3-D PrintingCameron Coutermarsh

How it works

• Computer aided design (CAD)• Resin method• Set in thin layers

• Powder method• Set by a binding substance and powder• Allows for many materials

Printable Materials

List of Printable Materials

Gold

Silver

Aluminum

Colored plastics

Glass-like substance

Ceramics

Stainless steel

Sandstone

Rubber

Architecture

• Used to create models• Faster than working

by hand• Commercial printers

are expensive

Science

• Molecular models• Recreating fossils• Material similar to

bone

Culinary Arts

• 3-D chocolate printer• Creates custom candy• Same procedure as

other 3-D printing

Medical

• Use of biological materials• Can reproduce skin and

blood vessels

New Industry

• Online stores now offer service of printing• Offer many materials• Stores also sell 3-D printers made for personal use

• Kraftwurx.com• Shapeways.com

Future

• Technology will become more common• Less expensive

• Able to print more objects• Addition of new materials• Will be the new standard for building small models
