3D Printing Debunked
3D Printing Definition The process of printing a 3D solid object of from a digital model additive manufacturing rather than traditional subtractive process
Myth 1: Its new 3D printing technology emerged in early eighties and was patented in 1986 by Charles Hull.
Myth 2: They self-replicate 3D printers need vitamins; metal drivers, electronics, rods or motors to work that cant (yet) be made on 3D printers The Reprap project is an example of this
Myth 3: Its just for computer geeks Consumer-friendly software Scanning & customisation Prices starting from 贈500 for a 3D printer
Myth 4: 3D printed guns, a danger to society Blueprints freely available online for download currently 3D printed gun carried through an airport The Liberator, it is made of 16 parts for assembly Legislation gathering pace to address security concerns
Myth 5: 3D printed food to end famine NASA scientists developing 3D-printed food as answer to food shortage, inflation, starvation Simulated food made from powdered organic molecules from insects and algae Likely to be used in space programs the the future, still in development
3D printing: creative possibility

Editor's Notes

  1. Its likely that most downloads are not going to equal a gun
  2. Still being developed, likely to be used by astronauts in the future
