Technology is growing by leaps and bounds, today we have a lot of what was previously impossible to access. Such is the case of the 3D printer, 30 years ago when Chuck Hull made the first 3D printing did not imagine that today, would lead to a next industrial revolution, as some experts say.
One of the first industries that tested this invention were the automotive and aerospace, organizations such as Mercedes Benz and General Motors, used it to generate prototypes and in turn, NASA contemplated the ‘Zero G’ printer as a considered tool for printing objects in 3D aboard the spacecraft, this would be useful to create what is needed without the need to send it to Earth.
Other areas such as medicine and the fashion industry also benefit from 3D printers, today prostheses and even organs are developed thanks to this, and designers such as Chanel, Versace and Zac Posen have made use of 3D printers in their designs. At the same time, brands such as New Balance and Nike have created templates that are now used in their tennis.
3D printers, are functional and practical artifacts, can print on materials such as: plastic, steel, titanium and even chocolate and caramel. Today, there are many homes that have scope to 3D printers so it allows customization and manufacturing what you want, faster, with less pollution and saving money. However, in addition to having many advantages, in the future, if we all have a 3D printer in our hands can contribute to the falsification and reduction of employment worldwide.
In the end, everything has its advantages and disadvantages and the future will witness what will happen. Meanwhile, let’s enjoy the innovations and make their disadvantages a positive thing.
