3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, allows objects to be designed on a computer and then printed into physical form through various printing processes. It offers advantages over traditional manufacturing like reduced costs, less waste, and the ability to produce complex objects. 3D printing has applications in many fields from engineering and manufacturing to medicine, where it is being used to print human cartilage and eventually organs. While it provides opportunities, it also poses challenges like potentially disrupting jobs and enabling the printing of untraceable firearms. Overall, 3D printing is an innovative technology that is transforming multiple industries and opening up new possibilities.

Have you ever heard about a machine that converts designs
from computer to real objects? New technologies make this machine possible through 3-D printing, which also called additive manufacturing. 3-D printing could be an amazing invention, which applies to many fields, and provide high performance. 3-D printing has growing impact on the world, because people are able to design and print three dimensional objects. Furthermore, it can produce parts of different materials to make specific objects with full requirements. It opened many possibilities of printing new devices, so it is a fantastic machine to produce new technologies. 3-D printing can be used in building up objects that are useful for economies medical sectors, handguns, and circuits. Starting with 3D printing that causes alternative way of economy. As the writer mentioned in his article"Print me a Stradivarius", technologies may change economy and society by inventing 3D-printer.By pressing print, People design a shape in computers, then 3D printer turns it in a real object. In other words, by a few processes 3D printing has the ability to build objects. First, designing specific shapes in the computer; then by pressing print, the printer starts to make the designed shape; by selecting material such as plastic, resins, metal, and putting glue to build up real objects. According to the article"Print me a Stradivarius", 3D printer able to make several kinds of objects, and it considers into two parts: small items such as a desktop monitor, and big items like aircraft parts, bicycle frames, panels of cars. Moreover, the advantages of the 3D printer are: affords low cost, reduces waste, and allows the creation of parts in shapes. In the article Adding Our Way to Abundance Valkyrie Ice said There are many advantages that mass manufacturing has brought with it, such as the economies of scale which have enabled massive reductions in the cost of nearly everything. In the past people used 3D printer in prototyping for aerospace, medical sector, and automotive industries. That means, 3D printer used for manufacturing parts of objects, but nowadays it used for producing completed things. For engineering sectors, 3D printer allows users to exchange codes of designs with other engineers, and to collaborate with them to do business. In contrast, 3D printer might create obstacles for jobs. Another way, is medical sectors, 3D printer used to create implantable cartilage. As mentioned in the journal Biofabrication in the
article Cartilage made easy with novel hybrid printer 3D printer
contains from two main parts which are: a traditional ink jet printer and an electrospinning machine. In addition, these parts are used to build up structure made from natural and synthetic materials by scientist. As researchers find that Synthetic materials ensure the strength of the construct and natural gel materials provide an environment that promotes cell growth. Some studies show that hybrid system is more useful compared to an ink jet printer, because it allows to keep up a real-life system. The electrospinning machine used polymer solution to build up the fine fibers, also it allows the polymer to compose to produce porous structures. Therefore, many researches test this machine on the mice to see results, then they applied in a humans body, also they mentioned an MRI scan is a useful way in the future to treat injured patients. Valkyrie Ice mentioned in his article Adding Our Way to Abundance, the 3D printer or bio printer used to make organs from patients stem cells. Also, using stem cells to produce the needed organs.
The Wiki Weapons Project suggests to distribute a file online for
printing a three dimensional handgun at home. Distribute these kinds of files allow people to print their firearm at home for defense purposes. The main important point, people can do an interesting and uninteresting object by the 3D printer. As mentioned in the article, FYI: It Legal to 3D printer A Handgun? Experts find that distributing online files can be exciting. Many arguments said that firearm files should not be distributed, because of several reasons such as: it could not be productive or not useful. According to Clay Dillow in his article, FYI: It Legal to 3D printer A Handgun? The idea of making handgun is not legal, because it is not really accurate. In addition, the defense cant be achieved by using a 3D printer to create a firearm or other personal protection devices. Michael Weinberg believes that the online file is just information to learn how to produce the gun, so he encourages to distribute it. Thus, the expert cannot imagine the new world without technology such as 3D printer. 3D printer also used to print complex circuits. Ritesh Lakhkar is the writer of the article Liquid Metal Printing, and he is a research and development engineer. Lakhar included many points in his article, but his main and most detailed point is the electronics development of the Liquid Metal Printing. Dr. Jing Liu invented the liquid metal based on chip cooling technology. He tried to use the liquid metal technologies in different fields such as liquid metal 3D printing and
printed electronics. According to Dr. Liu manufacturing is the most
complex stage, and they are time, water, material and energy consuming; he used a method called conformable electronic connection for manufacturing electronics. Moreover, he thought about making the manufacturing quickly, so he utilized low melting point metal ink and the related flexible packaging material. These innovations of additive electronics fabrication are important for making new complex devices. There are many uses for the new technology, which are: people can use it in making electrical circuits such as LED, monitor the physiological information in the human body, and to manufacture personal electronics (2). The new technology is very useful because it saves the time and money for factories. Furthermore, the liquid printing metal can be used to print electrical circuits on paper, plastic, glass, rubber, cotton cloth and tree leaves. In my opinion the new technologies are always developing and the new inventions such as Liquid Metal Printing are very amazing, because it used to print complex electrical circuits with low cost. Besides, according to the article Liquid Metal Printing, the new technology are amazing for producing new devices, because they are simple and can be commercialized in an easy way. New technology such as this machine spread along vast area around the world. From my perspective, having an interesting personal machine such as the 3D printer, allows people to design and innovate new objects in their computers. Nowadays, making a real three dimension object able to change our world. 3D printer opened a new door in the world to have new applications, devices, material, and tools. Thus, the new 3D printer makes the whole object, just by pressing print, while other machines prints several parts of objects. So, 3D printer achieves what people hope to have in the future.
