  • 3D printing is changing the way we produce objects, from tools and toys, to food, and even body parts. It's a tech revolution taking place in homes across the world.
    But how does it work exactly, and what makes it so efficient? Mashable explains the basics of 3D printing technology.

      Agreed. Far too many people these days just love to hear themselves talk and add so much fluff. This was great...no ads, no intro, no long-winded tangents, no trying-to-be-cute goofiness. Just got right to the point.

    The real question is: can you use a 3D Printer to create a 3D Printer? A question for the scholars...

    • @tharasian3785
      @tharasian3785 7 років тому +76

      I would say it can create the body of it BUT it can't create the programming of it. In other words you can create the body but have to work on the chips and programming alone. Besides you should use materials other than plastic. Add to that the material used should have less melting degree than the materials of the original 3D printer but only less than it by a little so it can be used for most of the other materials. And it will always be smaller (the produced one) than the original one. THESE ARE MY THOUGHTS AND ASSUMPTIONS ONLY ONLY SO THEY ARE MOST LIKELY NOT BE 100% CORRECT SHORT ANSWER: Yes but it will be a little bit of a different process.

    • @sumeetjain9075
      @sumeetjain9075 6 років тому +3

      Atma you can print a model, but it won't print until it has the mechanism, parts and programming required to 3d print an object.

    • @patrikb2068
      @patrikb2068 6 років тому +2

      "you should use materials other than plastic" You can print some kind of metal also, which is pretty strong actually. We have a metal printer (and two plastic) at the factory i work.

I like it as a challenge to build objects that fly "by themselves" but I'd also like to make small models of planes that fly - sometimes even histirical models, although it becomes a bit more difficult.... Now! All the "wiring" and electronics I make by myself - the cameras I put on them are for just for flight obviously, not for "spying on my neighbours". Sometimes I need plastic parts that I cannot find elsewhere - a friends of mine has a small 3-d printer (his father is an architect and like to print or "create ad hoc" his designs for potential customers to see - the success he had is AMAZING. I am asking if I could use metal for inctance! Is it possible??

    Is very interesting the 3D printing, but I don't know if it will have a lot of expense in a long time

    This technology can generate anything, with great quality and avoid using other artifacts that detract from the quality of what you want to create for example in toys.
    The problem is that I think it is very expensive and require great designers.
