3. History of 3D Printing
“The inception of 3D printing can be traced
back to 1976, when the inkjet printer was
invented. In 1984, adaptations and advances
on the inkjet concept morphed the technology
from printing with ink to printing with materials.

about the evolution of 3D printing.” (History of
3D Printing, para.2)

4. The Possibilities of 3D Printing
What things were discussed in the video and on the
timeline that could be 3D printed?

What things would you 3D print if you had your own
printer such as the Orion Delta printer?

5. Will 3D printing really become a household trend?

6. Discussion
●Discuss the positive and negative aspects that you feel
3D printing presents.
●Do the positives outweigh the negatives?
●Who has the most to gain from 3D printing,
manufacturers or consumers?

These questions are part of a
discussion board activity later in
this module

7. The Origins of the Orion Delta 3D Printer
A Look at RepRap

8. RepRap
“RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating
manufacturing machine.” (RepRap, 2013, para. 1) “RepRap takes the
form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects.
Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints
those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that
anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if
you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can
print another RepRap for a friend…” (RepRap, 2013, para. 2)

10. SeeMeCNC (Maker of the Orion)
SeeMeCNC started manufacturing CNC machines in the
fall of 2011 with a goal of bringing their CNC machining and
injection molding capabilities to the DIY/Open Source
community.

12. Cartesian vs Delta
The main difference between the two is how they move / position the print nozzle, cartesian based
printers move in a linear XYZ manner while delta printers rely on three independent carriages to move
up and down “towers” to place the printhead in exact locations. Typically Delta style printers require
less parts, making them less expensive, yet from experience, just as accurate.

13. Looking Forward
Even though 3D printing has been
around for decades, the current
affordability and technological
advancements is making access to
this technology possible for makers,
educators, and more. There is still a
lot to be learned and innovated
involving the process, but creating a
community of users such as you
could lead to the day that you
download and print your purchases
rather than making a trip to the store.

Something to think about:
●What would a career in 3D printing look like?
●What skills would be required?
●Research to see if careers in 3D printing /
rapid prototyping exist.
