L'impact de l'impression 3D sur les chaînes d'approvisionnement - INFOGRAPHIC Whilst modest at present, 3D printing has the potential to transform certain parts of manufacturing, and supply chains, over the longer term. In addition, instead of taking place in bespoke factories, 3D printing will create demand for smaller and more standard premises, opening up opportunities for developers and investors. A traditional supply chain: Products are mass produced (e,g. in China) Manufactured goods are ‘pushed out’ and distributed through warehouse network to customers Long lead time High transport costs Large carbon footprint A 3D printing supply chain: Customised production ‘Pulled’ by end customer demand Locally printed and distributed Short lead time Low transport costs Low carbon footprint
Markus Kayser Builds a Solar-Powered 3D Printer that Prints Glass from Sand and a Sun-Powered Cutter Industrial designer and tinkerer Markus Kayser spent the better part of a year building and experimenting with two fantastic devices that harness the sun’s power in some of the world’s harshest climates. The first he calls a Sun Cutter, a low-tech light cutter that uses a large ball lens to focus the sun’s rays onto a surface that’s moved by a cam-guided system. As the surface moves under the magnified light it cuts 2D components like a laser. Next, Kayser began to examine the process of 3D printing. In mid-May the Solar Sinter was tested for a two week period in the deserts of Siwa, Egypt, resulting in the amazing footage above.
Deezmaker L’impression 3D, l’industrie prend une nouvelle dimension Une nouvelle technologie est une opportunité pour les entreprises de s'insérer dans un marché, ou de relancer des ventes parfois en perte de vitesse. L'arrivée de la 3D sur les téléviseurs, même si elle n'a pas incarné la révolution espérée, en est un parfait exemple. Mais de l'avis de certains scientifiques, analystes ou investisseurs, l'impression 3D ne semble pas être une simple innovation au service d'un marché existant, et constituerait une technologie de rupture qui pourrait tout simplement chambouler l'industrie telle que nous la connaissons actuellement, tout autant que nos habitudes de consommation. L'une des caractéristiques d'une technologie de rupture, c'est souvent qu'on ne la voit pas arriver, ou qu'on en sous-estime la portée. En cela, l'impression 3D a tout de ce genre d'innovation. L'impression 3D, nouvelle révolution industrielle ou simple évolution technologique ? Note : ce dossier intervient à un moment où le sujet de l'impression 3D est particulièrement vivace.

L'impression 3D - Wikipedia, l'encyclopédie libre An ORDbot Quantum 3D printer. 3D printing or additive manufacturing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.[2] 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques, which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes). A 3D printer is a limited type of industrial robot that is capable of carrying out an additive process under computer control. The 3D printing technology is used for both prototyping and distributed manufacturing with applications in architecture, construction (AEC), industrial design, automotive, aerospace, military, engineering, dental and medical industries, biotech (human tissue replacement), fashion, footwear, jewelry, eyewear, education, geographic information systems, food, and many other fields.
