3D STREAMING TECHNOLOGY AND LIMITATIONS 3D films are not a new technology, but only recently have movies been brought into our homes thanks to the high capacity of Blu-Ray discs and because of new televisions that feature high refresh rates which show films at double the frame rate required for our eyes to distinguish motion. A 3D movie is really two entire movies shown at the same time, one that your left eye sees, and one for your right eye. Special glasses are required to switch between the

What is 3D printing? 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. How does 3D printing work? It all starts with making a virtual

Technology vs. Guns: The Unseen Side Effect Gun control is a topic that is at the tip of every politicians tongue in today’s society. With mass shooting seemingly on the rise it is no wonder why many are in an almost frantic mental state to find the cure for this pandemic. Any sane person can tell you that it is a great idea to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable, but the question remains of how? With the aid of computers and a mass network of online information

IMPACT OF 3D PRINTING ON ENGINEERING PRACTICE Name: Institution: Introduction 3D printing is the procedure of creating an objective material from a three-dimensional digital replica. Characteristically, this is done by laying down vast succeeding thin layers of a material (3-D printing: additive manufacturing, 2015)

Chelsea Johnson 3D Printing and Designers 3D Printing has made a huge impact on the world today; 3D printed clothes, shoes, body parts, bones, food and the list goes on. 3D printing is the process of adding a material to make a three dimensional solid object from a digital file. It is taking the world by storm changing so many dynamics. Even the 3D printer itself has evolved throughout the years. It can print the smallest thing such as a ring to a life size sculpture of some sort. The printer

3D printing economic questions and considerations 3D printing economic questions and considerations Definition Three dimensional printing refers to a procedure that employs the formation of solid three dimensional objects that can take the form of any shape desired based on the designs of a digital model. In order to achieve a three dimensional print output, one is required to utilize the additive procedure that involves the use of successive material layers that are laid in arrangement such

The world population keeps growing, cities are becoming bigger. Right now we are living in the era of the information age; we are surrounded by thousands of devices, tons of people require more personalized services and devices at lower prices. The only way to catch up with these is through technology. In just a few years, driving a car would become a sport rather than using it as transportation. Companies would be able to provide their customers personalized products, that can really fit their needs

3D Printing Technology To anyone who hasn’t seen it demonstrated, 3-D printing sounds space-age, like the meals that turn up in the Jetson’s oven at the touch of a keypad. The technology is quite straightforward and is a small evolutionary step from spraying toner on paper to putting down layers of something more substantial (such as plastic resin) until the layers add up to an object. And yet, by enabling a machine to produce objects of any shape, on the spot and as needed, 3-D printing

major expanding technologies; mobile phones and 3D printing. 1.1. Introduction to 3D printing Three dimensional printing â_œemploys an additive manufacturing process whereby products are built on a layer-by-layer basis, through a series of cross-sectional slicesâ__ (Berman, 2012, para.2). 3D printing is compromised of various other technologies and the commonly used software is the Computer aided design also known as CAD. 3D printing is a developing concept that is yet to bring
