WHAT IS 3D PRINTING Creates a physical design used from adigital image based on computersoftware Then printed by using materials such asmetal alloys, polymers or plastics 4. APPLICATIONS FOR 3D PRINTING Some applications for 3D printing are: GoogleSketchUp, 3Dtin, Blender which all allow editing andcustomisation for free 5. ADVANCEMENTS IN HEALTHCARE Although 3D Printing is fairly new when it comes tohealthcare it still has made huge impacts such asthe production and implementation of hearing aids. The hearing aid shell is specifically designed to apersons ear by using a 3D laser scanner. The shell is then fitted with the electronicequipment, and is created usually in 1 day. 6. HOW IT HELPS IN HEALTHCARE 2 The result of this makes a better end productmaking the device more comfortable only theperson, and even has the option to match skintones or other various colours Since launch 10 million hearing aids are incirculation today 7. 3D PRINTING IN ACTIONStephen received custom 3D printed designs in orderto reshape and rebuild his face after suffering amotorbike accident. 8. 3D PRINTINGThe team scanned 3D images in order to create a pinpoint guide in order to:Cut and position the bones in his faceAs well as plates to hold the bones in placeBoth the guides and the implant wereresults of 3D Printing. 9. 3D PRINTING SPORTS INDUSTRY With the world cup having just finished this summer,it was the first opportunity to show off theimplementation of 3d printing in sports. 10. 3D PRINTED EXO-SKELETON Before the world cup began a group oforganisations formed the Walk againproject A paraplegic who is unable to walk washelped to kick the first football of the worldcup using an exo-skeleton suit 11. 3D PRINTED EXO-SKELETON 12. EXO-SKELETON All this will be possible with the help of a bionicexoskeleton, custom made with 3D printed parts,and controlled via a sophisticated braincomputerinterface. The exoskeleton works by allowing an individual tocontrol the movement of metal leg braces, whichare part of an entire suit controlled by the patient. 13. HOW THIS IS DONE By Simply thinking about walking, they can do justthat. The user will have a custom helmet withsensors over specific areas of the skull, so that themachine can receive key signals for movement. The helmet is easily the most important part of theentire exoskeleton, as it is literally its brains. 14. VIDEO OF CREATION 15. ALSO IN THE SPORTS INDUSTRY Recently within the sports industry there hasbeen and increase in 3d printed products Big companies like Nike are now gettinginvolved and adding in 3d printed parts intotheir products 16. NIKE 3D PRINTING Nike have introduced 3d printing into Football,basketball and more recently American footballboots. 17. PERKS OF 3D PRINTED BOOTS The materials are lighter and more durable to aidathletes in acceleration. Helps to adapt the boot to each individuals foot, toincrease comfort The future allows for more innovate ideas allowingto explore more ideas that wasnt passable until 3dprinting. 18. OVERALL ADVANTAGES FOR NIKE Recent results indicate that Nikes profit hasincreased since 3d printing. Production costs are lower, less money and timespent Before it took $50,000-60,000 and 3 monthsproduction time Now it takes $3000-4000 and just 5 days 19. ADVANTAGES OF 3D PRINTING 41-64% less energy, than factory made goods froma survey, as a result 3D printed objects can be saidto reduce our carbon footprint. Less waste the printer uses exactly what is needed Complicated productions are now available andare simpler to construct 20. DISADVANTAGES IN 3D PRINTING Very easy to download designs, including weapons.Possible safety issue. Can be expensive in order to make bigger products Less human jobs in the production department
