The latest technology of 3d printing is finding applications in almost every sector. 3d printing is easy, less time-consuming, customized, and above all cost-effectiveness is gradually replacing the traditional methods of manufacturing. Plastic is the most versatile material and is effectively being used in 3d printing.
3D Incredible with the state-of-the-art technology at Pune is making remarkable innovations in plastic 3d printing. It offers various kinds of products in the engineering field.
Here, in this blog let’s have an overview of how the latest innovations of plastic 3d printing are revolutionizing the manufacturing industry.
Plastic is a versatile material in 3d printing!
Plastic was one of the first materials that were used in 3d printing since the technology came into existence in the 1980s. Plastic is a firm, flexible, smooth material that is available in a wide range of colors. Moreover, it is light-weighted and affordable. Items in various shapes and consistencies are made from 3d printers using plastic as raw materials. These items can be flat, round, grooved, or meshed. Because of its versatility, plastic is one of the most common raw materials used in 3d printing.
3d printing using plastic: innovative examples
The latest technology of 3d printing using plastic is used by companies to produce speedy designs, development, and production. Let’s see the top 5 innovative applications of plastic 3d printing.
Automobile industry
3d printed technology is utilized in making many parts for the automobile industry. Customized seats in the sports car from the luxury automaker – Porsche is the latest addition. The central seat and the backrest cushion section of these cars use 3d printing and lattice designs made from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), a kind of soft, rubber-like plastic. It’s a flexible material that is used to make customized seats of different firmness – hard, medium, and soft.
In developing safe helmets
Helmets are essential while riding a bike or cycling or using high-speed sports cars on tracks. It protects your skull from mishaps. Helmets that fit your skull provide you with maximum safety. So, customized 3d printed helmets are introduced: all skulls are not of the same measurement. These custom-fit helmets are made with the help of 3d printing and 3d scanning methods. Tough nylon helmets are better than foam-based helmets as the honeycomb structure of these new helmets dissipates energy to a larger area and thus prevents serious injuries.
Ride with 3d printed saddles
Next to helmet, saddle for cycles is another amazing innovation in the 3d printing industry. A comfortable saddle is paramount to cyclists. But we have yet to discover a saddle that provides a balance between comfort and performance while cycling. Thanks to the innovative technique of 3d printing that could enable our cyclists to perform better. 3d printing with intelligent design and pressure mapping helps to give various comfort zones in the saddle. Cyclists can now improve their riding experience and performance with the help of an improved saddle.
3D printed swabs for COVID-19 test kits
COVID-19 created havoc all over the world. Early diagnosis and tracking of the epidemic too made the situation worse due to the insufficient number of testing kits. The main issue with the testing kits was due to the long nasal swabs and chemicals that were needed to process them. Resin a certified biocompatible material is used in the production of 3d printed long nasal swabs. These 3d printed swabs have proved to be a boon during the COVID-19 crisis. These are quickly produced and are available at a cheap rate. Thus they accelerated the testing of the COVID virus with greater accuracy.
3D printed toys
Today, many kids-friendly toys are available in the market that is manufactured using 3d printing techniques. Plastic toys for toddlers are being very popular due to their soft and flexible texture. Apart from these, many 3d fidget toys including cubes, gears, and spinners are replacing the traditional forms. Toy guns, cars, trucks, robots, and many others are manufactured using 3d printing technology. Besides, 3d printing is also used in the production of toy parts like wheels, limbs, etc. that can be used if those parts are broken or lost. Thus, now with 3d printed toy parts, toys may not be thrown merely because some parts are lost or broken.
Plastic 3d printing is thus being used in many industries. Industries like textile and furniture are also trying to adopt 3d printing techniques with not so very positive results. But a time would come when plastic 3d printing would compete with the traditional methods in the textile and furniture industry as well.
