Risk in 3D Printing:
As it said for every emerging technology 3D printing is also a double edge sword. It has advantages as well as the disadvantages.
Risk that are involved with 3D printing are as follows:
1) Emission of unhealthy air in the atmosphere:
The 3D printer requires melting of the plastic with heat. In this process there is the emission of air. This contains ultrafine particles. The two types of plastic currently used in 3D printing is the ABS and PLA. This are the thermoplastic. They are moldable. They can heated to melt and then give the desired shape and can be re melted too. Now, if ABS plastic is used in 3D printing it gives out 200 billion ultrafine particles per minute and if PLA plastic are used it gives out 20 million ultrafine articles. This result are based on the study performed by the MIT manufacturing program. This particles which are emitted can be harmful for human beings. Moreover, it caused more problem to the people having disease like asthma.
2) Counterfeiting :
Counterfeiting is manufacturing the fake product of the inferior quality and then selling them for a low price. The problem of piracy is even faced by the internet. There is a big network of people who does all this and the ones who do that are very smart. So it won't be a surprise if it's done with the 3D printing as well. The 3D printer is capable of manufacturing the lightweight parts of the airplane both the commercial and defense ones. This increasing the risk even further what if such parts are counterfeit. This will be a big threat. Already the US military are facing the problem of fake parts that in turns put the life of the soldier in danger.
3) Licensing of the Product:
The other challenge that will be faced by the company is lice...

...TED Talk of Bastian Schaefer he talks about some of the fantastic things that can be manufacture using the 3D printer in future. They are as follows:
1) Manufacture Rocket Parts: NASA's current project to build the largest rocket whose aim is to take humans on Mars. The parts needed for this can be manufacture using the 3D printer it actually decreases the workload if done like this. NASA also ran a test and it has passed with flying colors.
2)To prepare virtually any food : The researchers are working on to build a prototype called the "Universal food synthesizer" It will enable a person to manufacture its own food anytime hungry with use of just some powders.
3)Used in fashion: It can be widely used in the fashion industry to manufacture clothes. Since its so easy and cheap to manufacture it like this. It will completely change the way the industry works.
3D printing has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything. 3D printing was invented in the mid 1980s and was initially known as additive manufacturing. It consists of the fabrication of products through the use of printers which either employ lasers to burn materials (sintering) or place layer upon layer of material (known as stereolithography), eventually resulting in a finished item. Unlike the traditional manufacturing process, which involves milling, drilling, grinding or forging molded items to make the final product, 3D printing “forms” the product layer by layer. There are many different technological variants but almost every existing, 3D printing machine functions in a similar way: a 3D computer-aided engineering
With the massive rise in the quality, lower prices and availability 3d printers anybody anywhere in the world now has the ability to produce almost anything they like. Websites like https://www.thingiverse.com/ offer millions of models for almost anything someone needs to produce. Websites like https://www.upwork.com offer online consulting for 3d modelers that will design anything you need. Prior to the availability of 3d printers anything that was designed had to be manufactured at professional production facilities at huge costs relative to 3d printing it. 3d Printing lowers the barriers of entry into a market that was previously dominated by a few people because of the cost of prototyping.
The development of synthetic foods is a movement. There are many nutritional issues, both around the world and in this country, and synthetic foods is a viable solution to our problem. People are obese, overweight, diabetic, or malnourished because healthy food is too expensive. Synthetic foods have the ability to change the workforce, restructure our culture toward more productivity, and increase American life quality. By supporting synthetic foods, we are supporting
Food not only represents a culture, but can also show one 's personality, lifestyle, and financial status. While nourishment is an essential need for our survival, it 's value and effect on our everyday lives far surpasses its purpose. Food provides the human body with nutrients: which are the required chemicals and compounds needed by the body to grow strong and stay health. However, what if one could directly provide the body with the required chemicals without having to experience the bother of devouring the sustenance itself? That is where Rhinehart, an electrical engineer from Georgia Tech, introduces his Soylent Formula. Soylent replaces the intake of the required chemicals and compounds needed by the body, normally obtained by consuming food, with a faster and
Science-fiction novels have imagined thousands societal advancements, with many of which taking form in reality. A recent addition to the ranks of the helicopter and submarine is a substitute for food called Soylent. Soylent is a drink crafted from the base nutrients we require from food, theoretically meaning that someone who drinks Soylent does not need regular food. Creator Rob Rhinehart has stated that he wishes for Soylent to replace most meals, causing increased efficiency for all people, while reforming the food industry. This does not mean Soylent would ever replace meals as a cultural centerpoint, but that it may replace meals that serve no social or cultural purpose.
This will even be further refined and we will simply print out replacement parts as needed using a modified 3-d printer similar to what we have today. Whether printed or grown this advancement will have the potential to extended human life well beyond what we currently think the limits are. The pros for this advancement would be simply that what we consider life altering diseases or accidents would simply be a temporary condition until replacement parts are either printed or grown and then used to replace the defective areas. This has a clear potential to end several common modern conditions and allow people a normal life beyond what we can manage today. Cons to this advancement are numerous but the most apparent is when we combine genetic manipulation and this technology we can produce genetically superior body parts. Thus, the human condition we have at birth will be thrown out and replaced with something beyond our imagination. This also has a con in that as with genetic manipulation towards a superior human if someone had an ulterior motive they could in fact insert a type of gene marker that if activated could potentially kill the recipient or be used to control a person through either overt blackmail or covert control. AS is the case with all advancements we have looked at thus far we would need to manage this one and ensure the safety of anything being used to replace a body part is not modified to the detriment of the person receiving the replacement
Over the years food has changed from more natural occurring products to quick and easily accessible ones. I for one blame the companies who accept and encourage this. From the previous essay, it also provides a series of questions for which we should be analyzing our food: “How fresh is it? How far was it transported? How pure or clean is it?” (Berry). Simply, we need to be more aware about our food. Food used to be only grown. There was no way
Also it is used in many other areas such as toaster, microwave oven, handwriting recognation, helicopter flight control system, etc. (Ural, 2006). Application areas are getting more more by the time.
Especially, the procedure of product oil spray and tempo print are contained high lead content which endangers the production operators at first since the smell of lead permeated into the air and they are absorbing that inside the human body, that damages lung function human day by day. Besides, those residues after spray painting is going to infiltrate river near the factory, we could imagine those water pollution with fused color stay in the river for long term and keep contaminating environment. As well as, increasing carbon emission is making air pollution and eroding blue sky relentlessly. At the end, those infringing toys are placed on the shelf and hazardous substance of product painting contacts with children skin and absorbing the smell inside body potentially. That really endangers kids’ health and their parents may complaint real LEGO which really affects brand image since some infringing toys used the LEGO trademark for commercial purpose. LEGO logo mean the quality and reputation guarantee for the consumers, that is uncountable value for LEGO and
The idea behind this scene in the movie is not too far-fetched and it features some technologies that are very similar to what is being developed today. The first thing the movie gets right about bio-printing is the fact that each body system is printed using a different tool. Today there are three main techniques used in bio-printing (ink-jet printing, laser printing, and extrusive printing) and each one has different strengths and weaknesses. Ink-jet based bio-printing uses “a “bio-ink,” made of cells and bio-materials, to print living cells in the form of droplets (each contains 10,000–30,000 cells) by using a non-contact

3D Printing: The weapon to save or kill? People nowadays might get the impression that the 3D printing technology is a relatively new concept in our daily lives. However, 3D printing technology has been invented and utilized in many fields such as creating human organs in healthcare, building architectural models in engineering, and even forming components that can be used in aeronautic fields. Since Charles W. Hull invented the 3D printing technology in the 1980s, scientists, engineers, and even normal people were and still are trying to discover more possibilities of the usages and changes in this technology. Same as every invention of the new technology, with its undeniable beneficial effects, 3D printing also faces lots of limitations on the printing material, financial costs, market standardization, and more crucially the possible abuse of it.
The Company has invested its big portion on 3D printing equipment’s. Since technology has a limited life span, Whales’ need to upgrade its innovation very frequently.
Hunger is a huge challenge that must be overcome. That is why our company, Health Productions, along with renowned scientists have been working to find a sustainable solution. After several months of work, we finally came up with “The Giver”. The Giver is a machine that produces the four ultimate pills that will enable the human body to function perfectly by being ingested only once a month.
The field of bioprinting, using 3D printing technology for producing live cells with extreme accuracy, could be the answer to many of the problems we as humans face in the medical field. It could be the end to organ waiting lists and an alternative for organ transplants. In 3D printing technology lies the potential to replace the testing of new drugs on animals. However, the idea of applying 3 dimensional printing to the health industry is still quite new and yet to have a major impact. Manufacturing working 3D organs remains an enormous challenge, but in theory could solve major issues present today.
