3D Printing Technology - Assignment PDF_1
Running head: 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY 2Executive SummaryManufacturing and prototyping in industrial, military as well as medical market sectors are increasing their use of 3D printing. 3D printing involves the process of making materials from 3D model data by joining materials. We shall consider different types of applications of 3Dprinting in manufacturing and medical industries. In the medical sector, advanced computer design has made it possible to translate images such as X-rays, computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or ultrasound to digital models that can be read by 3D printers. 3D applications have enhanced the health sector enabling doctors, dentists and surgeons to investigate any surgical procedure at hand and visualize it so that any challenges are identified and handled beforehand. On the other hand, the manufacturing sector has greatly and quickly embraced 3D printing with some renown figures in the manufacturing industry like Kirk Rogers of GE Center for Additive Technology in Pittsburgh believing that we are in the midst of additive manufacturing. Some examples of how 3D printing is being used today include; casting molds, Prototype parts for productions, Dishwasher components and ATP Engine as highlighted by Barnatt (2013). 3D printing is coming up strongly and has found wide adoption as explained above. It minimizes time for production, brings in low consumption and wastage, added flexibility and even in the long run reduced costs. Adopting 3D printing will help our company adapt and make exceptional profits in this new era.Table of ContentsExecutive Summary.....................................................................................................................................2

3D Printing Technology - Assignment PDF_3
Running head: 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY 4INTRODUCTIONSonix computers and printers is a manufacturing company that deals makes computers and printers. It was established in the year 2007. Our production and supply has tremendously grown over the years. Our profits have been increasing but over the past few years our competitors have given us a hard time in our market share making our profits to be stagnant. Also our demand does not satisfy our supply. Since we are expanding our branches we need a solution to take us to the next level that is 3D printing technology. 3D printing uses digital file to make three dimensional objects (joining or solidifying material under computer control). This is achieved by using binding material in a powder bed then the inkjet printer starts heading layer by layer. For by it being a disruptive technology, it is making life easier by inventing things or products that will improve a business continuity or bettering and individual’s life by for example producing artificial limbs or even a body organ. AIMTo increase our profit margin and to give us a competitive advantage which will lead us to among the best computer and printer manufacturers.OBJECTIVES1.Provision of high standard quality of computers and printers.2.To expand the business by starting to manufacture smart phones that will also give us variety of products to our consumers.3.To manufacture more merchandise to prevent our online customers from lacking the goods.4.To maintain and attract more clients.USES OF 3D PRINTING3D printing technology is used in three ways; modelling, printing and finally finishing.
