As biologists are busy working on cloning living organisms, engineers are working on a mechanical counterpart – creating non-living things that can replicate themselves. Recently, more than 100 researchers from around the world have been working on a project called RepRap (Replicating Rapid-prototyper), which started in 2004. At the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK, the [...] North Technical High School’s Precision Machining Program recently received a modern Dimension 1200es 3D printer System. In today’s field of engineering, architecture, and design, prototyping a three dimensional drawing is an essential step in the design process. A 3D printer combines or fuses successive layers of material in a form of “additive manufacturing” [...] With the help of their latest invention in science – a 3D printer, researchers managed to create the exact copy of a man’s thumb bones. The device can now be used to help surgeons restore damaged bones by creating their precise copies, which are made from the patient’s cells. According to Christian Weinand of the Insel [...] When you are using a 3D printer to make an actual model of something, you may be curious about how your design goes from something on a computer screen to an object that you can pick up and hold. Understanding the steps that a 3D printer takes is extremely crucial if you want to grasp [...] This story is, literally, stone age meets digital age: University of Washington researchers are combining the ancient art of ceramics and the new technology of 3-D printing. Along the way, they are making 3-D printing dramatically cheaper. About five years ago, Mark Ganter, a UW mechanical engineering professor and longtime practitioner of 3-D printing, [...] |
