Hey guys welcome back to my blog! Hope everyone found the last one interesting. In today’s blog we will be looking over how 3-D printing has improved dramatically over the past decade. Originally it was created back in 1983 by a man called Charles Hull. Over time like every other piece of technology , it has proved to have endless potential and has prevailed into something incredible. Most recently a new technique of 3D printing was created. Its called multi material multinozzel 3-D printing. It uses high speed pressure valves to achieve rapid, continuous ,seamless switching between up to 8 different materials. Enabling the creation of complex shapes with speeds in a fraction of the time currently required using print-heads that range from a single nozzle to large multinozzel arrays.
We are at a point in history where we can design our own house using 3d printing technology. That is exactly what two architects have done, designing the first 3D printed house which is just bordering Bologna, Italy. Which in fact also happens to have entirely built the structure entirely from reusable, recyclable materials taken from the local terrain. With climate change and the demand on reversing the damage we have done to earth this could be the next step in preventing any further damage to our planet
TECLA is printed with clay harvested at the build site. The design allows natural light to pour in during the day, reducing reliance on grid and solar power.
In case you still are not impressed with how far this technology has become, the first unmanned aircraft has been flown , a car with a 3D-printed body that’s built to get 200 mpg on the freeway has been created.To top it off if you wanted you could go and buy your spouse a 3D printed gold or silver engagement ring.
It is definitely one of the defining technologies of this decade and i’m sure it will remain that way for several more! Thank you guys for reading. Until next time.
