level multi-color 3D printers from 3D Systems cost around than $35,000 while the more advanced models cost up to $200,000.
4. The IRIS HD by Mcor – $40,000 – $50,000
The Mcor IRIS HD is a 3D printer that uses paper as the print material, to achieve high quality full-color 3D prints, with more than 1 million colors in full CYMK mode! The multi-color 3D printing technology developed by Mcor is called Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL). First, a classic inkjet printer print the paper sheets in color, following a specific order. Then the 3D printer cuts and glues the sheets of paper on top of each over to build the 3D printed object, which will be fully colored. The systems works with standard paper sheets (A4 or letter size).
At CES 2016 the Irish company Mcor, one of the few color 3D printer manufacturer, introduced the Mcor ARKe. This professional 3D printer is desktop sized (880 x 593 x 633 mm) and capable of 3D printing on paper. The printed objects are colored and can have a maximum size of 240 x 205 x 125 mm. Mcor announced a price of $5,999 for this innovative machine.
Stratasys 3D printers from the Connex1 and Connex2 series and some other models (such as the Objet24 Pro or Prime) are capable of producing multi-materials and multi-color objects, but the number of colors is limited.
1. Objet Connex3 3 printers by Stratasys – from $150,000
Stratasys has developed a proprietary multi-color 3D printing technology called PolyJet. They offer a line of full-color industrial 3D printers called the Connex3 series. The Polyjet process is similar to inkjet printing, but instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, the 3D printer jets layers of curable liquid photopolymer onto a build tray. The liquid photopolymer is then directly cured by UV rays to obtain a solid, colored layer.
The Connex3 series full-color 3D printers are not only capable of using different colors, they can also combine materials with different physical properties in a single print (soft and hard materials for example), making them perfect for realistic prototypes and mockups. It is even possible to 3D print transparent materials. These full-color 3D printers are expensive, with prices starting around $100k.
Stratasys introduced in April 2016 a new 3D printer capable of producing 3D objects with up to 6 different materials, with 360,000 colors available.
The Multi Jet fusion process has been adapted from traditional inkjet printing techniques. It works on a layer-by-layer basis, using a scanner and print bar fitted with 30,000 nozzles that apply layers of material coating. This material is then locked in place with fixing agents and a heat source, before a new layer begins.
The system applies over 350 million drops per second, with an accuracy of 21 microns - a tenfold improvement over other 3D printing techniques and superior to laser sintering system used by many industrial 3D printers today.
MJF – JET FUSION 3200 -50 times faster than FDM
OPEN SOURCE MATERIAL!
120000 USD – 150000 USD
We think maybe Hewlett-Packard (HP): the print/computer giant is about to enter the 3D printing field, with a possibly groundbreaking technology called Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). Their 3D printer could be capable of 3D printing in full color at very high speed. But given the precedents, we’re not ready to bet anything on this and it’ll likely be a few years before we see an actual multi-color consumer-grade 3D printers under $5,000.
The approach of Mosaic Manufacuring is different. It uses a standalone box, called the Palette, which feeds a mulicolored filament to any single-color 3-D printer. Basically, you put the shoebox-sized Palette between almost any 3-D printer and four spools of filament. Then Palette chops and changes the color, so the printer has the right color material coming out of the printer head at any given moment.
Although it might seem like a fairly niche product, the Palette represents a major leap forwards for cheap, consumer printing. There’s a limited number of things that people really want to print out of one single color of plastic, but as soon as you add multiple colors, and multiple materials into the mix, the possibilities explode.
3. The 3DPandoras by SKY-TECH – around $12,000
The 3D printing technology used by SKY-TECH with the 3DPandoras is quite similar to the core and binder technology used by 3D Systems. This Taiwanese manufacturer recently launched the 3DPandoras with the goal to make full-color 3D printing more affordable. while not compromising on quality.
X1 by Addwii: a desktop multi-color 3D printer made in Taiwan, around $12,000. Very hard to get users feedback but we thought we’d list it here anyway
DyeMansion: announced at the 2015 formnext conference, this German start-up also goes around the usual technical roadblocks of full-color 3D printing and offers an innovative high-quality coloring and finishing solution for laser-sintered parts.
With 51 liters of usable coloring volume and a processing time of just under 3 hours, the machine can be run several times daily. For example, up to 300 eyeglass frames including the temples can be colored in a single run. With a diameter of 400mm and a height of 450mm even large geometries can be colored.
Spectrom3D: this start-up was ambitious and got a lot of press when they announced their “revolution for color 3D printing”. A few months later, we’re not sure they’re still operating. Another casualty on the full-color 3D printers battlefield?
whiteclouds: this US-based 3D printing service is equipped with an impressive range of industrial-grade 3D printers, including the full range of multi-color 3D Systems machines in order to offer full-color 3D printing to their enterprise customers.
The company has now announced its expansion into a new 60,000-square-foot facility and the installation of 14 additional full-color 3D printers from 3D Systems into their production line. This means that WhiteClouds now has a fleet of 24 full-color printers from 3D Systems, including ProJet 660Pros, ProJet 4500s and a ProJet 860Pro, making it the largest full-color 3D print services provider and binder jetting 3D printer farm in the world.
While attending the Consumer Electronics Show 2016, Utah-based 3D printing services company WhiteCloudsannounced that they will be purchasing 3DplusMe, the branded 3D capture-to-print company responsible for the 3D printed likeness kiosks popping up in retail stores all over the country. 3DplusMe has ongoing licensing deals with some of the largest video game, entertainment and sports brands in the industry, and they are one of the largest suppliers of 3D printed merchandise to consumers in the country. This year the company has had a tremendous amount of success in delivering full-color 3D products to customers, so it isn’t a surprise that they would be a tantalizing target for WhiteClouds.
Apple: the Cupertino giant actually patented a “method and apparatus for three dimensional printing of colored objects” back in 2104. Could Apple release some day the ultimate user-friendly multicolor 3D printer? We think it’s unlikely anytime soon, but within 5-10 years, who know
It’s unclear, at this time, if Apple plans to market the printer it describes. Apple fanatics hoping for a 3D printer to go with their iPhones may be tearing their hair out at this point, as the company started filing 3D printing-related patents but is still remaining mum about what it intends to do with them. It seems unlikely, however, that Apple would pass on the opportunity to grab onto such a rapidly growing and lucrative piece of technology
