  1. A Step into the Unthinkable Three-Dimensional Printing By Joe Logsdon

  2. How Technology is Advancing • Communication with others is depending more and more on technology • IPhones and Androids

  3. What is Three-Dimensional Printing? • Defined as: “the making of parts and products using a computer-driven, additive process, one layer at a time.” • Subtractive vs. Additive

  5. The Individual vs. the Company

  6. The Individual vs. the Company

  7. The Makerbot Replicator 2 • Why makes the Replicator 2 stand out among the crowd? • resolution capability of 100 microns • 410 cubic inch build volume • relatively small body • MakerWare • Thingiverse.com

  8. Thingiverse.com • Created by MakerBot Industries so users could share their creations with the world www.thingiverse.com

  9. Dollars and Cents • $2199 price tag • $48 PLA filament • Equation: 2199 + 48x + 61y + 13z – (a little satisfaction) = WY 2 MCH $

  10. Comparison Chart http://www.additive3d.com/3dpr_cht.htm

  11. Future of Three-Dimensional Printing • It is unknown how much wear and tear the PLA filament can handle • The year long buzz

  12. Summing Up the Pieces • Hubs or workstations would be much more economically efficient • Hefty price tag
