Get something 3d printed uk

Research shows that the UK 3D printing market could be £2.9 billion in the future Kids toys.

According to OnePoll, over 5 million adults are willing to spend around £500 on a 3D printer if it's easy to use. About 49 live in the UKmillion adults (ONS data). If 1.8% of residents are willing to spend about £500 on a 3D printer, then the UK 3D printing market will be worth £2.9 billion.

However, there are some doubts about the practical value of a 3D printer, as 4 out of 10 people admitted that they had no idea what to do with it.

Chris Elsworthy, CEO of the Robox company, said: “3D printing has already made its mark on the world of technology. As far as the average person is concerned, we still have a long way to go.” nine0003

“We found that the British are becoming more and more interested in new technologies, but as with any unfamiliar subject, it takes time for them to understand what a home 3D printer can be useful for.”

"The consumer is unlikely to be able to use most existing printers: they are too expensive, difficult to manage and too large to put on the table."

"On the other hand, we've learned that more and more people want a printer that's relatively inexpensive, nice looking, and easy to use." nine0003

In a study of 1,000 people, it turned out that many would like to get creative and print something unusual. A third of those surveyed said they would rather use homemade items such as pipe brackets, holders and doorknobs instead of going to the store to get them.

In addition, a quarter of the respondents admitted that they do not have time to run around the shops in search of gifts for friends and relatives, and they think that a hand-made gift will make an equally pleasant impression. nine0003

One fifth of the respondents liked the idea of ​​printing their own case for their phone or tablet. The same number of people would 3D-print a kitchen and print coffee cups, knives, and utensils.

Other uses for 3D printing include picture holders, photo frames, baby shower favors, and all sorts of designer items, including jewelry and belt buckles. All this encourages you to think about buying a 3D printer if it becomes affordable and inexpensive. By the way, some people would also like to save money on children's toys by printing Lego bricks, action figures and lost parts from different games. nine0003

Elsworthy said: “The bottom line is that the possibilities of 3D printing are endless, because you can design or replicate any product from the comfort of your home.”

“We've already received a lot of inquiries from local schools whose students dream of seeing Robox in action. Children are always interested in new technologies. In addition, it is easy for them to explain what and how they can print.

Robox 3D 3D Printer Coming to the UK and US Markets Early 2014 Costing £849pounds / 1364 dollars. The developers position it as a “plug and print” device, which even a beginner can figure out how to manage. This is a stylish 3D printer that is equipped with a revolutionary "FFF based dual nozzle print head". One nozzle is designed for printing surfaces with fine details, while the other is for fast filling. Robox is also equipped with an automatic print platform leveling system, a closed feedback circuit and an extrusion system with double pinch rollers. nine0003

“3D printing is the future, as it will allow many people to educate themselves. The results of this study are incredible, as they prove that people are already interested in 3D printers, although they do not yet have the opportunity to buy them,” said Elsworthy.

The survey also found that men are twice as interested in buying a 3D printer than women, indicating their penchant for all sorts of technical innovations.

It is not surprising that teenagers are also tempted to print things at home, while those aged 18-44 are more interested in mastering new technology than those who are 15-16 years old. nine0003

Interestingly, only 12 percent of those surveyed “do not know” what a 3D printer is.

A 3D-printed eye was transplanted to a UK patient for the first time. How the printed organ industry is developing

A 3D printed eye was transplanted into a man for the first time in history. nine0003

Scientists note that printing an artificial eye on a 3D printer takes about 2.5 hours.

Approximately 60,000 people in the UK need regular prosthetic eye replacements. Their printing on 3D printers will reduce the number of people on the waiting list for organ transplants.

The global 3D bioprinting market is currently valued at more than $960 million, and by 2026, according to analysts, it could reach $4.4 billion.

In the UK, 40-year-old Steve Werba had a 3D printed eye fitted. This operation was the first of its kind in world history. This was reported by the press service of the Moorfields Eye Hospital.

• Prior to this, Verbe, who had lost his left eye, had been using prosthetic eyes for 20 years and had to be replaced every 5 years. The new prosthesis will last longer and look more like a real eye.
• According to the Daily Mail, scientists said that the man did not manage to regain his sight, but he hopes that he will be more confident with such an eye. nine0042

• Printed implant transplanted at the expense of the state "National Health System".
• The British authorities are now considering further research into such operations in order to introduce them everywhere.
• Scientists note that it takes about 2.5 hours to print an artificial eye on a 3D printer, after which the eyepiece specialist takes care of its finishing, polishing and fitting. The entire eye is made within 2-3 weeks. nine0042
• Approximately 60,000 people in the UK require a regular replacement of a prosthetic eye.

In the world, a large number of people are waiting for their turn for organ transplants. For example, in China, there are 1.5 million people on the waiting list, in the United States - 113 thousand. The development of printing organs on a 3D printer can reduce these waiting lists.

• There are now over 100 companies in the world that produce 3D printers, which can also print organs. 39% of them are in the USA, 35% in Europe, 17% in Asia, 5% in Latin America.
• 3D Bioprinting Solutions produces such printers in Russia. In addition, in the spring of 2021, a group of students from St. Petersburg State University developed a test sample of a 3D printer capable of printing organs for transplantation.

According to experts, transplantation of 3D printed organs is considered one of the main trends of the future. They believe that in 10–15 years, bioprinters and cellular materials will be widely available and this kind of printing will be used even in remote regions. nine0003

• The global 3D bioprinting market is currently valued at more than $960 million, and by 2026, according to analysts, it could reach $4.
