The most incredible objects created using the 3D-printing
Three-dimensional printing is able to radically change the quality of life. After all, with the help of 3D-printing already produced medicine, food, weapons, and even equipment for scientific research. "Times" considered, in what areas are already used 3D-printers.
Medicine
The US Administration FDA Food and Drug Administration recently has officially certified tablets, printed on 3D-printer. They are intended for the treatment of epileptic seizures and may be many times more effective than conventional drugs, as three-dimensional printing allows for individual selection of dosage and combination of active components. Tablet printed layer by layer, which reduces its size and increases in the speed of decomposition in the body.
Earlier, the United States and has been approved by the use of different prostheses, printed on 3D-printer, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient's body.
Thus, three-dimensional printing is already widely used in dentistry to create dental implants. And in the long term, according to some scientists, it is possible to print organs for transplantation.
While in China, doctors were able to save the life of a child suffering from hydrocephalus. For the six-month girl on the Internet collected funds have been printed in the form of titanium prostheses nets that were supposed to replace the child's own bone of the skull. Doctors believe that with the growth of the patient will acquire the elements titanium bone, and the girl is fully restored.
Food Industry
Company Modern Meadows is not ready to print organs for transplantation, but has already announced that close to creating delicious, healthy and "ethical" meat products in the 3D-printer. In the near future created by three-dimensional printing the meat may become a new phenomenon in the food market.
The technology in the future will abandon the slaughter, because it allows the construction of a variety of meat products with different characteristics of the basic meat proteins.
Skeptics reasonably point out that the main obstacle to 3D-meat can be no technical difficulties, and the reluctance of consumers to eat synthetic products.
Currently Modern Meadows is also working on a production line of biomaterials, such as skin.
Building
Danish startup introduced technology that could become the standard in the construction of the most complex designs. Company MX3D in September this year is going to print the pedestrian bridge over one of the canals in Amsterdam. Special metal must be reheated to 1500 ° C, and the main beam and the printing support structure, sliding along them on a movable base. According to the founders of start-up, the bridge - the first step towards the development of new construction technologies, which will later be used in the construction of high-rise buildings.
At the same time, China has been presented manufacturing technology houses 3D-printing method of construction waste, glass, steel and cement. Huge printer causes the material layer by layer, until the desired thickness of the wall will create. Such a method of construction that is worth much more expensive than the traditional method of construction of buildings, but the world has a growing demand for printed at home.
After printing this structure it requires only a day, and the waste products can be recycled again.
In the future, this method of construction allows to erect buildings quickly without creating noise and polluting the surrounding area.
