3D Printers

3D printers build three dimensional models in layers by melting plastic filament. They are available for commercial and home use.

Is it possible for a 3D printer to print out another 3D printer?

User Avatar

Asked by DavidCary

You can make a MODEL of an organ with a 3D printer- but printers do not make living tissue (yet). The printer is controlled by a computer program that tells it where to deposit a drop of material, and the object is built up one drop at a time.

Can 3d printer print shirts?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Standard 3D printer using regular PLA or ABS filament. We used an Ultimaker 2 with a heated bed and a Zeepro Zim, without a heated bed.

T-shirt. Cotton, polyester, or blends. Large surface decorations will interfere with the extruder.

Small clips. We recommend you use plastic clips or small clothespins. You don't want anything that will scratch your build plate and you also want small clips so they won't hit the sides of the printer when the build plates moves.

3D model. We used Tinkercad and prints downloaded from the Thingiverse.

Software for slicing. We used Cura.

Fabric glue (optional). Flexible fabric glue such as Fabri-tac or Jewel-it

3d printing is new but it has the brightest future prospect

It saves time to produce the prototype of material

It helps in industrial designing

Medical equipment testing is necessary before the actual trial.

3D means three-dimensional, i.e. something that has a width, height, and depth. Our physical environment is three-dimensional and we move around in 3D every day. The 3D printer is the device by which we do 3d printing material. 3D printing is the technology. I took service from Iannone 3D, which is in New jersey area offer quality 3D prototyping service at a price point.

3D implies three-dimensional, something that has a width, stature, and profundity. Our physical condition is three-dimensional and we move around in 3D consistently. In 3D World Printers are Moved to 3D Printers. The 3D printer is the gadget by which we complete 3d printing material. 3D printing is the innovation.

When was 3D printing discovered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first 3D printer was created by Charles W. (Chuck) Hull in the mid-1980s. It used a technique called stereolithography, in which a UV laser is shined into a vat of ultraviolet-sensitive photopolymer, tracing the object to be created on its surface. The polymer solidifies wherever the beam touches it, and the beam "prints" the object layer by layer per the instructions in the CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) file it's working from. Hull founded a company called 3D Systems, which made stereolithography machines. Stereolithography is an expensive commercial technique, with machines usually. Today 3D Systems sells 3D printers that use a variety of technologies and range from entry-level kits to advanced commercial systems, as well as providing on-demand parts services, mostly to business users. 3D printing are now increaing technology. For different filaments i can refer 3dpartistry. They provide all types of filaments.

What materials can a 3D printer print?

There are so many materials you can choose from when it comes to 3D printing that it's often tough to decide on the right one. But do not fear! Tinkercad's Materials Guide is here! Our easy-to-read guide will help you select the perfect material based on a few important factors, like type, minimum thickness, texture and the all-important cost. Whether you're looking to 3D print a prototype or a unique 3D gift, our Materials Guide will help guide you through the process!

Is a 3d printer a output device?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A 3D printer is a computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) device that creates three-dimensional objects. Like a traditional printer, a 3D printer receives digital data from a computer as input. However, instead of printing the output on paper, a 3D printer builds a three-dimensional model out of a custom material.

A printer is a device that accepts text and graphic output from a computer and transfers the information to paper, usually to standard size sheets of paper. Printers vary in size, speed, sophistication, and cost. In general, more expensive printers are used for higher-resolution color printing.

How is a 3D printer different from a ordinary printer?

Asked by Wiki User

The 2D and 3D terms should speak for themselves. 2D is a flat surface (a piece of paper for example) with X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) dimensions. 3D on the other hand adds on another dimension - "depth". So you have X, Y and Z (for depth).

To put it in simple words, with a 2D printer you're able to print text and images on a paper - or a flat surface. With 3D printer, you can print physical objects just as we see them around us. The applications of 3D printers are revolutionary when compared to 2D printers. For instance, take a look at this article mylocal3dprinting.com/blog/adorable-5-year-old-gets-a-3d-printed-prosthetic-arm/

What is 3D printing?

  • 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
  • The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created.
  • Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

How does 3D printing work?

It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is for instance a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file. This CAD file is created using a 3D modeling application or with a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). A 3D scanner can make a 3D digital copy of an object.

MIT developed what was originally called a 3d printer. It used a starch powder to bond layers at a time. The patent rights were sold to Z Corporation. Today this term has branched out to include other technologies including FDM, SLA, SLS, LOM, MJM, DMLS, and so and so forth.

I have been having a hard time finding any files that print on the Predator. Most of the .stl files give me an error on line xxx and won't print. Most of the G-code files seem to print ok, so far. If you find any good g-code files please answere back. Thank you.
