The Wonder of 3D Printing

Kaizen

The first industrial revolution “began in Britain in the late 18th century, with the mechanisation of the textile industry.

First Industrial Revolution

The “second industrial revolution came in the early 20th century, when Henry Ford mastered the moving assembly line and ushered in the age of mass production.” The third revolution “is under way” and that consists of manufacturing “going digital.”

Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black.Remark about the Model T in 1909, published in his autobiography My Life and Work (1922) Chapter IV, p. 71; this has often become presented in paraphrased forms such as: "You can have any color as long as it's black."

“Any Customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black”

Henry Ford’s Remark on the Model T, 1909

Next Industrial Revolution

The third revolution “is under way” and that consists of manufacturing “going digital.”

What is 3D Printing?

• is a form of Additive Manufacturing– Process of joining materials to make an object from 3D model Data; layer-by-layer process

What is 3D Printing?

• Digital Fabrication- it takes a model

└a digital design └turn into real, physical Object

Type of Additive Manufacturing

•SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)•FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)•SLA (Sterolithography)•DLP (Digital Light Processing)

How 3D Printing Can Change the World?

How 3D Printing Can Change the world?• Medical procedures• Advances in research• Product prototyping• Historic Preservation• Architectural Engineering

Construction• Advanced Manufacturing• Food Industries• Automotive • Accessories

• Adopted 3D printing as a way to increase innovation• Reduce costs and speed up the process.• 3D models of buildings can be easily created and edited as plans

develop – something that used to take a significant amount of time to make.

• Airbus would like to make a 3D printer that is large enough to make planes from the ground up – a hangar-size printer as large as 80m x 80m.

• Made In Space is a US company experimenting with zero-gravity 3D printing. The process could potentially allow astronauts to print objects as required in space, saving valuable weight at launch.

• NASA has been looking at 3D printing for some time now, and considering the technology for long missions where astronauts could create their own equipment during the trip.

Advanced Manufacturing

Medical Procedures• Custom hearing aids and braces.• Body parts, including ears, hips and even

organs, in exact proportions to fit the patient. • In February 2012, surgeons successfully

implanted an entire titanium jaw, made with 3D printing, in an elderly woman.
