1, clothing
3D printing is gradually applied to the field of clothing, fashion designers will also use 3D printed bikini swimsuit, shoes and dresses for fashion design ideas. Nike utilized 3D printing in the molding and production of the Vapor Laser, which was designed for U.S. players in 2012, and similarly, New Balance uses 3D technology for the private custom production of athlete-specific running shoes.
Three-dimensional printing research and development companies are working on marketable eyewear with popular styles, complete with customized products (except for lenses). But with the development of rapid mold making, customization of lenses is becoming possible.
2. Cars
Early in 2014, Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg unveiled its new car, the One:1, which uses a number of 3-D-printed parts. Among the cars produced by Koenigsegg, the One:1 boasts 3D-printed parts inside the stylus, air ducts, titanium exhaust parts, and a full turbocharger assembly line.
3. Architecture
Until recent years, architectural models were built by hand and often took a long time. As a result, architects were often forced to show drawings of their projects to their clients.
In order to get these scale models to their clients in a very short period of time, architects and construction companies often relied on 3-D printing. Using 3-D printing technology, these companies can reduce production time by 50 to 80 percent and make scale models that are 60 percent lighter and stronger than machined parts. In this way, designs and models are limited only by human imagination.
4, electric cars and generators
The magnetic cores of electric motors (cars and generators) require special layers of stacked thin electric iron sheets machined ahead of time, with sheets isolated from each other to minimize core iron loss. Some 3-D printing requires that the properties of the core material used (e.g., material density, amorphousness, millicrystalline atomic structure, material separability, etc.) remain unchanged during the production process.
This type of printing requirement may only be possible using hybrid 3D printing techniques that do not change the core material properties, such as sintering, fusion, deposition, etc.
5, medical
Three-dimensional printing has already been used in medical applications such as the production of transplant organs and instruments. Currently successful cases are a British patient transplanted titanium pelvis, a Belgian patient transplanted titanium jaw and a U.S. baby transplanted plastic tracheal splint hearing aid and dentistry in the future is expected to become the largest use of three-dimensional printing technology.
Principle
Ordinary printers used in daily life can print computer-designed flat items, and the so-called 3D printers and ordinary printers work on basically the same principle, only the print material is a little different, ordinary printers are printed materials such as ink and paper;
And 3D printers are equipped with metal, ceramics, plastics, sand, and other different
The 3D printer is equipped with metal, ceramics, plastics, sand and other different "print materials", is the actual raw materials, the printer connected to the computer, through the computer control can be "print materials" layer by layer stacked up, and ultimately the blueprints on the computer into a physical object.
In layman's terms, a 3D printer is a device that can "print" real 3D objects, such as printing a robot, printing a toy car, printing various models, and even food.
The reason why it is commonly referred to as a "printer" is that it is based on the technical principles of ordinary printers, as the process of layering is very similar to inkjet printing. This printing technology is called 3D stereoscopic printing technology.
There are many different technologies for 3D printing. They differ in the way the materials available and are built in different layers to create parts. Some of the common materials used for 3D printing are nylon fiberglass, durable nylon materials, gypsum materials, aluminum materials, titanium alloys, stainless steel, silver plating, gold plating, and rubber-like materials.
