3D Printing 27 August 2019 ******** Thematic Research: Technology GDTMT-TR-S222 3D Printing 27 August 2019 Has 3D printing come of age? 3D printing is in its mid-thirties and is now approaching market growth that Inside Chuck Hull could only have dreamt about when he invented it in 1983. Players . Technology briefing By 2025, 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, will be a $32bn industry, rising . Trends to over $60bn by 2030. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between . Industry analysis 2018 and 2025 will be 16%, according to GlobalData estimates, with software . Value chain growing slightly faster than hardware, materials and services. Disruptive impact Yet behind the optimism, competition and casualties are increasing: UK . Companies powder maker Metalysis recently went into administration before being . Who’s who in 3DP rescued by Power Resources, a mining company; SLM Solutions, a German . Glossary manufacturer of 3D metal printers, had a poor first half of 2019, selling a third of the machines it sold in the first half of 2018 with revenues down 45%; and Organovo is considering its strategic options after biological performance issues with its 3D-printed liver tissues. 3D printing has always been most closely associated with prototyping and short production runs. But now it is becoming a key part of the manufacturing mix alongside injection molding and computer numerical control machining. The use of polymers – particularly plastics – in 3D printing still exceeds metals, but the gap is narrowing, and metals could outstrip polymers from 2021. Healthcare is a strong adopter, with applications from medical training to the operating table. Great Ormond Street Hospital’s use of 3D printed models for an operation to separate twins joined at the head has increased awareness. The industry’s growth has led to chemicals giants like BASF and Henkel driving the creation of new materials. 4D printing – where 3D printed objects transform their shape in response to an external stimulus, such as heat or moisture – also offers potential. Who are the leading 3D printing companies? We split the 3D printing value chain into four segments: hardware, materials, software and services. Below, we highlight some of the leading companies in each of these segments: . Hardware: Desktop Metal, GE Additive, Markforged, EOS, HP, 3D Systems, Ultimaker, EnvisionTEC, Stratasys . Materials: BASF, Henkel, GKN, Sandvik, Solvay, Höganäs . Software: Siemens, Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, Materialise, PTC Report type . Single theme . Services: Optomec, GE Additive, Shapeways, Siemens, Sculpteo . Multi-theme . Sector Scorecard Which industries are at risk of disruption? Our research shows that the industries at most risk of disruption over the next five years include aerospace, healthcare, consumer goods, and construction.

[email protected]; [email protected] Highlights: • A survey of relevant features from eight institutional and eleven commercial online 3D repositories in the scholarly field of 3D digital heritage. • Presents a critical review of their hosting services and 3D model viewer features. • Proposes six features to enhance services of 3D repositories to support the GLAM sector, heritage scholars and heritage communities. Abstract: Despite the increasing number of three-dimensional (3D) model portals and online repositories catering for digital heritage scholars, students and interested members of the general public, there are very few recent academic publications that offer a critical analysis when reviewing the relative potential of these portals and online repositories. Solid reviews of the features and functions they offer are insufficient; there is also a lack of explanations as to how these assets and their related functionality can further the digital heritage (and virtual heritage) field, and help in the preservation, maintenance, and promotion of real-world 3D heritage sites and assets. What features do they offer? How could their feature list better cater for the needs of the GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) sector? This article’s priority is to examine the useful features of 8 institutional and 11 commercial repositories designed specifically to host 3D digital models.

  • 3D Printing: Hype Or Game Changer?
    3D printing: hype or game changer? A Global EY Report 2019 What is additive manufacturing? Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing (3DP), is a digital manufacturing process that involves slicing three-dimensional digital designs into layers and then producing additively, layer by layer, using AM systems and various materials. Table of contents 04 Foreword 05 Key findings 06 About this study 08 3DP moves into the operational mainstream 14 From the lab to the shop window: AM serial production takes off 22 Choosing the right 3DP operating model 28 Growing up with AM 32 How AM can give businesses a competitive edge 36 The evolution of 3DP technologies and materials 40 What holds companies back from adopting 3DP? 44 AM trends, developments and challenges 50 M&A activity in the 3DP market 58 What’s next for AM? 60 How EY teams support companies on their 3DP journey 63 Authors 3D printing: hype or game changer? A Global EY Report 2019 | 3 Foreword In the three years since EY published first 3DP report, additive manufacturing (AM) has grown up. The technology has attracted such exposure that almost two- thirds (65%) of the businesses we surveyed this year have now tried the technology — up from 24% in 2016. Any early skepticism that predictions of 3DP’s transformative potential were just hype have been laid to rest. AM has joined the armory of production technologies, with 18% of companies already using it to make end- use products for customers and consumers. This means that the crucial “early majority” — whose buy-in is essential to the success of any new technology — have been won over.

O’Sullivan a,* a School of Design, Confirm Smart Manufacturing Centre and Health Research Institute, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland b School of Design, University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitates product personalization and iterative design, which makes it an ideal 3D printing technology for ergonomic product development. In this study, a systematic review was conducted of the liter­ Additive manufacturing ature regarding the use of AM in ergonomic-product design, and methodological aspects of the studies were Ergonomics analyzed. A literature search was performed using the keywords “3D print*,” “additive manufacturing,” “ergo­ Human factors nomic*” and “human factors”. Included were studies reporting the use of AM specificallyin ergonomic design of products/prototypes including the detailing of an ergonomic testing methodology used for evaluation. Forty studies were identified pertaining to the fields of medicine, assistive technology, wearable technology, hand tools, testing devices and others. The most commonly used technology was fused deposition modeling with polylactic acid, but the overall preferred material was acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. Various combinations of objective/subjective and qualitative/quantitative product evaluation methods were used. Based on the findings, recommendations were developed to facilitate the choice of most suitable AM technologies and materials for specific applications in ergonomics. 1.

  • 3D Printing: Jewelry Basics
    3D PRINTING: JEWELRY BASICS 125 S. Prospect Avenue, Elmhurst, IL 60126 (630) 279-8696 ● elmhurstpubliclibrary.org Create, Make, and Build WHAT IS 3D PRINTING? What is 3D Printing? A 3D printer works essentially like a traditional printer except it prints in plastic (or other material) layers to make 3-dimensional designs. 3D printers can print in several different materials including plastic, metal, wood, ceramics, limestone and even chocolate. Elmhurst Public Library uses a MakerBot 5th Generation Replicator which uses a PLA filament: a corn-based plastic. 3D printing has been around since as early as the 1990’s but has exploded in popularity due to technology advances and lowered costs. Although many 3D printers themselves can cost thousands of dollars, the materials are relatively inexpensive after the initial purchase. Ours cost about $2, 900 each. Why 3D print? Many different types of people use 3D printers for different things. Several news stories have covered incredible 3D printing projects like parents creating prosthesis for their children or the development of 3D printed cars, but there are plenty of uses for everyone. Some reasons you may use a 3D printer include: Replacing a broken cabinet handle Making fun gifts Printing the case for a prototype electronic component And maybe most importantly learning to use 3D printing software is a valuable skill Where To Find 3D Jewelry Files to Download Shapeways - will custom print designs in different materials for you.
