3D printing:
3D printing is also known as desktop fabrication or
additive manufacturing,
it is a prototyping process whereby an real object
is created from a 3D design.
The digital 3D-model is saved in STL format
and then sent to a 3D printer. The
3D printer then print the design layer
by layer and form a real object.
3D printing technologies:
Quite a few technologies are capable to do
3D printing. The main differences
are how layers are built to create parts.
SLS (selective laser sintering), FDM
(fused depostion modeling) & SLA
(stereolithograhpy) are the most
widely used technologies for 3D printing.
Selective laser sintering (SLS)
and fused deposition modeling (FDM) use melting
or softening material to
produce the layers.
This video describe
how laser-sintering process melt fine powders, bit by
bit, into 3D shapes.

3D printing applications:
One of the most important applications of 3D
printing is in the medical
industry. With 3D printing, surgeons can produce
mockups of parts of their
patient's body which needs to be operated
upon.
3D printing make it possible to make
a part from scratch in just hours. It
allows designers and developers to go
from flat screen to exact part.
Nowadays
almost everything from aerospace components to toys are getting
built with
the help of 3D printers. 3D printing is also used for jewelry and
art,
architecture, fashion design, art, architecture and interior
design.
3D printer:
3D printer is unlike of the common printers. On a 3D
printer the object is
printed by three dimension. A 3D model is built up
layer by layer. Therefore the
whole process is called rapid prototyping, or
3D printing. Read

The resolution of the current printers are among the 328 x 328
x 606 DPI
(xyz) at 656 x 656 x 800 DPI (xyz) in ultra-HD resolution. The
accuracy is 0.025
mm - 0.05 mm per inch. The model size is up to 737 mm x
1257 mm x 1504
mm.
The biggest
drawback for the individual home user is still the high cost of 3D printer.
Another drawback is that it takes hours or even days to
print a 3D model
(depending on the complexity and resolution of the model).
Besides above, the
professional 3D software and 3D model design is also in
a high cost range.
Alternatively there
are already simplified 3D printers for hobbyist which are
much cheaper. And
the materials it uses is also less expensive. These 3D printers for home
use
are not as accurate as commercial 3D
printer.

3d printing & rapid prototyping machine:
3D printers are the simple version of rapid prototyping
machines. It is lower
lost and less capable.
Rapid prototyping is a conventional
method that has been used by automotive
and aircraft industries for years.
In general 3D printers are compact
and smaller than RP machines. They are
ideal for use in offices. They use
less energy and take less space. They are
designed for low volume
reproduction of real objects made of nylon or other plastics.
That also
means 3D printers make smaller parts. Rapid prototyping
machines have build
chambers at least 10 inches on a side, a 3D printer has less
than 8 inches
on a side. However a 3D printer is capable of all the functions of
rapid
prototyping machine such as verifying and validating design, creating
prototype, remote sharing of information etc.
Consequently 3D printers
are easy to handle and cheap to maintain. You can buy one of those DIY kit in
the market and build up yourself. It is cheaper than the professional rapid
prototyping, for $1000 or less you can have one 3D printer. While the
professional rapid prototyping cost at least $50,000.3D printers are
less accurate than rapid prototyping machines. Because of its simplicity the
material choices are also limited.

What can you make with a 3D printer:
In 3D printing area, people say "If You Can Draw It, You
Can Make It". In the
video below shows many items can be made with a 3D
printer. However complicated
objects can only be made by professional 3D
printers, they are not yet affortable for common family.
