3D Printing Uses

​Architecture

3D Printing for Future Architects
​

Here is a concept video from LeFabShop of what the future of architects and electric cars could offer.
​Prototypes or Models

3D printing is great for producing models or prototypes of buildings. In the photo below, Charles Overy, founder of LGM, shows a model of a resort in Vail, Colo. "We used to take two months to build $100,000 models," he said, adding that now they cost about $2,000.

​Your Dream Home

​Explore your imagination and build your dream home and then 3D print it!

​Blueprints

Take blueprints and convert them into actual models to get a better idea of a home's layout:

Medical

​Prosthetics

This is an area of 3D printing that is really exciting. The "limited run" or "one off" capabilities of 3D printing lend themselves very well to medical services because people are very unique. What fits one person, may not fit another person and 3D printing allows the medical field to create custom solutions for unique people.
Picture
We are also seeing instances where open source 3D printed prosthetics are performing better than expensive prosthetics.
Picture
3D printing is offering new solutions for old problems. For example, a broken bone. If you have ever had a broken bone, you know how itchy and smelly a traditional cast can get. New 3D printed casts offer breathability and the ability to repel water that traditional casts could not do while still providing the rigidity needed for healing.
Additionally, the ability to fully customize the casts allows the use of new techniques such as ultrasonic technologies that help the break heal faster. The two wires in the photo can be positioned over the actual break and send ultrasonic waves into the break which has been proven to heal bones faster.

Organs

In this video, Anthony Atala talks about how 3D printing technology is being used to create human organs to address the high demand and low availability of suitable donors.
Implants

3D printing is also being used to create replacement parts for humans that have failed us in some way. Everything as "simple" as a knee replacement to complex structures such as jaws and even skulls!

Recently, a woman received the first 3D printing skull implant. Due to a rare condition, her skull was thickening and putting pressure on her brain. They replaced her skull with a 3D printed one during a 23 hour operation.

Accessibility

3D printing allows people who have unique needs to develop their own solutions for common problems they run into.

"As a wheelchair-user I often need to overcome a step in front of a building, a shop, cafe or bar. Therefore I had the idea of printing me my own small ramp. It has to be as small as possible to carry it in my bag, when I'm on my way through Berlin. This is my first prototype. Please feel free to print and to develop it... Any feedback is apreciated!" --Thingiverse User nanonan
