3D Printing
Script
Jim: Hello my name is Jim Kent from Dem Tech.Org News here at Sacred Heart University. Today we are here to tell you about 3D Printers, how they work and how they have affected different professional fields.
The first working 3D printer was made in 1984 by Charles Hull who worked with his staff at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology throughout the 80’s and 90’s to perfect its abilities. It works by designing an object on a 3D plane and sending it to the printer. Then, the printer puts down a layer of material in the shape of the object and holds it in place with a layer of sealant. This progress repeats until the object of choice it built from the ground up.
3D printers have opened doors in many different fields of study. We have Mary reporting on how it has changed the medical industry.
MaryR: Today the top 7 items that are currently being used and developed from a 3D printer are tissues with blood vessels, low cost prosthetic parts, prescription drugs, medical models like hearts and cancerous tumors, bones, heart valves,, synthetic skin and organs. 3D printing these parts is cost effective and quicker than a person waiting on the transplant list for year. With the 3D printer becoming the new way to create different parts in the medical field, people have a better chance of living than they used to when their only hope was that list. Back to you, Jim.
Jim: Next, our field reporter Mary Awad had a chance to meet the Laser Girls, Sarah C. Awad and Dhemerae Ford, who use 3D printing to fulfill artistic endeavors. Here’s what they had to say about the way 3D printing has changed the art industry.
CLIP OF INTERVIEW
Jim:
To finish off this report we have Tom Spierto who is out in the field with ____________ from the Sacred Heart Library letting us take a closer look at the printers and how they can be used in academia.
Tom: LIBRARY FOOTAGE
Jim: What an incredible machine that is! Thanks Tom. And from Dem Tech.Org News, I’m Jim Kent. Have a great night.
