Why 3-D Printing Machines Are Poised To Evolve The Production Industry

By Antone Akiyama


3D printers are currently a buzz worthy subject, due to their ability to create viable products from mere digital designs. These can be used to produce everything from specialized tennis shoes to various forms of weaponry. This equipment is currently being called the start of a manufacturing revolution.

A technical student surprised the world by being able to design and print a fully functioning gun from plastic. The resulting product was able to fire a bullet at sufficient speeds for causing physical harm to anything that lay in its path. This was an exciting development and one that also raised a lot of important questions concerning the regulation of these products.

The full capabilities of this printing technology is a cause of major concern because there is not much legislation surrounding the use of this equipment. These have also helped to introduce the world to a technology that almost seems too fantastical to be true. Many commercial organizations are working hard to secure these machines. Technology such as this has the power to enhance their operations quite a bit.

It actually costs quite a bit to get an average model, which is why these are unattainable to most consumers. People who have enough money, however, will have no problem scoring one on the consumer market. Due to this fact, those who own they can produce unlimited objects. A lot of people are using them for pure experimental fun while many entrepreneurs are using them to start highly profitable businesses.

There are even artists who are using this equipment to produce three dimensional displays. This is a popular new form of art in many countries. Due to the slower than average production process, however, larger creations must be build in stages and then later displayed as one piece.

Companies will have the ability to offer fully customized products to their clients. In fact, a number of businesses already are. Some shoes stores are now enabling customers to come in create their own custom tennis shoes. Although the resulting product will bear the logo of the brand, the client will have full charge in terms of deciding which features and design options to include.

The design possibilities with 3D printers are nearly limitless. The only current drawbacks are the costs of these tools and the speed at which the produce completed projects. These are things that are certain to change as this equipment is further honed and improved upon. As more people invest in this type of printing equipment, however, it will be necessary for lawmakers to start regulating which items can be freely produced by private consumers and which cannot.
