3D printing is a powerful technology that is playing astrong role in quite a few industries across the globe. Whether youre in someform of engineering, a part of a marketing team, or involved within the medicalworld, 3D printing has the power to change your industry. There are variousother industries affected by this technology, but lets break it down. Anyindustry that relies on physical models & diagrams, or almost any form ofmanufacturing can use 3D printing. Im not going to talk about a particularindustry in this article though. Although 3D printing is playing a strong rolewithin quite a few industries, lets not talk industry. Lets talk a movement.Lets talk about 3d printing and the maker movement. Before we even jump into that, lets talk about 3D printing.What is it? What does this technology do? How is it relevant to the makermovement? Let me answer that for you. 3D printing is the layer by layercreation of virtually whatever you need to have made through a 3D printer.Essentially for this process to work, a 3D model will be made on the computer.A designer, artist, engineer, or whoever will have to create a computergenerated image on the computer. This image, or 3D model, will be sent to theprinter itself. Since the printer uses a computer aided manufacturing system,it is almost automated. As soon as the printer gets a 3D model, the operatoressentially has to click go on the printer to work. So in a nut shell 3Dprinting involves the design of a computer image on the computer. This imagewill then be sent to the printer. The printer will then follow up by layingdown the material layer by layer and youll have your product! What is the maker movement? What the heck is that? The makermovement is a movement of garage programmers, builders, and nerds to be honest.This group of visionaries is very much responsible for influencing a huge chunkof the 3D printing industry, and making great use out of it! Some people withinthe maker movement are making spare parts to their broken gadgets. Some peopleare making great art through this movement, all from their garages. 3D printing is becoming very much available to the people ona home movement. Printers are becoming available for less than $3,000. Some areeven closer to $2,000. There are even a few popular printers being sold foraround $1,000, and a couple of them are being sold for even less than that!This kind of thing is great, as it is bringing technology to quite a few peoplethat want it! When a consumer wants to get his or her hands on a printer,it is very much possible through capitalism. There are tons of DIY printers outthere for anyone to get their hands on. Having the ability to manufacture outof your garage with a 3D printer offering a computer aided manufacturing CAMsystem is a pretty significant feat.
