How it works
• Computer aided design (CAD)• Resin method• Set in thin layers
• Powder method• Set by a binding substance and powder• Allows for many materials
Printable Materials
List of Printable Materials
Gold
Silver
Aluminum
Colored plastics
Glass-like substance
Ceramics
Stainless steel
Sandstone
Rubber
Architecture
• Used to create models• Faster than working
by hand• Commercial printers
are expensive
New Industry
• Online stores now offer service of printing• Offer many materials• Stores also sell 3-D printers made for personal use
• Kraftwurx.com• Shapeways.com
Future
• Technology will become more common• Less expensive
• Able to print more objects• Addition of new materials• Will be the new standard for building small models
