We know the phenomenon primarily of science fiction series like Star Trek (' Tea. Earl Grey. Hot '), but slowly starts to become the reality: devices that ' from nothing ' objects, you can produce with two hands can grab: 3D printers. Brand new is the technology certainly not: there is already more than 20 years of research to done. What is new, however, that 3D printers slowly on a price level, they're for smaller companies and consumers somewhat affordable. Great opportunity that having a 3D printer over a year or 10 is just as usual as now having a normal instance. That offers many new features, although some industries also see as a threat.
Layer-by-layer
There are already many companies engaged in the development of 3D printers. Whom a beautiful amount on the bank account, has even already ample choice of purchasing devices. In the basic works that are all in the same way. The starting point is a 3D drawing of a product on the computer. Such a design can in dozens of programs, from expensive packages like 3DStudioMax to free software as Google Sketchup. Before a 3D printer can get started, the 3D model must first be processed in layers. In fact the product is virtual in hundreds or thousands of sliced thin, horizontal. The 3D printer will object then also from bottom to top, layer by layer going to build. In the latest generation are the layers around 0.1 mm thick, which indicates that the resolution of created objects is quite pretty. For an object of 10 centimeters high, a 3D printer in such a case so 1000 layers produce. All layers are processed, then the object is ready and you can grab it from the printer.
