3D Printing

3D Printing

            3D printing is a new way of printing that allows you to 3D print almost any object you can think of. 3D printing works by using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. 3D printing has become more affordable now and it has revolutionized the printing industry. 3D printing also has several practical uses like printing a model for a class that you couldn’t make, or printing a piece of plastic to fix a broken toy.

Strengths- Allows you to print almost anything from jaw implants to prosthetic limbs. You could 3D print medical models. You can print a prototype for a project.

Weaknesses- It’s expensive right now. You are limited to the size of 3D printing something. You have to create and enter blueprints into a program, which can get complicated.

Opportunities- It could print organs in the future to transplant into people. It could print a prosthetic limb or print an implant. You can 3D print skin onto burn victims. 

Threats- You can 3D print plastic weapons that can get past security at the airport undetected.
