once upon a time in hollywood starring brad pitt and leonardo dicaprio won nothing despite being well received by critics. this time hollywood's heavy hitters were sent home undecorated. and that's the news wrap this hour we will end using a 3 d. printer and you could win this cool chance but more on that later isn't it incredible what you can make with 3 d. printer these days guns fool me according to industry experts voters 6 years ago companies in this sector generated 2700000000 euros in 2015 they made 4400000000 euros and last year a staggering 8100000000 now experts expect the sector to make an eye watering 20000000000 euros in 2020. to help protect the region's gorgeous corals from climate change the maldives have installed 3 d. printed artificial reefs. and the fashion industry is also making

use of the technology creating shoes and accessories from scratch even major fashion brands are onboard sylvia haydn bach is a pioneer in this field experimenting with various colorful synthetic resins she says anyone can use 3 d. printers as long as they sell life then use the input materials properly. it's what i'm fresh spawn and even the metal ya depending on how you use refine fire and combine different materials real how much of the items are some cool new. belgian 3 d. printing company i don't materialize for example has found a way to recycle plastic waste and turn it into glasses frames which by the way are fully recyclable. but also want to make sure that the sunglasses never become waste again so swap some glass for a new pair we resign. 3 d.

printing tech is revolutionizing the health care sector. for instance produces tailor made prosthetic arms that fit perfectly he was never quite satisfied with the other manufacturers. maybe. the 1st 3 d. printed. in france and denmark as well as in texas. and cost only about $10000.00 euros to make. this replica of the star was a robot was also made using a 3 d. printer but how does this technology actually work well there are many different printing methods and materials to choose from concrete and synthetic resin for example the 3 d. printer liquefies material and then print said layer through

a special jet to do this the printer follows a digital construction plan sounds complicated it's not really. need to replace a chess piece or a screw no problem just fire up the 3 d. printer and make one a country d. printing method is fused deposition modeling while f t m. this is the f d m method . printer works a bit like a hot glue gun. we've got the plastic on this call. leading into this feeder you know it's connected to this tube which leads down here . and down here we've got a printer head where the plastic is heated to 220 degree celsius and then the printer deposits the material layer by layer creating a model of. syria lassalle is another widespread 3 d. printing methods. by s.l.

surface textures can be rougher. and what you print won't be as sturdy. so not as durable as items made with s.l.a. . you fought about methyl off the advantages of s.l.a. printing are smoother surfaces and sturdy builds one of the disadvantage is that this technology is quite expensive in terms of materials and maiden's so while 3 d. printing may look simple it does require a fan of preparation. our custom made shift headphones for example well made on a 3 d. printer using 140000000 liters of synthetic resin the printing process took 12 hours and one of you lucky people could win them i'll just tell us what you think of our new show do you like the look how do you find our host and what about the topics let us know printing whatever you want sounds like the ep it's on the

freedom but there's a dock side to this technology as well like blueprints for making your own firearms uploaded to the internet by the u.s. gun lobby all you need to print a gun is a suitable 3 d. printer and 70 euros worth of aluminum powder so 3 d. printing is clearly a double edged sword stephon it is an engineer and innovation expert in knows a lot about this topic and. it's actually easier to buy a gun whether legally or illegally then to print one and. printing a firearm will give you a plastic gun that can shoot a single bullet and which is as dangerous for the shooter as for the target can all do feel that. there are 3 d. printers for metal but these are very expensive and also don't produce dirty weapons but 3 d. printers do make it easier to read. individual parts and entire machines as well as

create cheap knock off copies that could hurt manufacturers tremendously u.s. market research firm gartner projects that 3 d. printing piracy could cost companies up to $90000000000.00 euro. 3 d. printing is used mainly in industry for example for making customized items such as artificial limbs 3 d. printing also makes producing prototypes easier cheaper and more sustainable and it's useful for the spare parts market as well. as repairing this technology is used to make a lot of spare parts and carry out repairs of the log and because parts needed in industry are difficult to come by and use lots of resources. at this point and so i think this technology will shape society because it helps industry become more

sustainable. what if i took 3 d. printing as part of a d.i.y. and repair culture. and i think society will be receptive to and foster this culture of hocked. but the german environment agency has warned that 3 d. printers use plastics that harm the environment and can emit toxic fumes during printing. some experts say the harmful side effects of 3 d. printing like poisonous emissions and more plastic waste will vanish over time and many tech pioneers believe that 3 d. printing could solve some of the world's most urgent problems making it a cleaner better place to live in although that needs 3 d. printers than the ones you use in your living room the future of 3 d. printing may have been written at the university of california plan research has developed a way to make 3 d. printing 100 times faster instead of layering liquid materials and methods.

method is still in its early stages but it's hoped it could be used in mass production someday. based companies tell breaks is pushing the envelope of 3 d. printing head developing a method of printing by layering cells on top of each other through cell division the parent cell divides into daughter cells ease of and glue together and so forth the company has already managed to print many organs using this process. in the long term we want to establish something that helps keep people alive that's what motivates us i was 5. also regard 3 d. printing as a key space technology. rocket engines to be manufactured out of fun and today a german company isn't ready devising a french sense for welding together. of metal with 3 d. printers. your space agency is looking into using 3 d.
