Microscope is such a thing that can amplify tiniest objects thousands of millions of time which can’t be seen with the bare eyes. But the very interesting thing is, now you can turn your smartphone into a 1000x microscope. And for that what you need? Just a 3D printer!
3D-printed things are being expanded to all the sectors day by day. Doctors as well as hospitals have started using 3D-printed things for treatment. Now it’s been saying that neurosurgeons of the world may use 3D-printed brain replicas to save children in the near future.
Technology is bringing the big things into small ones. Now a days, while most of the wind turbines are getting bigger, scientists at Poland-based company Omni3D, have made AirEnergy3D, a new 3D printed wind turbine that can fold into your backpack and charge your laptop.
Space agency NASA has created a 3D printer in collaboration with Mountain View, California-based company Made in Space Inc. This 3D printer has the size of a small microwave and is mainly designed as a proof of concept to see if printing in zero gravity can create objects that are as accurate and as strong as those produced by a printer on Earth.
Birds often pose a real threat to the aviation industry as they get stuck in airplane engines and raise serious issues. So, a Netherlands based company has created 3D printed robotic birds that will scare away real birds from danger. These robotic birds will be controlled via a remote control and now are being tested.
Since the 3D printing things have shown a great success in most of the cases, doctors as well as hospitals have already inclined to use this technology in with patients. Lately, we have come to know that Beijing Hospital has done the world’s first 3D printed vertebra surgery to a 12-year-old boy in China.
3D printers are becoming very much popular. Every 3D printers, now-a-days, equip new parts and they create some superb 3D models. But, Yvo de Haas has created Plan B, an open source 3D printer that lets people print solid plastic objects by binding a thin layer of plastic powder with an old printer head.
3D printers are now becoming common. In fact, they are becoming a great helpful to us. But not all the 3D printers run on the same OS and there are some 3D printers that are quite complex to run. Hence, many people become disinterested using them. But lately, engineers have built 3DPrinterOS, the world’s first open 3D Printing OS that is able to rule all other 3D printers.
