Week 5: 3D printed model of an unborn child (A picture a day)



3d Printer

3D printed model of an unborn child

The first image i've chosen is an example of a 3D Eiffel Tower model created using blueprints on a computer and printed using a 3D printer. I believe that 3D printers will revolutionize manufacturing and many other industries. 3D printing is the construction of three dimensional solid objects from a digital model. An object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D technology is used in many fields such as jewelery, education and many other industries. 

This second image shows a 3D printed model of an unborn child. There is a company in Japan that takes 3D ultrasound to a whole new level. This product is called "Shape of an Angel". This 3D printed unborn foetus can be created using the model from the 3D ultrasound. I am very surprised how much this 3D printer can do to enrich our lives. There are endless possibilities and boundless opportunities for people to make use of from 3D printers. I hope that one day I can have the chance to try and create my own design using 3D printers.
