Amazing things that can be printed on a 3D printer - Articles - Arrivo

"What we need to build a house - draw, we will live" - ​​today this phrase has become a reality. Everyone is happy with the progress in 3D printing: archaeologists are copying mummies, NASA specialists are growing artificial meat, birds are moving into high-tech birdhouses, and designers are bringing to life the most daring shoes that girls have ever worn. We offer you to get acquainted with the latest innovations and trends in 3D printing.

Pistol

Owners of 3D printers can get their hands on a weapon by downloading a few files from the Defense Distributed website. The printed pistols look like weapons from science fiction films, but are not yet as reliable as real ones. However, progress does not stand still - last year, Solid Concepts printed the world's first 3D metal gun.

SLR camera

French designer Leo Marius managed to print a SLR camera. The author of the invention did not fail to share it with the world - today anyone who does not spare $30 to download files from Marius' website and 15 hours to assemble the camera can become the owner of the unique Open Reflex "reflex camera".

Marius did not dare to create a 3D printed lens, and the Japanese Yuki Suzuki was not afraid of this either. He made the lens out of clear acrylic. The pictures taken on this camera can hardly be called high-quality, but Suzuki did not seek to please the capricious fans of Canons and Nikons - he was primarily guided by scientific interest.

Waterproof bikini and futuristic shoes

Advanced designers have also learned how to customize the 3D printer to suit their needs. Special software today allows you to quickly make clothes, taking into account the individual parameters of a person. Using new technologies, designers from Continuum, for example, have already managed to create a waterproof nylon bikini.

It is possible that 3D outfits will soon become a trend, but so far only celebrities, and even very extravagant ones, risk flaunting futuristic dresses.

Last year, Lady Gaga appeared in public in a black dress printed on a 3D printer by Materialize. Flashed in a printed dress and "Queen of Burlesque" Dita Von Teese. At the same time, the dress for Dita was made according to the drawings of the medieval mathematician Fibonacci and consisted of 17 different parts.

Designers have not forgotten about the part of the wardrobe so beloved by women, like shoes - in this genre, a 3D printer can work real miracles. For example, Sebastian Errazuriz printed a unique collection called "12 Shoes for 12 Lovers", dedicated to his apparently difficult relationships with women. Among the gems of the collection are shoes called "Gold Digger Allison", "Snow Queen Sofia", "Soldier Jane Barbara" and "Crybaby Alexander".

Desserts

Replacing traditional plastic cartridges with melted chocolate, the possibilities for creating desserts are endless. Chocedge has created exclusive 3D printers that can print any pattern in chocolate, including your own photo. If chocolate is too traditional for you, you can try unusual sweets from Cubify.

Meanwhile, Modern Meadow is hard at work building a printer that can print a steak. To do this, scientists use sophisticated technology, including the cultivation of stem cells.

The 3D printed food project is being funded by the space agency NASA, which believes it will be possible to feed astronauts in this way in the near future.

Researchers also assure that the day is not far off when modern technologies will allow even pizza to be printed. To do this, they say, it is simply necessary to increase the number of cartridges in the printer by adding dough, cheese and other necessary ingredients.

Acoustic guitar

The world's first 3D-printed acoustic guitar was Scott Summit, who claims that his creation even surpasses hand-assembled instruments. New Zealander Olaf Digel followed in his footsteps, creating a whole line of so-called ODD guitars, among which there is even an instrument in the form of a web with spiders crawling inside.

3D printing is not limited to guitars. So, an employee of the MIT Media Lab, Amit Zoran, managed to print a real flute, and the German company EOS created a 3D model of a violin based on a polymer. But innovative instruments still sound much worse than traditional ones.

James Bond car

The creators of the latest James Bond film, Skyfall Coordinates, regretted really blowing up the legendary 1960 Aston Martin DB5 special agent car, and printed a 1:3 scaled down version of it on a 3D printer.

It is the 3D printed version that explodes on the screen at the climax of the film.

A complete car can also be printed on a 3D printer. This is how all 50 parts of Urbee 2 were created, which is capable of accelerating to 112 km / h and driving up to 64 km on electric power alone. At the same time, the streamlined body of the machine significantly reduces fuel consumption. In 2015, the creators of the hybrid are going to drive more than 4,000 km on it, spending only 38 liters of fuel.

Prostheses and human organs

In 2011, Richard Wang, who lost 4 fingers while working in his workshop, 3D printed his own prosthesis. Subsequently, Richard began to design prosthetic hands called Robohand and even created the world's first 3D prosthetic laboratory in Sudan, where he helps disabled children.

The use of 3D printers in medicine promises to become even more useful over time - Chinese scientists have already learned how to print prototypes of human organs. True, they “live” for no more than 4 months and are devoid of blood vessels. However, according to researchers, it will be possible to “print” full-fledged organs in 15-20 years.

Turntable

Amanda Gassey created a turntable using a 3D printer. You can't listen to classic vinyl records on it, but Amanda also came up with a special program that converts any sound file into 3D format. The sound quality of such records leaves much to be desired, so the creation can be considered rather as a design refinement.

Bicycle

Why reinvent the wheel? It's better to print it on a 3D printer, EADS decided. The AirBike created in this way impresses with its characteristics. Firstly, it is 65% lighter than its classic aluminum counterparts, and secondly, it is no less durable than them.

Birdhouse

Coming into contact with such a brilliant creation of our time as a 3D printer, one cannot but share it with the smaller brothers. Recently, MakerBot held a competition for the best printed birdhouse. The owners of 3D printers did not stint on ideas for birdhouses: many creations were sent to the competition in all possible styles - from classic to high-tech. The winner was Eric Darwoodle, who built a real cozy villa for some lucky bird.

Lamp

Thanks to the development of Materialize, everyone can create their own unique lamp. If you do not believe in your design abilities, you can simply choose one of the copies available on the Internet and print it on your own 3D printer or order it for home delivery. Such lamps are able to turn any room into a forest from Avatar, casting the thinnest shadows on the ceiling. Designers from Nervous system assure that each lamp they create with a leaf pattern is unique, just like plants in nature.

Mummy

While the real mummy of the Egyptian emperor Tutankhamun rests in his homeland, in New York they recreated its exact copy using a 3D printer. Materialize, which created the reproduction, used CT scan data. The copy is made from photopolymer resin applied layer by layer. Makeup artists helped to fully match its counterpart to the 3D printed version of Tutankhamun.

3D children's drawings

The Crayon creatures site offers everyone the opportunity to bring children's drawings to life by printing them out in 3D. The idea is good because it makes getting a new toy dependent on the development of children's artistic skills. Who knows, maybe, having such a motivation, one day your child will learn to draw no worse than Van Gogh or Picasso.

Toys for adults

With the help of a 3D printer, you can create toys not only for children, but also for adults. So, the site Maker love offers a free and quite diverse design of sex products. If you have a 3D printer, you can download and print any copy you like here, and do it in a size that is limited only by your imagination.

Gadget Accessories

Gadget fans will love 3D printed accessories too. Printers today can print a case for an iPhone or iPad. If you want something extraordinary, you can turn to designer creations. So, SaGa design has developed an unusual stand for a tablet, which is an atlas supporting the gadget.

Art objects and sculptures

A lacy skull, a puppet horse or a futuristic bouquet of flowers - the possibilities of 3D printing are limited only by the imagination of the author of the art object. Many designers have already turned to this genre, and some of them have managed to create real masterpieces of our time with the help of a 3D printer.

For example, Josh Hacker is making headway towards lace skulls. According to him, he sets as his task "the embodiment of the architecture of the imagination." And Mikaella Janse van Vuuren printed out a three-dimensional image of her drawing of a puppet horse with movable wings and functional joints.

Jewelry

Jewelry created using the power of 3D printing, although not precious, is undeniably unique. The American design studio Nervous System has 3D printed flexible jewelry, consisting of hundreds of small fragments connected by miniature hinges. To create such decorations, fragments are combined in a special graphic editor into the final three-dimensional model, which is then compressed to a small size and sent to print.

House

Dutch architect Janyap Reissenaars from Universe Architecture is going to build an entire building using a 3D printer. As conceived by the author, the printer will create sections of the building (6 by 9 meters in size) from sand and a binder. The final material promises to be stronger than cement. Although the building will still need to be reinforced with concrete, this is the world's first project to build an entire building using a 3D printer.

Furniture

By 3D printing a house, you can create furniture for it in the same way. There are already tables, chairs and even beds that have been made using 3D printing. Basically, such furniture is created from individual parts, but recently BigRep created a printer that can print whole furniture. The dimensions of such furniture are quite standard.

The machine can work with nylon, plastic and Laywood, which looks like real wood.

3D printer

The RepRap 3D printer is unique in that it can print itself. Nevertheless, it still does not reproduce all of its own parts, and the final assembly must still be carried out by a person. The creators of RepRap believe that the universal self-replicating 3D printer can eventually be used in the production of small household items.
