Download or read book Fabricated written by Hod Lipson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fabricated tells the story of 3D printers, humble manufacturing machines that are bursting out of the factory and into schools, kitchens, hospitals, even onto the fashion catwalk. Fabricated describes our emerging world of printable products, where people design and 3D print their own creations as easily as they edit an online document. A 3D printer transforms digital information into a physical object by carrying out instructions from an electronic design file, or 'blueprint.' Guided by a design file, a 3D printer lays down layer after layer of a raw material to 'print' out an object. That's not the whole story, however. The magic happens when you plug a 3D printer into today’s mind-boggling digital technologies. Add to that the Internet, tiny, low cost electronic circuitry, radical advances in materials science and biotech and voila! The result is an explosion of technological and social innovation. Fabricated takes the reader onto a rich and fulfilling journey that explores how 3D printing is poised to impact nearly every part of our lives. Aimed at people who enjoy books on business strategy, popular science and novel technology, Fabricated will provide readers with practical and imaginative insights to the question 'how will this technology change my life?' Based on hundreds of hours of research and dozens of interviews with experts from a broad range of industries, Fabricated offers readers an informative, engaging and fast-paced introduction to 3D printing now and in the future.
Download or read book 3D Printing written by Laura Bechthold and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 1880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is currently one of the most discussed emerging technologies coming to market with a potentially disruptive power. The terms additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D printing describe production processes in which a solid 3D structure is produced layer by layer by the deposition of suitable materials via an additive manufacturing machine. After around 30 years in the making, 3D printing is about to move from being an industrial rapid prototyping technique to becoming a mainstream manufacturing procedure used by industry and consumers alike. However, the question in which area and to which extent this emerging technology will disrupt state of the art practices is far from trivial. The goal of this report on behalf of the Expert Commission of Research and Innovation is threefold: First, to sketch the emerging 3D printing landscape, explore key trends and the technology's potential. Second, to shed light on 3D printing market dynamics and framework conditions both in Germany and in other countries. Third, to translate the findings into recommendations that can serve as a basis for the Expert Commission's policy report.

This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Economics - Innovation economics, grade: 1.5, EBS European Business School gGmbH (Institute for Innovation and Transformation), language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of fabbing on various industries to reveal how these industries could potentially be transformed in the next 15 years. First, the subsequent chapters two and three cover the theoretical fundamentals of this paper. In doing so, chapter two addresses additive manufacturing, which focuses on its definition and procedure as well as fabbing, which is covered to the most detailed extent as it is the additive manufacturing's main field of application. As additive manufacturing is often classified a disruptive technology, chapter three discusses Christensen's theory as well as recommendations on how to deal with disruptive innovations. Based on these fundamentals, chapter four starts with the design of a scorecard, which matches various industries with a score from one to five to each of the most relevant factors that have to be considered when evaluating the impact of fabbing on the respective industries. Afterwards, the three industries with the highest overall score are selected for further investigation. This investigation addresses the impact of fabbing on that particular industry and will be based on theknowledge, valuation and expectations of experts. Furthermore, an exemplary case study of one enterprise from each industry is conducted to showcase actual changes within a company. The paper then concludes with a summary and an outlook on necessary further research.
Book Synopsis 3D Printing with Biomaterials by : A.J.M. van Wijk
Download or read book 3D Printing with Biomaterials written by A.J.M. van Wijk and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing or 3D printing, manufacturing a product layer by layer, offers large design freedom and faster product development cycles, as well as low startup cost of production, on-demand production and local production. In principle, any product could be made by additive manufacturing. Even food and living organic cells can be printed. We can create, design and manufacture what we want at the location we want. 3D printing will create a revolution in manufacturing, a real paradigm change. 3D printing holds the promise to manufacture with less waste and energy. We can print metals, ceramics, sand, synthetic materials such as plastics, food or living cells. However, the production of plastics is nowadays based on fossil fuels. And that’s where we witness a paradigm change too. The production of these synthetic materials can be based also on biomaterials with biomass as feedstock. A wealth of new and innovative products are emerging when we combine these two paradigm changes: 3D printing and biomaterials. Moreover, the combination of 3D printing with biomaterials holds the promise to realize a truly sustainable and circular economy.

Book Synopsis Modeling and Simulation of Functionalized Materials for Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing: Continuous and Discrete Media by : Tarek I. Zohdi
Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Functionalized Materials for Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing: Continuous and Discrete Media written by Tarek I. Zohdi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last decade, several industrialized countries have stressed the importance of advanced manufacturing to their economies. Many of these plans have highlighted the development of additive manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing which, as of 2018, are still in their infancy. The objective is to develop superior products, produced at lower overall operational costs. For these goals to be realized, a deep understanding of the essential ingredients comprising the materials involved in additive manufacturing is needed. The combination of rigorous material modeling theories, coupled with the dramatic increase of computational power can potentially play a significant role in the analysis, control, and design of many emerging additive manufacturing processes. Specialized materials and the precise design of their properties are key factors in the processes. Specifically, particle-functionalized materials play a central role in this field, in three main regimes: (1) to enhance overall filament-based material properties, by embedding particles within a binder, which is then passed through a heating element and the deposited onto a surface, (2) to “functionalize” inks by adding particles to freely flowing solvents forming a mixture, which is then deposited onto a surface and (3) to directly deposit particles, as dry powders, onto surfaces and then to heat them with a laser, e-beam or other external source, in order to fuse them into place. The goal of these processes is primarily to build surface structures which are extremely difficult to construct using classical manufacturing methods. The objective of this monograph is introduce the readers to basic techniques which can allow them to rapidly develop and analyze particulate-based materials needed in such additive manufacturing processes. This monograph is broken into two main parts: “Continuum Method” (CM) approaches and “Discrete Element Method” (DEM) approaches. The materials associated with methods (1) and (2) are closely related types of continua (particles embedded in a continuous binder) and are treated using continuum approaches. The materials in method (3), which are of a discrete particulate character, are analyzed using discrete element methods.
Book Synopsis From Additive Manufacturing to 3D/4D Printing 2 by : Jean-Claude André
Download or read book From Additive Manufacturing to 3D/4D Printing 2 written by Jean-Claude André and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing, which was first invented in France and then applied in the United States, is now 33 years old and represents a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with annual growth of between 20 and 30%. Today, additive manufacturing is experiencing a great amount of innovation in its processes, software, engineering and materials used. Its strength as a process has more recently allowed for the exploration of new niches, ranging from applications at nanometer and decameter scales, to others in mechanics and health. As a result, the limitations of the process have also begun to emerge, which include the quality of the tools, their cost of manufacture, the multi-material aspects, functionalities and surface conditions. Volume 2 of this series presents the current techniques, improvements and limits of additive manufacturing, providing an up-to-date review of this process.
Book Synopsis A Study on 3D Printing and Its Effects on the Future of Transportation by : Omar Jumaah
Download or read book A Study on 3D Printing and Its Effects on the Future of Transportation written by Omar Jumaah and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, significant progress has been made in additive manufacturing (AM) for numerous applications in various industrial segments. International Data Corporation (IDC) forecasts the global market for 3D printing technology to exceed $14 billion in 2019. It is expected to double in the next five years. 3D printing technology can fabricate complex geometries with no part-specific tooling and much less waste material,and can produce various customized products at lower cost. An MIT study indicates that the adoption of 3D printing can reduce supply chain costs by 50% to 90%, this being particularly true for slow-moving and custom products (Bhasin and Bodla 2014). Bulk of the savings for traditional manufacturers would come from the reduction of transportation activity and worldwide goods transfers. A possible decline in the air cargo and the ocean container businesses because of 3D printing is 41% and 37% respectively. Also, 25% of the trucking freight business is exposed to decline. 3D printing technology brings the production closer to the consumer, so production and distribution of products could begin to be deglobalized. Therefore, 3D printing technology is likely a disruptive innovation that will affect the logistics industry and the global supply chain. Moreover, products can be fabricated on demand without the need to build up inventories or warehouse new products and spare parts. This report presents an overview of the potential impact of 3D printing technology and its future on the transportation sectors related to logistics, supply chains, and freight. It is noteworthy that over 30% of imported goods in the US are potentially suitable for manufacture by 3D printing technology, so there is a high probability that 3D printing will create new high-tech jobs, and produce a shift in the current labor market. However, there is significant economic benefit when AM technologies are integrated with traditional manufacturing shops. This report does not speculate on that shift, but summarizes existing research to better understand how 3D printing could affect the current market of $2.4 trillion in goods imported into the US.
