3D printing has officially hit retail stores and affordable to the average costumer. 3D Systems has launched the Cube 3D printer and putting a price at only $999.99. The technology behind these printers is making the way we print to the next level, not only are we limited to printing photos or simple black and white documents. Now we can make 2D into three-dimensional objects, well as long as you stay within 6 x 6 x 6 dimensions for this particular printer. 3D printers use two types of cartridges, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and PLA (polylactic acid or polyactide). Both materials are essentially a plastic material that will slowly melt creating its desired object with high resolution of 70 microns, still a well-constructed detailed object considering it is the first of its kind available in retail stores. Motionborg offers an extremely high resolution of 7 microns on their 3D printing objects, which is beyond quality any printer in retail stores can offer.
3D printing has expanded its usefulness into many different industries and been utilized to support the production in such as eyewear, jewelry, footwear, automotive design, and architecture. The medical field has also taken part on using these tools by creating fascinating objects in hopes of helping out their patients. What’s even more amazing is that NASA in the last several years has been conducting studies on how to be able to print food in support of their aerospace missions. Being able to print food might just be around the corner, but only time will tell.
Distinctive software is needed along with a special printer and cartridges to complete a 3D project. CAD (computer-aided design) software will allow the user to be able to build or scan an object. CAD is an extraordinary software that replaces manual drafting with an automated process saving hundreds of hours in large projects. 3D printers are able to read .stl, .creation, and .cube files that must be created or transferred into one of these files through CAD software. Most printers will be able to print in three different types of modes: lines, diamonds, and honeycomb. Line mode is typically used for simple objects that don’t require much details, as honeycomb is a mode that would be used to increase the precision and details of an object. Both Windows and Mac operating systems are compatible with 3D printing making it easy to support both users.
Technology is constantly evolving, and it’s important to always stay and top of what‘s happening around it at all times, especially for business owners. Motionborg can help you stay in touch with a fast growing industry without any worries. We now have the capability of printing 3D, contact us today and see how Motionborg can help your business become a better tomorrow and assist with your printing. Consultations are FREE!
