Boeing used 3D printing
The method of making the models hugely differs from that of earlier times. Those were days when people ha to prepare the models by themselves as there existed no appropriate technology. These models were made for representing the greater projects that were to be undertaken. Technology, now, has progressed much. Consequently, the required models can quite simply be formed with the help of 3D printing in a relatively short period. Precisely, this has been done by Boeing.
Talking more specifically, Boeing Immersive Development Team is making the models for the desired planes with 3D printing. This can also be called 3D photocopying. Whena layout of a desired design for plane is created on computer, which is done with one special kind of powder, the design is printed out in layers. The layers are placed one over another in stacks so to complete the model which is 3 dimensional. This is the technology that Boeing used for giving struture to the idea of jet plane.
Creating rapid prototypes holds key to creativity and employee productivity. Whether it is the engineers or the designers, creation of a model which they wish to give shape has now become simpler and convenient so that they can check the practicability of the objects before embarking on the projects. The company works admirably fast such that it minimizes the period to just an hour, following which the required model is complete. They can now evaluate the expected work delivery by the object.
This technology, therefore, saves the employees from spending immeasurable time on the projects that are useless. It must be mentioned that this 3D printing has more use than one. Other than creating models, 3D printing has much successfully done 3D prototyping for the production of the parts to replace those parts of the model that are troubling. All this is done without even a little delay. This technology helped out to come up with one solution for fixing the troubles for continuing productivity. They have done this not much ago on a production line. In accordance with Boeing, Zprint did the complete work and thus it can definitely be stated that Boeing earned back the money spent on it.
These prototypes can, however, be thought of as dull and boring, which is far from true. These could be designed for the inclusion of colors. When this prototype is made, the powder that remains over it is dusted off. Following this, a solution is poured on the model as this brings the color. You can thus not deny the advantages and uses of 3D printing.
