3D Printing by Marta Berlese https://padlet.com/marta_berlese25/tymjml5k8pwc A modern technology of more thirty years old en-us 2017-01-11 11:05:42 UTC 2025-10-13 05:48:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Clouds.png 1980s marta_berlese25 https://padlet.com/marta_berlese25/tymjml5k8pwc/wish/146474766 The beginnings date back officially to 1982, when Mr. Chuck Hull invented the Stereolithography, and founding the 3D Systems - the company still firmly at the apex in the field - gave birth to the first commercial example of rapid prototyping, and STL format. 

In 1985 introduces patent and gets it in 1986. The next step was to found his company and starting with the distribution of 3D printers since the 90 He laid the foundations and opened the way for all those who followed him, while remaining he and his company abreast of the innovations - in fact, he patented the concept of physical objects created as a sequence of superimposed layers 2d is still valid today.

In 1986, Carl Deckard, Joe Beaman (pictured below) and Paul Forderhase (and several other researchers) developed the ideas of Chuck Hull, and developed the selective laser sintering - sintering - a very similar process to that previously discovered, but making a edit: they changed the resin with the nylon, or a liquid with a powder. Being a solid powder, this does not need to media, and then brings a series of advantages from the practical side.

In 1988 Mr. Crump patented the Fused deposition modeling - or 3D printing with meltedmaterial. It puts aside both the laser, both the powder and uses melted plastic from "spreadable" layer to layer depending on the object. Later he founded the Stratasys, a company which is also a leader in the field.

The 4thprinting technology is the one that allows you to print in color - up to a maximum of 28 -called "Three dimensional printing". In addition to color printing is a technology useful and costly for stamapre objects very faithful to reality.

In 1995, the German Fraunhofer Institute, gave way to the Selective laser melting method - For the first time, the 3D printing world knew of the possibility of producing very solid objects, with a density that had little to envy the traditional industry. Thanks to this method you can fuse metal powder and obtain objects with a density of 98%.

With this method you get to get even metal objects with a density equal to 99.98% even.

In 2005 Mcor Technologies Ltd - Irish society - from the beginning of the Paper 3d laminated printing. In practice they invented a machine that overlaps sheets of paper on which in turn is printed. The result is an additive method, however, allows the use of colors, all colors.

In 2005, thanks to the principle of self replicating rapid Prototyper you have the real breakthrough in the world of 3d printers. From the moment they splancano the doors for the production and innovation of home printers. What happened? The real revolution occurred in England and consists in having created a 3D printer that reproduces itself. Phenomenal. Understand the scope of an event like that - equivalent to giving into the hands of thousands of young designers and dreamers the keys to develop their passion. And so it went. From this moment born hundreds of 3d printers that thanks to platforms Crwodfounding Kickstarter and Indiegogo are lenders.

The RepRap project is completely open source, or free and downloadable for anyone who wants to try their hand in rebuilding their 3d printer.

It is a service that best describe here - consists of a network of 3D printers, to which all owners can join, with whom the company provides a printing service 3d and shipping worldwide.

In 2008, Bre Pettis, Adam Mayer, and Zach "Hoeken" Smith founded the MakerBot Industries and start their thriving business.
The result was the first printer sold in kit and it was an incredible success.

In 2010 he starts talking about Contour crafting and collaborations between NASA and 3d printing world. The contour crafting is the three-dimensional printing using cement as a print material. This means that with the means of the appropriate size can print houses. NASA has said that it will build houses on Mars with this system, because it is extremely reliable in the future.

And now?
In 2016, according to estimates by Gartner, it will be nearly 500,000 3D printers sold worldwide. A number more than double what it regards 2015 (about 244,000). It is expected to grow to over 5 million by the year 2019. In short, there is no doubt  that it is a huge growth industry and able to change the face of our times.]]> 2017-01-11 11:53:01 UTC https://padlet.com/marta_berlese25/tymjml5k8pwc/wish/146479001
