Begin with talking about what the case study is going to talk about (3D
Printing, it's capabilities, limitations and potential)
Outline overall process (Design -> 3D Model -> Refinement for 3D Print)
The basis of 3D printing is as follows : (Explain how 3D printing works
briefly)
Go onto talking about the implications of the basis of 3D Printing (Quick
enough evolution of this kind of technology could revolutionize a wide
range of industries if affordable and efficient)
If the exponential growth curve lines up with the advancements made in 3D
Printing (Began 1983~) then we could potentially be nearing a point where
growth of 3D printing reaches its peak, could 3D printing evolve? What new
'Printing' or methods of creating 3D objects are up and coming? Explore
alternatives to 3D Printing/Manufacturing
Explain the design implications from 3D Printing
Notes 2:
Second section goes on to talk about the main uses of 3D Printing as of now
and how the areas are expanding.
Mention 3D Scanning and its benefit.
Go on to talk about the observable capabilities of 3D Printing, such as its
capability to replace several manufacturing methods all together. As shown
throughout recent years in some fields.
Talk about how 3D Printing is assisting the manufacturing process of
aerospace components by providing cheaper, quicker and more lightweight
products than previous methods. (EOS Aerospace) Provide evidence through
the 3 case studies** on its application to the production process.
Notes 3:
Go on to talk about the main, most basic limitations 3D printing currently has,
I.E not a casual consumer-friendly price, faster printers are much more
expensive, mention the multiple types of 3D printing (Liquid based printing
methods vs standard additive 3D Printing methods (SLS&FDM vs SLA)*
(Section on it in section 4~)
