Digital applications
The Title of this article is a 3D
printer created this shoe. This was
broadcasted on CNN TV. This article is based around the technology the 20th
century is bringing us. For quite some time
now we have been printing out documents and such in a 2d form. Words or pictures printed out onto a flat piece
of paper. Now, we are beginning to see
3D art that can be more or less printed.
This printer uses a certain kind of material to create these
objects. The printer operates side to side
like any other printer does but builds these objects level by level meticulously
placing the material exactly where it needs to go. It’s a confusing thought to grasp but this is
where technology is bringing us. In the
video they actually printed a 3D version of the TV host on CNN. They took a picture of her using a phone
application and digitally created a 3d version of her head, with absolute
detail. This has actually been around
longer than people think it just has been used in high tech labs and such. Now, they are attempting to bring it to
homes. The price is a little steep but
for 1300 dollars you can own a 3D printer.
I think this is a great idea. It
gives people a way to execute their ideas and imagination. I think it’s a awesome
device that can be entertaining as well as useful. They were also creating things like usable
shoes, little 3D logos, as well as bobble heads. If I had a chance to use one of these I think
I would make a soccer ball.
