A rising New Technology
Treatment of Accident and trauma victims is often severely handicapped by widespread tissue damage and often organs have to be removed and limbs amputated. 3D printing technology provides the much needed respite for such patients. 3D printers will help to create new organs in future. It will also help to weave new tissues and bones.
One of the biggest advantages of 3D printers is that organic substances like collagen, sugars and proteins can be used to create the base of any organ and from there the body’s building system will take on. The most important use of the 3D technology in the future will be for making living skeletons of the human body. The human bone is a complex structure with its framework made up of inorganic compounds containing calcium and phosphorus. 3D printers can easily mimic the human bone using the inorganic phosphate and carbonate compounds of calcium. Once the framework is ready, it will be only some time before the tissues and blood vessels proliferate in the framework and soon the grafted bone is just like a piece of natural bone.
3D technology will also help to recreate missing artifacts or artifacts which have been destroyed by acts of war. The most prominent example is the Buddha statues in Afghanistan which was destroyed by the Taliban rulers. Scientists have obtained the old pictures of the statues and made a 3D image which will be used to recreate the statues.
3D printers will also be an integral part of the Mars mission since it will not be possible to carry spare parts in such a long journey. Therefore the best option is to recreate the faulty part, using 3D printers and replace them in a jiffy. The food industry will also see a sea change and already 3D printing technology is making its presence felt. 3D technology is being used to create fancy shapes and designs and cakes. 3D food printers can easily use food materials to create cookies of fancy designs and shapes.
One factor which has hampered the use of 3D printing technology was the prohibitive cost of the 3D printer. However with the lowering of prices, the 3D printing technology has been finding large acceptance in the industry, especially the manufacturing sector. The creation of a working prototype is one of the most cost intensive parts of any manufacturing process. If the prototype fails, it will lead to considerable loss of money since the new prototype has to be re designed from the scratch. 3D technology will help to create another prototype within a short period. All it will require is a new digital design in virtual reality and the next and improved prototype will be ready in a jiffy.
Since 2001 EMS has grown to become one of the premier providers of 3D scanners, product design and rapid prototyping services, 3D scanning and 3D printing services. With almost a decade of experience in providing high quality service and products, we have helped clients across a variety of industries build and manage their ideas and bring them to life. EMS is based in Tampa, FL and has offices in Atlanta, GA and Detroit, MI.
