Custom 3d Printing Service And The Future

By Jennifer Bell


While technology has advanced a great deal over the last few decades, one of the newest areas in which these advances have taken place is in the area of printing. For example, a custom 3d printing service can now print a number of objects. While this is the case, there is some controversy when it comes to printing guns and other weapons.

In most cases, 3d printing uses one of a number of processes in which materials are shaped into a number of creative and unique 3d objects. Since having been first discovered the 1980s, the process has grown. Most recently, design engineers and others have discovered the ability to create complex shapes which are geometrical.

When it comes to the field of 3d printing, the sky is often the limit on what an individual can build or create. Although, while fused deposition modeling has been the primary element, metal powder bed fusion is now gaining prominence when printing metal objects. Whereas, research continues as to how many different materials can be used with this new printing technology.

It is hoped that at some point in the future, developers will have the ability to build buildings and homes. For, while some tiny homes have been printed, there is no proof as to how these structures will hold up in storms, hurricanes and or earthquakes. As a result, there is still a great deal more research necessary before homes, buildings and other structures can be declared safe for inhabitants on an ongoing basis.

One great feature is that product developers can now print 3d marketing and packaging products. For, there are a number of products under development in which there is no existing packaging available which will provide the storage necessary. For example, an individual might need a multi-compartment dispenser with a specific number of slots. While there are no current packaging models with the number of slots necessary to dispense the product, a 3d printer could provide a great resolution for this developer.

Whether created by a service, individual or company, some amazing products have been created with this technology. Some of these items include prototypes of major construction projects and vehicles, shelters, housing, guns and other weaponry. In most cases, developers use an existing design from which to create these and other objects.

When it comes to the controversy over guns and other weaponry, this is a discussion which will be going on for quite some time. For, while there may be benefits to the military having such technology, individuals can often run the risk of harming others or oneself. As a result, there are a number places in the United States which have now banned the 3d printing and production of guns and other weapons.

While there have been advances in all areas of technology, it almost seems as though 3d print technology has been moving at lightning speed. For, it was not that long ago 3d print outs were only used as a model for a number of different projects. Since that time, the technology has made major advancements in printing capability and most likely will continue to do so in the future.
