Rough Draft 3D printing will have a negative impact on society because of the health concerns they're causing. A 3D printer is an automation that makes a physical from a three-dimensional digital model. The 3D printing industry is expected to grow by more than 31% per year between 2014 and 2020 to eventually produce over $21 billion in worldwide income. Wohlers believes the 3D printing industry produced $4.1 billion in worldwide revenue in 2014. It saves time in that its use makes it easy to create and design a given product. 3D printing has proven to be potentially beneficial in the healthcare backgrounds by which it has been utilized to produce model of human body organs. Even though most people would utilize 3D printers to enhance their …show more content…
The level of harmful particles and fumes depended mostly on the fiber material, not the printer. Ultrafine particles are particles less than 100 nanometers in diameter. When they are inhaled, they can reach the brain or enter the human blood system in less than one minute. Once the UFPs are in the bloodstream, the liver and spleen are the most vulnerable. Common diseases associated with absorption of UFPs include bronchitis, tracheitis, asthma, and some forms of cancer. The inhalation of UFPs has been compared to the harmful effects of smoking. 3D printers release particles and compounds during printing that could cause cancer or other sicknesses. This will show the negative feedback the printer will have when most people only see the good side of it. "3D printing: what's the …show more content…
Kristin Fontichiaro discusses that if someone wanted to use the 3D printer for something, it wouldn't be the same as experiencing it in a natural way. But 3D printers are in the field of engineering so instead of buying the costly plastics or metals, a customer can now create replicated objects or their own one of a kind thing. An example of this is that someone thinks it's better to make a 3D scan of a fish and compare that to real size. But the reason fish get mounted is because they are a souvenir from a day of going fishing. Its seeing the actual fish that validates and realness of the experience. Scanning a fish adds little emotional value. This can help people see what they would decide to do with a 3D printer if they got one and they can use this information. "Should you buy a 3D
