Summary time – Express revolution of 3D PRINTING
Summary time – Express revolution of 3D PRINTING. We are in the summary period, settling accounts with our last year’s resolutions, setting new ones, reflecting on how our year 2023 unfolded. Due to our preference for surprises, we won’t share our resolutions for 2024 just yet. However, there’s a chance to find out about these updates as soon as possible. All you need to do is start following us here and on our social media – then you’ll be up to date!
Currently, we are well aware of how amazing 3D printing can be. Unprecedented constructions, fascinating projects, and an expanding range of applications…
The popularity of this technology is spreading at an incredibly rapid pace. More and more companies, like ours, are emerging, and special printers are already present in schools, introducing the youngest to this technology. We are witnessing a revolution unfolding before our eyes, so today we want to take a moment to acquaint you with the roots of this young technology.
See where it all came from!
Printed roots
3D printing sowed its first seed in 1983 when Chuck Hull invented stereolithography, the first form of 3D printing. Since then, this technology has undergone significant evolution, branching out in various directions. In the 90s, alternative methods such as FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) emerged, involving layer-by-layer deposition of melted plastic to create a desired shape. Additionally, the SLS method (Selective Laser Sintering) appeared in which an advanced laser was used to solidify the material.
In the same decade, a pioneer in stereolithography ventured into producing the first commercial 3D printers using SLA technology, marking the entry of this technology into everyday life and its popularization in more common circles.
Since then, new methods utilizing increasingly advanced equipment, filaments, and other materials have entered the market. PolyJet, Binder Jetting, CJP, EBM – these are just a few examples of methods through which individuals can work with 3D printing. However, specialists continue to work on and discover new, more modern, and efficient ways. This ongoing innovation has made 3D printing a technology of the future in the blink of an eye.
In recent years, we have witnessed various areas of life and industries increasingly embracing the benefits of three-dimensional technology.
A wide range of fields
If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram, you know that we run a series where we describe how 3D PRINTING has found its applications in various fields, and… there are more and more of them.
From construction and 3D-printed houses to medicine and BIOPRINTING, creating prosthetics, implants, or even bone fragments. It’s truly incredible how many possibilities this technology offers us.
In the field of construction, 3D printing is used for the rapid and efficient construction of houses. Printed houses can be cheaper and more environmentally friendly, making them an alternative to traditional construction methods.
In medicine, 3D printing is revolutionizing diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation processes. BIOPRINTING allows the creation of cellular and tissue structures that can be used for drug testing, creating anatomical models for surgery planning, and even organ reconstruction. In addition, 3D printing is used for producing prosthetics, orthotics, or even bone fragments.
We constantly monitor how 3D printing is opening new horizons in various fields and contributing to the development of innovative solutions. Feel free to visit our Facebook page to learn more about the latest achievements in the world of 3D printing!
Equipment tailored for innovation
The development in many fields is closely tied to technology, and it’s no different for us. The market constantly introduces state-of-the-art devices that address new needs.
From basic printers that have become a standard in elementary schools to sophisticated equipment enabling work with various materials within a single printer, biomedical devices used by doctors, food printers producing edibles, or larger printers for constructing houses with nozzles spraying cement – these examples only scratch the surface of the iceberg, which is still growing. Such innovative 3D printing equipment opens new possibilities for design and production, placing this technology at the center of transformations in various aspects of life.
Considering how young this technology is and the numerous achievements it has already accumulated, one quickly realizes that the history of 3D printing is a fascinating and somewhat surprising tale of technological development that is already changing the way we produce and design objects worldwide. Currently, 3D printing stands as one of the most innovative tools in the field of manufacturing.
Happy New Year!
On the occasion of this summary, we want to extend our wishes to you. Of course, we wish you a Happy New Year, where all resolutions come true, and new ones arise for you to pursue with a smile.
