3D PRINTING HELPS IN MAKING SUNGLASSES

                     3D PRINTING HELPS IN MAKING SUN GLASSES        
                     
 SODA CONCEPT  is a startup founded by Carlo Marchisio, a young italian designer. Italy is currently home to the biggest sunglasses manufacturer in the world, the Luxottica Group owning both Ray Ban and Oakley, so it would just make sense that next generation of (3D printed) sunglasses would come from here.

“It all started when I bought a MakerBot Replicator last January – says Marchisio – I knew how to 3D model but was not yet familiar with giving a physical shape to my models. As soon as I got the hang of it I tried to find an end-use product that I could make with my MakerBot Replicator, something beyond prototypes and toys, something useful that could be used every day”.

Material experimentation is not limited to resins. Marchisio has also been using Proto pasta's carbon fiber reinforced filament and now intends to try out the new makerbot. He is also working on an augmented reality app that will let potential customers try on the different frames and colours before purchasing them.In the end, given the availability of ABS and PLA materials and the plate size, Marchisio settled on sunglasses. He pushed the limits of his MakerBot to come up with four different highly customizable frames, with interchangeable lenses and arms.

“I created four types of frames with arms and lenses that can simply snap on, without requiring the use of any metal component. This allows users to change the farm colour, replace any broken part easily and even move on to a new, more fashionable, frame design without having to buy new lenses.

                 
                          3D PRINTING PUSHES MEDICAL BOUNDARIES


    Queensland students are set be at the forefront of using 3D printing to create human body parts, with a world-first course to be offered in Brisbane.

The international masters degree in biofabrication will be jointly offered by the Queensland University of Technology, the University of Wollongong, the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands and the University of Würzburg in Germany.

QUT Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation biofabrication research leader Dietmar W Hutmacher said the applications of 3D technology could eventually end the need for organ donations.

              

                    

 

   WOW!!! NOW 3D PRINTERS  IN CLASSROOM

It is evident that 3D Printing has a place in the classroom and will continue to have a significant impact in education. The question one needs to ask, is how does one determine which printer is best suited to learning and teaching. As with any piece of technology, it is important to consider the ease of setup and operation, reliability and product support.

When children use 3D Printers, they have a mindset for better learning, one where it was okay to make mistakes. This contributes to their boldness for design, increasing their confidence and imagination. Our world changes at such a rapid pace, more than it has in the past. Being able to learn from their mistakes will be invaluable going into their futures, where the jobs that they will do, don’t even exist today.
