However, there needs to be a set file for the object in order to successfully do the 3D printing. In the process, the object is printed through thin layers and takes an extensive amount of time to complete.

This virtual design is for instance a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. This CAD file is created using a 3D modeling application or with a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D scanner can make a 3D digital copy of an object.]]> 2017-03-17 11:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761284 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761416 3D Printing is the idea of creating an object with a printer when the thing you are printing is something you don't already have. First you put in the computer what you want and then multiple layers are stacked on top of each other until the product is finished. You can make clothes, utensils, or even prosthetics and organs.]]> 2017-03-17 11:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761416 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761588 2017-03-17 11:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761588 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761663 2017-03-17 11:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761663 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761943 http://drexel.edu/research-enterprise/impact/fight-cancer-3d-printing/

Students at Drexel University made 3-D tumors that were easier to look at rather than a 2-D picture. They were able to closer look at tumors and tissues. This made it easier to figure out how cancer can start and how it can be stopped. A professor made a 3-D version of a cell with a lot of detail. Students can closely look at a cancer cell which, in the long run, can help find a cure.]]> 2017-03-17 11:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761943 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761976 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2thSsQrZUM]]> 2017-03-17 11:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160761976 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762042 2017-03-17 11:59:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762042 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762069 3D Printed food]]> 2017-03-17 11:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762069 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762078 2017-03-17 11:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762078 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762245 3D Printing is used in the medical field to create prosthetic parts much more quicker and efficiently ]]> 2017-03-17 12:00:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762245 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762295 2017-03-17 12:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762295 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762520 2017-03-17 12:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762520 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762569 2017-03-17 12:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762569 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762624 One example of the positive effect is lowered manufacturing cost through recycled and other local materials, but the loss of manufacturing jobs could hit many developing countries severely, which would take time to overcome.]]> 2017-03-17 12:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762624 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762678 2017-03-17 12:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160762678 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160763095 This article gives a good general idea of 3D printing and how it is done. 3D printing creates an object by heating plastic. You start by creating a design for an object on a computer. The technology breaks your design into multiple thin layers. Then, it uses materials such as ceramics, metal, and plastic, which have been melted down, to print the object layer by layer.
One industry which has benefited from the use of 3D printing is that of prosthetics. For example, the Robohand project works on creating prosthetic hands for children who were born without hands.]]> 2017-03-17 12:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160763095 https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160763263 The introduction of 3D Printing has had a significant impact on the education system. ]]> 2017-03-17 12:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jpu2/dhp3hzhvua7o/wish/160763263
