3D Printing Technology

Consumer-grade in-home printers operate as either fused deposition

modelling (FDM) or stereolithography (SLA).

Enterprise applications commonly make use of selective laser sintering (SLS).

Materials

Consumer printers - Plastics, metals, ceramics, nylon, thermoplastics, polyjet

photopolymers

Industrial printers - Stainless steel, gold, silver, sterling silver, brass, bronze,

titanium, Gypsum (sandstone), and graphene.

Recent innovations are bringing medicine and food into the 3D printing

equation, eventually this will transfer into the consumer market.

Technological problems

Materials are the weakest component of 3D printing

3D printers can work with more than 100 different materials, although this many

sounds like an extensive list, this pales in comparison to the thousands used in

traditional manufacturing process. (Forest)

Technological problems

Printheads / Nozzles

Printers must have multiple print nozzles for different materials being printed at

the same time, this is not standard on most consumer printers at this time. The

technology will be available within the next 5 years.

Technological problems

Software issues

Software programs result in the majority of that complexity used to create 3D

printable designs.

Software is known as the main bottleneck for 3D printing technology because,

even when the printers are capable, poor software inhibits the ability to produce

what 3D printing technology enables.

Technological problems

Printing Duration

Printing can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on the

design and the complexity. We are working towards solutions that allow us to

print in high resolutions and improved speeds.

What is Easy 3D

3D printing software on a consumer level

Enabling the average person to use our software without any formal training.

During installation, the program asks for user skill level then self-adjusts.

At Easy 3D we focus on the software, creating a platform that allows people to

learn the more they use our products.

App Store

Easy 3D’s Apps store will contain a range of simple pre-made models, tutorials,

products, all the way to advanced user tools for calculating material strengths,

configuring printing properties, and calculating estimated printing times.

Easy 3D will charge the developers 25% of their selling fee.

Seamless Integration

Our product allows you to work consistently through from start to finish:

Easy 3D combines a 3D modeling program, STL conversion & manipulation,

and direct print-rendered preview into one program that allows the consumer to

easily build, process, and print their projects with a real-time preview in order to

save print materials.

Maintainability

3D printers are still an emerging market that has yet to fully define itself

Thus-far, the home market has been more out of novelty’s sake than function’s

Maintainability is one of the hardest factors to gage, as trends may not mean lasting success in such a new and ever-changing environment

Supportability

24/7 support staff helping troubleshoot issues with the consumer and within the apps

The venture is based entirely off of user friendly support

Revenue Management

Billing is the next big step for our new company

Since our app store is largely digital, so payments will be similar

We must be able to accept bitcoin and paypal at the ery least

Expenses

Number of 3D PrintersGarner Inc. expects 3D printer shipments to at least double every year between 2015 and 2018. If this trend continues all the way until 2020 we can estimate the number of 3D printers in the world to be around 10,850,000.
