Let’s look at some of the amazing gadgets this technology as given us.

3D-PRINTED BUILDINGS

With a growing number of people or an increase in the population of cities, the residence becomes a big problem not only for its people but also for the city governments.

Building apartments and houses call for expenses. The 3D-printed apartments are a great solution for the rising costs.


The very first 3D printed apartment was printed in the mid of the current decade by a Chinese company (CNet.com,2015).

CNet.com broke this news in January 2015.

The company printed a five-story apartment and an 1,100 square meter villa.

After looking at the finished villa and apartment, it is clear that the machines used to print the structure was very sizeable. The work was "much like how a baker might ice a cake," WinSun said.

3D-PRINTED JEWELLERY

We all know that females love jewelry, don’t they? Women may fall flat for diamonds, but if they want more stylish jewelry then their choice will be a more trendy and contemporary one.

Jewelry has moved far beyond the usual story of silver, precious stones and gold to become truly fashion-forward. In the 21stcentury, jewelry has moved to a new level: 3D printing.

An Amsterdam-based startup, Zazzy, allows anyone to design and customize their own 3D-printed jewelry. Not only you can purchase your very own self-designed one but they can also sell them too. The company launches a new marketplace that lets you sell your jewelry to others.

Zazzy plans to open a new platform, Zazzy.co. The company believes the new platform makes sense for artists, designers, marketers, tastemakers, bloggers, and many others. They can add to their own collections of branded merchandise.

Abour Zazzy

Gert Jan Spriensma, one of Distimo’s (acquired by App Annie) first employees, and Martijn van der Veen, a UCL grad, founded Zazzy.me in 2013.

More than 60,000 users have designed their own bracelets, necklaces and rings since the company founded. Its customers have created over 200,000 designs in total, since Zazzy debuted.

Designing Process

On the site, customers use simple tools to select their jewelry and materials (for example nylon, stainless steel, gold-plated shiny steel , matte black steel, etc.), then create their designs using icons and lettering.

Delivery

Most customers receive their products in two to three weeks, this is because Zazzy doesn’t actually do its own in-house printing, but works with multiple printeries around the world; namely exOne and Shapeways.

It is evident that Zazzy wants to play the role of middleman in between the customer and the 3D printer partners, but it’s doing so in an effort to simplify 3D printing for those who are unfamiliar with creating their own 3D files.

3D-PRINTED LAWNMOVER

I call this engineering at its best. Hans Fouche uses his self-made 3D Printer, named Cheetah, placed in his garage, to print some amazing home gadgets. He’s ‘printed’, say 3D printed, furniture, a vacuum cleaner, and this cool mover.

Fouche printed everything in the mover from wheels; handle and safety switch, \ to blade, and wheel shafts at home except for the motor, which he borrowed from an old mover. It took 9 hours & 5.6 kg of material to print all those stuff and cost only 162 Rand or $13.83 in USD.

3D-PRINTED CAMERA

‘Printed camera’! Yeah, you read it right. It’s an analog camera with everything printed but one, lens. You’ll have to purchase one and install using custom printed mount ring. It is part of an open-source project so; you can print your own.

SULSA DRONE

How far will technology take us? A 3D printed drone! Yup, this aircraft is made by researchers from Southampton University and is called SULSA (Southampton University Laser Sintered Aircraft). This aircraft is ‘all-printed’. Every component is printed with plastic except for the electronics. The drone does not have any screw to hold the parts which can assemble in just 10 minutes.

The aircraft is ‘noiseless’, means it’s silent, and can reach speed of 90 miles per hour. Moreover, the drone can stay afloat for 30 minutes. Preety cool!

Which of the above 3D-printed instruments did you liked the most??
