ADDITIVE AND GENERATIVE MANUFACTURING (3D PRINTING)
The speed of 3D printers to increase by 50-100X
3D printing rates have typically been limited by (1) The amount of force a printhead can apply, (2) How fast the material gets heated to induce flow, and (3) how quick the printhead itself can move. In a project by MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity, they created a printer 10 times faster than traditional desktop models and 3 times faster than a $100,000 industrial-scale system. Achieving record speeds, the MIT team printed a helical bevel gear in a mere 10 minutes, and a pair of eyeglass frames in only 3.6 minutes.
Affordable & Sustainable 3D printed Living rooms
Disruption in the real estate & construction industries will be experienced at exponential scale. According to an article by Singularity Hub,3D printed homes are affordable and eco-friendly alternatives over traditional housing
Convincing and delicious 3D printed steaks and burgers in fine restaurants on Earth and in space
3D printed meat using plant-based proteins will provide a more sustainable solution to feeding the world’s growing population. According to a newsletter by The NY Times, livestock produces 14.5 to 18 percent of global human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, which vamps a major impact on climate and environment. Whereas, 3D printed meat gives the same level of satisfaction for meat consumption minus the harsh environmental effects
Metal 3D printers will overtake plastics
Studies from the MIT Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity demonstrated 3D printed antimicrobial surgical forceps. This gives us an inference to prepare for the emergence of 3D printing in fashion arts like jewelry, shoes, automobiles, aircraft parts, kitchen & households, and other prototypes. 3D metal printers will not only eliminate waste in manufacturing, but also create more lightweight parts. Biodegradable cellulose might turn as a promising alternative to plastics in 3D printers of the future.
Smarty 3D Printers:
Smart 3D printers with natural language processing, AI-powered generative design, and customization abilities will provide seamless design engineering.
As new methods and materials continue to escalate, what are your thoughts in integrating 3D printing into your own business? What new avenues will you explore around these applications?

4 年Yaa, Every method has its own perfection, there are so many methods to manufacture(e.g casting, forging so & so) But everything isn't casted or forged, as of this 3D printing has its own uniqueness, best for unit production & making prototypes & obviously which are not produced in mass.
3D printer is surely will be pivotal in future, as it produces lighter weight components in a faster and accurate way, according to design. Recently Bhugati made first 3D printed brake calipers for the Chiron. Very accurate and lighter in weight.
