Cheap Products
Widespread adaptation and application of 3D printing will in the near future reduce the prices of products substantially, by eliminating the need to ship items thus the need to pay for shipping charges. Consumers will only be purchasing blueprints then printing the products at home. This will make products extremely cheap especially those bought overseas. Home-crafting Industrialized Objects
3D printing is basically transforming our homes to small factories where we can fabricate practically anything we want. With a 3D printer, one can fabricate objects that were previously made at the industry level such as violins, guitars, rings, jewellery, toy cars and even a bicycle. Micro and Nano Structures
The Photonic Professional GT is a 3D printer that can create objects of widths as small as a human hair. This 3D printer has extended the applications of 3D printing into fabrication of micro and nano structures. Applications in the Medical Field
One of the greatest benefits of 3D printing has been experienced through its facilitation of organ transplants in the medical field. Scientists now Use 3D Printing to Create Artificial Organs that can be used in transplants to help needy patients. For instance, deformed babies who are born without an ear(s) can now be given artificial ears made through 3D printing. The technology has proven to be a great medical solution to previous organ transplant challenges. Advanced 3D Prototyping
Before 3D printing had its foothold in the creation of prototypes, it would take normal prototyping procedures a few days to create a single complete prototype. Additive manufacturing however takes only a few hours, substantially increasing the number of prototypes that can be created a day. This has sped up industrialization processes to a great extent because it is now quite easy to Create a Prototype, make modifications and then produce the final product. Essentially, the technology has made it easy to convert an idea into the actual product.

Here at 3Ders, we love hearing about the different and innovative ways that people are reusing, recycling, and up-cycling waste that would normally just end up in a landfill. That’s why we’re happy to be kicking off our weekend with a story coming out of Tasmania, where a teacher has found a way to transform old bits of plastic marine rope into 3D printing filament.

3D printed anatomical models can now be found in many hospitals all over the world, specifically made to prepare surgeons for very unusual and highly complex surgeries. Among the most extreme cases we’ve seen so far is this 3D printed heart model that helped save the life of a five-day-old Russian baby born with a congenital heart defect. While these type of projects are usually one-off and rare, many hospitals are increasingly systemizing the production of 3D printed surgical models. The Elisabeth-TweeSteden Hospital in Tilburg, the Netherlands, has just taken a 3D printer in operation for that very purpose.

When you think of the combination of 3D printers and hospitals, the first thing that comes to mind are 3D printed implants and even 3D printed organs, made a patient’s own stem cells. While those applications are certainly being developed, cardiovascular surgeons from the Maastricht University Hospital have just reminded the world that some existing invasive surgeries can also yield better results through 3D printing. They have developed an educational simulator that includes custom 3D printed heart valves on which surgeons-in-training can practice these complex surgeries and give them the confidence to opt for this challenging procedure.

Cancer seems to become more and more prevalent in the modern world, and few people have not lost a loved one or family member to the disease. Fortunately medical researchers are fighting back hard, and even 3D printing technology has a role to play. For medical startup Miroculus has been working on a very precise 3D printed blood test device called the Miriam, which can detect early stage cancer using nothing more than a small blood sample. And as cancer is best fought as early as possible, this kind of accessible diagnostics tool could become a real life saver.

3D printing and space, it seems like a natural combination. Space organizations from all across the world are already seeing zero-gravity 3D printing as a flexible solution for keeping aerospace transportation costs as low as possible. After all, sending a few basic 3D printable supplies into space is far less costly than sending each and every necessary item up. But just reaching space costs $10,000 per pound, so the Mission to Mars will likely be astoundingly expensive. But a group of Danish students might have a 3D printing solution called CosmoCrops.

3D Systems is today unveiling a new strategy, new solutions, new partnerships, and an updated management team in order to help its additive manufacturing customers transition from prototyping to production. The announcements will be made by President and CEO Vyomesh Joshi at IMTS 2016.

3D Systems President and CEO Vyomesh Joshi
Most industry experts admit that the consumer 3D printer market has failed to live up to the hype once attributed to it, with the 2014 vision of a 3D printer in every household seeming a lot closer then than it does today. But while some big 3D printing companies are now shying away from the consumer market—3D Systems abandoned its Cube 3D printer at the tail-end of 2015—many of those companies are now redoubling their efforts to crack the industrial market.

More than one-third of children don’t get their recommended 60 minutes of vigorous daily exercise. That is contributing to an epidemic of childhood obesity according to the World Health Organization that could put a real strain on their health later in life.
Scientists at the Applied Sports, Technology, Exercise and Medicine (STEM) Research Center at Swansea University believe that 3D printing could provide the solution.
Simple models that illustrate a child’s levels of activity, heart rate and the time they spend running around could drive them towards a healthier, happier future. That’s the theory in any case. Television, video games and the internet are largely to blame for an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, with children spending up to eight hours a week sat in front of the screen.
