1. Stereolithography (SLA)
2. Digital Light Processing (DLP)
3. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
4. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
5. Selective Laser Melting (SLM)\
6. Electric Beam Melting (EBM)
The Maker Bot 3D printer the school has is Fused deposition modeling 3D printer. It works by laying down a certain material in layers. The material it ejects from its nozzle is most commonly a type of metal, or a plastic filament. The type of material our 3D printer uses is just a plastic filament.
You can't have one single definitive average printing time for a desktop 3D printer. Many factors can change the speed, factors such as the resolution you are printing, what material you are using, the heat you are using, and the size of the object. even the complexity of the object you are printing can change the time it will take your printer to print your object.
A 3D printer can be used for many different things, such as:
1. Replication
2. Prototyping
3. Medical Uses
4. Printing Robotic Components
5. Recreation
In the scientific community, 3D printing has been used for many, many different applications. I think the most astounding that I know about it probably 3D printing prosthetics. Effectively making them cheaper to manufacture, and in turn, making them cheaper to buy for people in need of artificial prosthetics. It has also been used for human enhancements, like leg extensions to make you run much faster. It has also been used to print robotic pieces, and even using stem cells it has been used to 3D print human organs that can, and eventually will be used for organ transplants.
