Dear 3DP360,
I am a high school student in Wilmington, NC. I am looking for a 3D printer that I can use as a part of my senior project for school. Before graduating from high school, I must create a large project about a topic that I am interested in. My project is about 3D printing technology and it's use in the modern world. A main part of the project is community outreach, which I will achieve by teaching Elementary and Middle school students about 3D printing technology and demonstrate how 3D printing works. Elementary and Middle school lessons will include a presentation about 3D printing technology, it's use in everyday business, it's development, future uses, and also a demonstration of the printer that hundreds students can watch. Through my project kids will be able to learn about 3D printing technology and have fun doing it.

I have selected this printer because of its high print quality, large build volume, easy set up, and relatively low cost. The XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 would be perfect for educational demonstrations as part of my senior project.
A new XYZprinting Da Vinci 1.0 costs between $450 and $500, but with my limited budget I am not able to spend over $350. (this includes the cost of a printer and multiple roles of filament) I would like to purchase a printer for around $250 to stay within my budget. I occasionally find an XYZ da Vinci 1.0 for sale at around $200 to $300, but when I call the person selling it, they have already sold the printer.
I am familiar with the XYZ Da Vinci machines and it would be the ideal machine for my project. I am also open to other 3D printer recommendations If you know of something that would be better. I have used other 3d printers through other projects that I have done. This includes makerbot, prusa i3v, cube, and Rigidbot. I have never owned my own 3D printer, but I am familiar with the technology and need one for my senior
process of how they use 3D printing using their programs. After the visitation, I went home and researched on how to turn my Fusion 360 creation into a physical model. On the Autodesk Forums, I learned that I can export my file to a DWG gand open it in the DWG program. From there, I can export it into an STL file. From there I can upload it to a given 3D printing company. I will most likely not print my parts at the school because that requires me to be there and if I pay a company I can make the most of my time and spend that on another aspect of the senior project. Through this experience, I have learned how 3D printing is becoming the future of our technology. Today it is used to prototyping, art, and it can even create
Last summer, I started an internship with Shriners Hospital for Children in their Motion Analysis Lab. During my internship there, I realized that many children could not afford to wait the three months necessary for standard ankle braces. In addition, many poorer families struggle to afford such expensive devices. My goal for this invention is to develop a feasible and medically accepted system in which a 3D scan of the patient’s foot will be manipulated on the computer to create a custom, 3D-printed brace. This innovative new process, combining the new technologies of 3D scanning and 3D printing, will result in an orthotic that can be produced quickly and inexpensively.
The 3D printing industry had a little controversy. This controversy revolves around a small start up in the Allentown, PA area called “Just3DPrint”. Company is founded by four college students who had a dream, “offer 3d printing services”. The controversy does not revolve around their printing service, but it involves two powerhouses, Thingiverse; a website that allows 3d modelers to share their creations for “free” in a non-commercial manner and Ebay, the largest auction website in the world.
The first line “His prayer was a masterpiece” spoke to me. It hinted at the reverend’s vast knowledge of the perils of the city when compared to the stranger who came in. It foreshadowed not just the reverend’s attempt to bless everyone in the room, but also his attempt to educate those who are unaware of all the dangers in Harlem. “It besought of God protection for His people in a strange and wicked land” this line gave a look at the true nature of Harlem at the time. It was a dark place that sought to take the life of those who were not prepared to survive in that jungle.
Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello are the founder of research in 3D printing, they named their research project as Emerging Objects. They develop a new product where it is able to do 3D printing from many resources. The traditional 3D printing can only be used to create a prototype where the producers only produce it for samples. The goal of both founder of this project is to make a 3D printer where it is not only a sample but we can also use it immediately. In my opinion, we can use this technology to help our company saved money and be more sustainable for the environment
As 3D printing transitions from commercial manufacturing use to personal private use individuals will have the ability to print any design. Products can range from a pair of shoes to complicated engineering designs, life-saving devices, prosthetic limbs and weapons that pass airport security. In the future we will likely see printable medications and
The technology of 3 dimensional printing has been growing rapidly. So much that now with less than $1000 anyone could buy their own 3D printer kit and build one themselves.(Hacking & Maker Tutorial) Granted, the process of putting it all together will take a bit of time. It’s not easy, but anyone that’s good with their hands will enjoy piecing it together. Why someone would need a 3D printer in their house is still somewhat baffling, but ton’s of interesting things could be made for everyone in the family.
Susan and Heidi are both woman who were affected by the Women’s Movement and the Sexual Revolution of the 60’s and 70’s. When we first meet them, Susan appears to be the more stereotypical teenaged girl. Heidi appears to be more of the liberal feminist. Both women attend college and have what appears to be successful professional lives. The difference is the girls is how the value themselves.
“Although 3-D printers are not yet a standard part of home-computing equipment, the latest generation of devices, such as Cube® by 3D Systems, the Cubex™ or Makerbot’s Replicator™2X - which retail for between one and three thousand US dollars - are bringing the possibility of home manufacturing one step closer to reality” (Jewell). Now the biggest difference between traditional manufacturing and 3D printing will be the emergence of mass customization. Goods will be, “infinitely more customized, because altering them won’t require retooling, only tweaking the instructions in the software. Creativity in meeting individuals’ needs will come to the fore, just as quality control did in the age of rolling out sameness” (D'Aveni). When you have a product that is printed out individually from software with your own customization, then there would be no reason in buying a product that will look like something another person can own because of its ordinary accessibility. Creating physical 3D models in a fast, easy and affordable way has great potential, especially when you can do it in the comfort of your home.
Using a 3D printer as a motivator for students to be creative can be a benefit to any currirulum. As Van Epps, Huston, Sherrill, Alvar, and Bowen (2015) state “3D printing not only promotes learning but inspires creativity and fun”. One of the major goals
There are many Amazon 3D printers that you can be bought by companies and people, and they can make a difference as well. Anything that you can imagine can be 3D printed. This story of Derby was truly inspirational, but 3D printing can just be about fun as well. 3D printing will cater to the people who have a huge imagination. New toys for kids can be made and even furniture could be created. This can all be done by finding and purchasing Amazon 3D printers.
In my freshmen year of college, I first got exposed to 3D printing and computer aided design in my intro to engineering design class, ENES 100. From this point on I knew I wanted to be involved with this technology. Given my work experience I am most interested in the prototyping aspect of 3D printing. The companies that I would most like to work for are DeWalt or Toro.
Nowadays, the equipments that make human life more benefit and useful, or in easier way called machine is very important to human life. By using the machine, human life will faster and less in using manpower. For copy, archive and distributing complex renderings in the GIS maps, as well as CAD, MCAD and ECAD drawings and documents is very impossible to make through the common and normal printer. The job that need to do all the task above need the printer that have the exceptional line definition and accuracy, high-speed-throughput, and a large, can handling multiple complex jobs simple simple-to-use touch-screen interface, one-click large format scanning and copying is more quick and
This experience can have a lifelong impact on my students’ futures. Additionally, it provides them with college and career readiness as well as giving them an advantage in the real world. One challenge that I may have with the 3D printer is that it might not let me print an object that is larger than the printer is capable of printing. My way of overcoming this challenge is by getting my students to choose an article that is small in size. The next challenge that may have an impact on implementing 3D printing models is my lack of knowledge on how to use it. I feel as though the 3D print is more difficult than the articles are saying it is. With the help of YouTube and other online resources, I believe I can learn step by step how to do the
3D printing is a technology that was invented in the early 1980s by a man named Charles Hull (Ventola, 2014). Since its creation, 3D printing has branched into many different aspects of the world and is being utilized in fields like the automotive industry, medicine and is even being used for everyday purposes. Later on, Charles Hull founded a company called 3D Systems which developed the first ever 3D printer. In 1988, Hull and his company 3D Systems, put forth the first commercially available 3D printer. From this point on, 3D printing would be advanced and evolved to the point where it would have the opportunity to create a revolutionary impact on the world we
