3D printing is a technology that is here to stay. It is regarded as the future of manufacturing and print and is expected to drastically change how products are bought and produced in the future. Research carried out by experts has seen a number of breakthroughs being achieved that includes 3D kidney that was made in 2002 by Wake Forest Institute.
Beyond the engineering and professional circles, affordable devices have been released into the consumer market. These products have enough power to produce small 3D printed objects. Those looking for bigger machines for larger objects can buy 3D printers like The Buccaneer.
To get a glimpse of the immense power of 3D printing, let’s sample some of the best 3D printed productss from the year 2013.
Google glasses
Sunny Gao, a Chinese businessman printed a fully working pair of Google Glasses at a hackathon event in Shangai. The 3D version regrettably didn’t sport Bluetooth or Wi-Fi support unlike the original but they appeared unbelievably similar.
Race Car
The first race car created using 3D printed parts was delivered by students at Changsha University of science and Technology in China. The race car that uses a Honda 600CC motorcycle engine that can run at speeds of 150km per hour (95mph) was the work of a group of 40 students.
Robotic Prosthetic
Easton LaChappelle, a high school student from Colorado, created a functional prosthetic arm and hand using free online tools for 3D printers.
Water bottle vases
This one makes use of old water bottles to create a 3D printed model of a larger vase.
Infinite sisu
This beautiful creation by Finnish designer Saad Allayoubi also serves as a good stand for your Ipad and is a work of art too. Symbolizing the Greek legend Atlas, it’s not only remarkable but can perfectly hold your Ipad at a comfortable viewing angle.
Acoustic guitar
An acoustic guitar, that’s 3D printed was created by Bespoke Innovations. You may ask, why print a guitar? The availability of exotic wood is shrinking and so instrument manufacturers will have to look for alternative materials.
Minimalist mechanical clock
Andy Hudson Smith and team from University College London developed a blog that discussed the design and construction process of building a 3D printed mechanized clock. The team printed the clock parts including cogs and connectors using the MakerBot 2.
Hand cranked power generator
If you are on the road and you need to keep your batteries charged, the hand cranked power generator may be just what you need. The rotor rotates up to 4000rpms and can produce up to 40 volts with no load; enough to charge the small electronic gadgets we carry around daily.
