The word "3D printing" has been appearing in our sights for a few years, and I always hear the word, but it seems that I don't think it is practical, but I am familiar but a bit far away. In fact, I don’t know if I don’t know what to do. I’ve been shocked by the fact that 3D has quietly penetrated into every aspect of our lives.

3D printing is simply a kind of rapid prototyping technology. It is a technology based on a digital model file, which uses an adhesive material such as powder metal or plastic to form an object by layer-by-layer printing. Next, everyone will come along with the little fairies to take stock of the 3D printing results that are closely related to our lives.

3D printed running shoes

This kind of shoes is close to our daily life, so the first 3D printing result to be mentioned is the 3D printing running shoes. In April of this year, in order to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the brand, New Balance has officially released a total of 44 pairs of limited edition 3D printing running shoes Zante Generate in cooperation with 3D Systems. 3D Systems uses the unique DuraForm TPU high-elastic material and SLS printing technology, and the sole cross section presents a honeycomb structure that maximizes cushioning and stability. However, its price is not cheap, each pair is priced at $400, although the price is very expensive, but at least a good attempt.

And before Adidas also announced the concept of a 3D printed running shoe sole mezzanine, through a technology called Futurecraft 3D, allowing customers to walk into the store, run on the treadmill for a while, then customers can take their 3D printed running shoes to leave Shop to make shoes more comfortable and comfortable.

3D printing villa

Looking at the picture below, can you think that it is 3D printed?

It is indeed 3D printed, and it is also made of reinforced concrete, which can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8! The world's first 3D printed villa was completed in 45 days. This villa has 2 floors and each has 6 rooms, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Because 3D printing is layered printing, the materials are stacked one layer at a time, so its appearance looks like a circle of thread, but it also adds to the artistic atmosphere of this villa.

The printer that "prints" the villa is naturally uncommon. It consists of two tracks, two brackets and a large movable nozzle. It is reported that when this huge project is implemented, almost no human participation is required, and only technical experts can supervise the whole process.

Should we live in this 3D printed house in the future?

3D printing super sports car

Not much to say, look at the picture first:

The “handsome guy” above is the world’s first supercar, the Blade, which emits only one-third of an electric car, and the factory cost is only 1/50 of that of other cars.

Connect 3D printed nodes with carbon fiber tubing

In the "printing" process, Blade first 3D printed aluminum "node" structure, and then connected together through ready-made carbon fiber pipe. When all the nodes are printed, several unskilled workers can assemble the car chassis within a few minutes! ! !

However, the rapid birth process did not affect the performance of the car. The Blade is an uncompromising supercar that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds (this number for the McLaren P1) It is 2.8 seconds). It weighs just 1400 pounds and is fitted with a four-cylinder 700-horsepower dual-fuel internal combustion engine that can be fueled with gasoline or compressed natural gas.

Blade's team plans to produce 10,000 of these super sports cars each year for their potential customers. Of course, the price will be very economical. The little fairy can't help but sneak a peek. Is the young man's first super sports car coming? 3D printing is reliable!

3D printed Bluetooth headset

Bluetooth headsets are almost standard for modern people. Today's Bluetooth headsets absorb a lot of cutting-edge technology, and the avant-garde 3D technology can't be missed. Let's take the domestically-made new Haig U1 Bluetooth as an example. The Haig U1 uses 3D printing technology.

The Haig U1 is not traditional in order to make it comfortable for most people. It is said that engineers have collected more than 3,800 pairs of Asian human ear data models, based on ergonomics, to design its extremely complex appearance. model.

Due to the high complexity of the outer casing, the traditional mold production can not achieve sufficient accuracy, and finally the black box U1 "must have to" use 3D printing technology to manufacture, but this also pioneered the 3D printing technology for headphones.

3D printing human organs

Human organs that can be transplanted, yes, now you can get it through 3D printing!

The latest 3D bioprinting technology developed by the world-famous Polytechnic University of Zurich, can be cultured and self-organized in 3D by cell tissue from the patient's own body. The team has now created an ear and nose through biopolymers and chondrocytes, and it takes only 16 minutes to print a nose!

The printer has a wheel that supports eight syringes. Each syringe is filled with the corresponding biomaterial, and the printed material comes from the patient, such as the knee or finger to obtain living tissue cells, and then cultured in the laboratory. In this process, some biopolymers are added, and finally these materials are placed in the printer's syringe for prosthetic printing.

The benefits of 3D bioprinting are self-evident, such as the absence of immune rejection after transplantation, which blends with the ontology. This type of transplant is particularly beneficial for children with defects.

Whether 3D printing can have a subversive effect on the medical industry, it is now possible to have a lot of imagination.
