Yesterday, in part 1 (of this 5+ part update), I reviewed how new software and printers will make 3D printing available at home and in the office. Places like Staples will make it possible for more complicated designs to be produced, as well. Which means it’s time to sit back, grab a glass of wine (or two or three) and consider what all this technology is going to do to our companies.

I’ve been remiss keeping you apprised of the developments in 3D Printing. As, I wrote last Wednesday, when I reported about the pop-up shop in Baltimore. And, as I repeatedly have said, 3D printing (aka additive manufacturing) is going to change what and how we do things. I’ve discussed what the aviation industry has already adopted, how medical innovations are affected, among others. But, now…

I don’t even recall where I heard about it. But, there was a new pop-up shop. One devoted to 3D printing. In Baltimore- just about 70 minutes away. I searched the web for more information and finally found the place. It was open from 1 pm to 9 pm seven days a week.
I last wrote about Microsoft’s Kinect system about 18 months ago. (There was a three part mini-series that started here.) I discussed why the Kinect system was more than just a toy- with tremendous applications for medicine and healthcare. Today, we’ll talk about a totally different use. One that makes it very useful for 3D printing.

Airbus and Boeing are each evaluating the use of 3D printing to make their aircraft. And, GE, which makes the engines is also considering the use of the process. There are three reasons these- and other- folks want to produce airplanes via 3D printing. Continue reading 3D Printing Comes to Aviation
