Printing entered a new world that was closest to imagination, a major transformation that resulted in saving a lot of time, effort, and a large amount of equipment.
The transition from the world of regular printing to the world of 3D printing is considered a qualitative shift and an achievement whose results have begun to appear in a way that heralds a major change in our future and even more so in the future of the next generations.
The principle of printing depends on converting stored information into models by creating a number of successive layers to form the required models in an ideal manner and in record time.
The printer in the field of 3D printing is programmed in a way that it can distinguish between the end of a layer and the beginning of a new layer. It also has the advantage that the printer can provide a prototype of the desired model, providing the opportunity to change or modify. Computer design programs are the cornerstone for creating the project before moving to the implementation phase.
3D printers are capable of printing very strong and lightweight materials, and they use technology similar to the inkjet method in traditional printers.
The most important 3D printing programs:
3D printing depends on computer design programs used specifically for this type of work, including these programs.
- There are a good number of programs for specific companies operating within this field.
- STL is a basic formula in 3D printers and depends on only one colour to work.
- VRML adopts a multi-colour format, and this type of printer contains more than one device for jetting materials.
Fields of use of the 3D printer:
3D printers manufacture everything in theory, but in practice they are based on the materials they are supplied with. Each type of printer has a specific material that it is equipped to extrude, such as plastic, cement, and metal, and thus it manufactures buildings such as buildings, which are the most common fields, as well as devices and equipment, and so on.
Living examples of the beauty of 3D printing in our lives:
In the field of food, the first restaurant in the world in London prepares meals using 3D printing technology.
Brazil used the field of 3D printing to create an upper beak for the toucan instead of its broken beak, the artificial beak was successfully placed on the bird, as well as on a turtle whose shell was destroyed in forest fires. A new shell was manufactured for the turtle using 3D printing technology, and the shell was placed on the turtle successfully.
3D buildings are the future of real estate:
Dubai tops the list of the most important cities in the world in the field of 3D printing of buildings. He has come a long way in this field. Dubai succeeded in printing the first building using 3D printing technology, as well as printing the largest building with the same technology. It also succeeded in printing and building the office of the future within 17 days, as this technology was adopted for Dubai to reduce the labour rate and save time and cost by up to 80%.
Perhaps 3D printing will cause some professions to disappear in the future, but it has begun to establish a new type of job opportunities that depend on purchasing 3D printers, specializing in a specific field, and starting a new project independently or through mastering computer programs specialized in the field of design related to 3D printing.
