[DLC-5] End of project

As a generalist engineer by passion, I had to find ways to learn. While doing so, I came to build myself around core beliefs. And one of them is “Errors make you great”. I often tell the persons I train / help that if they want to make me happy, they have to make...
The role of 3D printing in prototyping

The role of 3D printing in prototyping

The primary role of 3D printing has been in the context of prototyping before diversifying into other uses such as the hobby of particular. Now prototyping remains the main use of this tool. But why ? Financial gain The purchase of a 3D printer for a company will...

3D printing at the service of society: 3D homes

Housing is one of the primary needs of living beings. With a growing population, it is necessary to be able to allow everyone to obtain housing at lower cost. That’s why the authorities are investing in new technologies looking for opportunities to build quality...
What are the risks of using 3D printing?

What are the risks of using 3D printing?

There are different types of risks when using 3D printing, however these can be minimized by setting up prevention measures adapted to the use of such a tool. Chemical risks This type of risk depends on the materials and how they are treated when printing. This...
Soluble filaments: what implications?

Soluble filaments: what implications?

In appearance, the choice of a soluble filament seems ideal to overcome the constraints specific to the 3D printer, but it is not as simple ! First of all, the soluble filament is very expensive: using it as a support for a piece considerably increases the price of...

3D printing in everyday life: why?

3D printing in everyday life: why?

Everything ! This object, which seems a little complex at first, can be effective in many situations of everyday life, that’s why I am convinced that everyone can have a 3D printer at home. Some sites, such as thingiverse, are platforms on which everyone can...
