3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The presentation focuses on the future applications of 3D printing and includes a survey of students. Key findings are that 3D printing is currently seen as expensive with uses in small products and medicine, while future applications may include automotive, aviation, construction, and printing organs using bio-inkjet techniques. Reducing costs and developing new materials are seen as ways to increase adoption of 3D printing technologies.

4. what is 3D Printing?
• Additive Manufacturing (AM)
• A process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file

5. History and Development
Birth of the 3 main 3D Printing
Techniques
1980: First patent of Rapid prototyping
by Japanese Dr Kodama
1984: Stereolithography by french then
abandoned
1986: Charles Hull took up
Stereolithography
1987: First SLA-1 machine
Emergence of the Main 3D Printers Manufacturers & CAD
tools
1990: First EOS Stereos system
1992: FDM patent to Stratasys
1993: Solidscape was founded
1995: Z Corporation obtained an exclusive license from the MIT
1999: Engineered organs in the field of medical

6. History and Development ( continue)
Gains Media Visibility
2000: 3D printed working kidney was created
2005: Z Corp. launched Spectrum Z510. First
high-definition color 3D Printer on the market.
2008: The first 3D printed prosthetic leg was
created
2009: Sculpteo was created
Years of Visibility, Innovation and Hopes
2010: First 3D printed prototype car (Urbee) was
presented.
2011: Cornell University began to build 3D food
printer
2012: The first prosthetic jaw was printed and
implanted
2016: Daniel Kelly’s lab announces being able to 3D
print bone

11. Lastest application of 3D printing with smart phone
3D printing technology
becoming closer to us.
Easier to get the rendering for
printing, which is likely to
encourage people using 3D
printer for fun.

13. Data collected and analysis
● 3D printing technology is familiar to
most of them.
● However, even people heard about 3D
printing. Most of them will decide NOT
to buy a 3D printer.
● Domestic usage seems not the future
trend.

14. Data collected and analysis
Key consideration to rise the
domestic usage in the future
● Reasonable and affordable
price
● Special and practical
● functions Enhancement of
the convenience

15. People currently think of and getting
understanding that 3D printing can
produce small products and more
advanced in the medical sector
( Having higher rate of being
reported and promoted)
Those having lower recognition→
● Need special materials (safe to
use and strong enough)
Data collected and analysis

16. Data collected and analysis
To rise the application of 3D
printing→ Reducing the cost
It seems that people feel 3D
printing expensive.
Reducing cost→
● Lower price
● Creating incentive for industry
as well as public to use more
● Broadening the market(gaining
more recognition through mass
media)

17. Data collected and analysis
Predicted demand (future
applications)→
Industry requiring precise and
personal products
More new applications
● Based on the knowledge now
further enhance
● Larger market
Least possible to be in future→
Industry producing identical,
massive and involve of safeness
Lower use in future
● No reason to change the current
production process

18. Conclusion
• For the future applications→
Specific and user-based market > Luxury and daily use
• New applications from previous technology & Brand new use in future
• Valued as high-technology (expensive)
• Change the value
• Lower price
• Less likely to know other application→ Even having new technology low
applying rate
• More usage of 3D printing + technology enhancement
• Diversify the development in 3D printing(creating different
products)
• Investigating possible use
