Printing the dream
We thought it’d be good to clear up what large format 3D printing services actually are and what they aren’t. Essentially, large format 3D printing services is a manufacturing process where a very large plastic object is made from a 3D digital file.
That’s it.
What it isn’t however is a lot of hocus-pocus computer magic where things are spontaneously printed just by typing it in. If you want to print a chair you have to put in the specific requirements and 3D measurements – not just type in the word “chair”.
Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s take a look at the future of large format 3D printing services and where it might likely take the human race.We thought it’d be good to clear up what large format 3D printing services actually are and what they aren’t. Essentially, large format 3D printing services is a manufacturing process where a very large plastic object is made from a 3D digital file.
To Mars
In 2020 there are many things affecting the survival of the human race from population increase to global warming and depletion of natural resources.
We need to look to the stars.
The closest place for humans to land and colonise effectively is Mars, but to do so scientists and engineers will need to rely on the efforts of large format 3D printing services. While we may have
the tools and materials needed to put up structures on Mars, the difference in environment will be a challenge.
Instead of sending workers to build things on Mars, it is far more practical and safer to have machines on Mars that will do the work for us. For example, let’s imagine that on Mars we needed to build a small car that could cope with Mar’s difficult terrain. We could send a digital file containing all the information about this car to a machine (or series of machines) on Mars to have this built using Mars-based large format 3D printing services.
Speed
Time is the one thing that we aren’t able to make any more of, so we must use it as diligently as we can – including with large format 3D printing services.
In the future we could see large format 3D printing services speeds increase by almost 100x which is exponentially fast. Think of it this way, we are already able to 3D print entire houses so imagine being able to 3D print an entire street in the same time!
This could solve so many housing issues and change the way we not only build houses but also how we live inside them. Large format 3D printing services would allow us to create angles that aren’t
currently able to be done by hand.
Food
Whether it’s for personal pleasure or for sustenance, human beings need food and large format 3D printing services could revolutionize this industry. One of the greatest contributors to global warming is the way meat is processed from live animals due to high methane gas, loss of biodiversity and fossil fuel emission
What if there was a way to change this?…
We could negate a lot of these harmful effects, if not eradicate them altogether, by switching to large format 3D printing services. Giving us food that is more ethically produced, healthy and even customized! Just think of having a steak personally cut to your liking or perhaps food with very specific ingredients.
This could be food for body builders with exact protein-to-fat ratios or modified food for those suffering with food allergies.
