... 1. RAPID PROTOTYPING MANUFACTURING. 1.1 DEFINITION. Rapid prototyping manufacturing is a group of techniques used to manufacture, in a fast way, a model of a specific piece generating a model in CAD, (Computer Aided Design), with 3D data as fast as possible. Nowadays is used as one manufacturing process more. An example is found in the dental sector, in which it is used to manufacture the metallic structures that will be coated by ceramic creating dental crowns and bridges. The most used technique is the 3D printing or additive layer manufacturing. The first methods of rapid prototyping manufacturing were available in 80’s. Nowadays, is expanded, and as I mentioned, is not only to make prototypes, it is use to produce small series...

...Google enabled their hardware to perform 3d scanning, a great example is Microsoft’s Kinect. This is a clear sign that future hand-held devices like smartphones will have integrated 3d scanners. Digitizing real objects into 3d models will become as easy as taking a picture. Prices of 3d scanners range from very expensive professional industrial devices to 30 USD DIY devices anyone can make at home. Processes and technologies Not all 3D printers use the same technology. There are several ways to print and all those available are additive, differing mainly in the way layers are build to create the final object. Some methods use melting or softening material to produce the layers. Selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) are the most common technologies using this way of printing. Another method of printing is when we talk about curing a photo-reactive resin with a UV...

...________________ 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Rapid prototyping Rapid Prototyping (RP) can be defined as a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. What is commonly considered to be the first RP technique, Stereolithography, was developed by 3D Systems of Valencia, CA, USA. The company was founded in 1986, and since then, a number of different RP techniques have become available. Rapid Prototyping has also been referred to as solid free-form manufacturing; computer automated manufacturing, and layered manufacturing. RP has obvious use as a vehicle for visualization. In addition, RP models can be used for testing, such as when an airfoil shape is put into a wind tunnel. RP models can be used to create male models for tooling, such as silicone rubber molds and investment casts. In some cases, the RP part can be the final part, but typically the RP material is not strong or accurate enough. When the RP material is suitable, highly convoluted shapes (including parts nested within parts) can be produced because of the nature of RP. Fig 1. Rapid prototyping worldwide There is a multitude of experimental RP methodologies either in development or used by small groups of individuals. They are listed as given below. Stereolithography (SLA) Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM™) Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Solid Ground Curing (SGC) Ink...

...states of the additive manufacturing (3D printing) industry. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing refers to various processes used to synthesize a three dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are formed under computer control to create an object. 3D printers were large machines costing several hundred thousand dollars had existed since the early 1980s and they were called Raid Prototyping (RP) technologies. The first commercial RP system, the SLA-1 was introduced in 1987 and following thorough testing the first of these systems was sold in 1988. A number of competing companies in the RP existed in the early nineties like Ballistic Particle Manufacturing (BPM) by William Masters, Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) by Michael Feygin, Solid Ground Curing (SGC) by Emanuel Sachs etc. but only three of the originals remain today-3D systems, EOS and Stratasys. Throughout the 1990’s and early 2000’s a number of new technologies were introduced, focusing on industrial applications. The most common 3D printing method was Fused Disposition Modeling (FDM), used by MakerBot. The 3 D printing technology is expected to reach $3.1 billion worldwide by this year and $5.2 billion by 2020. 2. Define and describe open source versus proprietary hardware and software.

...[Your Name] [Course Title] [Teacher’s Name] By [Your Name] [Course Title] [Teacher’s Name] By [Report Title] [Report Title] Motivation The applications for 3D Printing in Healthcare are immense. One of the most obvious is its use in printing prosthetics, which face a high rejection rate due to improper fit. Traditional prosthetic hands cost upwards of $50,000, and many insurance companies refuse to pick up the bill for children, who end up outgrowing them within only a couple years. It’s just not practical from a financial standpoint to spend $50,000 for a hand that a child may get very minimal use out of. Using open source 3D printable design files, anyone with a 3D printer can print out a custom sized prosthetic hand in a matter of hours. The price tag? Between $15-$50. That’s right, less than 1/10,000 of the price of traditional prosthesis. There are literally thousands upon thousands of children with severe upper limb disabilities from all over the world. The ability to create extremely affordable prosthetic hands means there is tremendous potential for all of these children and even adults to benefit from this Prosthetics Definition In medicine, a prosthesis, (from Ancient Greek prósthesis, "addition, application, attachment")[1] is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions. Prosthetic amputee rehabilitation is primarily coordinated by a prosthetist and an inter-disciplinary...

...McKinsey Global Institute May 2013 Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on four themes: productivity and growth, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, and the impact of the Internet. MGI is led by McKinsey & Company directors Richard Dobbs and James Manyika. Yougang Chen, Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI principals. Project teams are led by a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey’s offices around the world. These teams draw...
