3D Printing: How it works



3d printing technology is already changing the way of producing objects from tool, toys to clothing. 3d printing is part of process called ‘Additive Manufacturing’ where object is created by adding material layer by layer. Additive manufacturing allows manufacturers to design complex parts for machines, airplanes and cars at fraction of cost and standard means like folding, moulding and sculpting.

Now smaller consumer friendly 3-d printers are bringing additive manufacturing to homes and businesses. The first step in 3D printing is to create a blue print of the object you want to print. One can use modelling software like blender to create your design or you can visit websites like ‘Thingiverse’ or ‘Shapeways’ to find objects that are already 3-d modelled by other users.

Once the design is finished it is to time to send it to printer. Some printers like MakerBot Replicator 2 have renewable bioplastics in the back of the device almost like a string. When the printer receives the data it starts printing. The 3-d object is created by layering where printer adds one layer of the object at the time until we have fully formed structure.

The most common material used in 3-d printing is plastic, but the use of other materials allowed for the creation of some pretty amazing products beyond simple tools and toys. 3-d printing food is becoming very popular and Additive Manufacturing have allowed for the creation of some pretty interesting things.

In medical world, doctors are testing biomaterials for a generative medicines. By using a patient’s cell doctors can 3-d print small body parts like ears and noses. Some surgens have also tested 3-d printed organs for transplants.

Recently, giant 3-d printers in China printed 10 houses in just 1 day and at a cost of less than $5000 per house. Therefore future is going to be different as 3-d printing will be reducing effort and time.

This is something which is more attractive and breathtaking to be given as a gift, the Explosion Box. As the name explains, it explodes with a lot of things in it on opening. It includes various items in it which adds to its beauty. If you are a crafts person, then you are going to love this. Grab your scissors and papers and try your hands on this. Be ready with these: - a pair of scissors - colored sheet of paper Follow these steps: 1. Take a sheet of paper of size 9cm X 9cm as shown in figure i. 2. Now fold inward at gap of 3cm in both directions horizontally and vertically as shown in figure ii. 3. Make diagnal folds outward as shown in figure iii and keep this aside. 4. Now take another sheet of paper of dimensions 8cm X 8cm and repeat step 2. 5. Cut along the edges marked in yellow in figure iv. 6. After cutting, place the pink portion marked in figure v over the yellow portion and paste making a pocket and figure will appear like figure vi. 7. Take one more sheet

Difference between Micro LED and OLED| Which one is better?

 When it comes to high-end display technologies, two names that come up frequently are OLED and Micro LED. Both technologies have their pros and cons, and they are often pitted against each other as rivals. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at OLED and Micro LED, their differences, and their advantages and disadvantages. OLED stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode, while Micro LED stands for Micro Light-Emitting Diode. While both technologies use LEDs to create the images on the screen, they do so in different ways. OLED displays use organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is passed through them. Each pixel in an OLED display is made up of three subpixels, one for each primary color (red, green, and blue). When the pixels are turned on, they emit light, creating the image on the screen. One of the main advantages of OLED displays is that they can produce deep blacks, as each pixel can be turned off individually, resulting in no light emission. On the oth
