My capstone project will discuss the growth of 3D printing in the last decade both as a cultural phenomenon and as a new tool used in design and manufacturing. In my infographic, I’ll go over the different types of 3D printing and the fundamentals behind them.
3D printing typically begins with a digital 3D model, which is then uploaded to a 3D printer. The 3D printer interprets the model and lays down material one layer at a time until a full 3-dimensional part is completed.
The two types of media I will be using include an infographic and a video. The infographic will briefly cover the mechanics and principles behind how 3D printing works, the advantages, the challenges, and so forth. The video will explore how 3D printing is being applied in the world today by companies and by individuals.
Individuals can 3D print customized, low production models of anything they want. https://t.co/prtDoKToCw
