Reasons Why Everyone Can Benefit From a 3D Printers

September 2, 2020 by Polly Leave a Comment

The number of different applications of 3D printing is increasing every day as this technology becomes more and more integral to different areas of our lives.

Gone are the days when 3D printing was a luxury hobby; 3D printers are now cheaper and more widely available than they have ever been.

With such a wide range of affordable printers and the limitless potential of creation, there are many people who are looking to buy a 3D printer to get their craft hobby started. This article is a guide to how everyone can benefit from a 3D printer.

It’s a Fun Hobby

There are no limits to the exciting things that you can do with a 3D printer. The experts at www.io3dprint.com explain that enthusiasts are making their own chess boards, action figures, crossbows, or even Lego sets or fidget spinners for their children.

Many people invite their family and friends to join in their hobby with them, as seeing a design come to life before their eyes are truly rewarding. Studies show that learning new skills can help release endorphins and instill a sense of accomplishment.

There are many great places to look for inspiration if you can’t think of anything practical, such as your favorite video games or TV shows.

Creating an object inspired by something you love is a great way to start off your hobby.

Improve Your Creativity

Printing out 3D models is far more complex than just pressing “print” and waiting for your creation to print out.

In order to create a 3D product, you have to learn the design and print process, experiment with the print settings, and test the limits of your creativity to realize any item you can imagine.

When you own a 3D printer, you will soon learn that making useful tools like phone cases or cardholders is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are people who have created an exact scale model of the heart and brain, as well as accurate replicas of famous landmarks. 3D printing not only sparks the creative and inventive sides of your mind, but it is also therapeutic and can help you unwind.

Develop New Skills

3D printing is not only an ingenious hobby, but it is also a marketable and desirable skill. It is always a good idea to expand your breadth of knowledge into CAD software and the ever-developing scope of the technology itself.

This skill set finds its use in medicine, science, the automotive and engineering industries, and many more.

Being familiar with the technology as someone who owns a 3D printer can grow you to more of a modern and capable individual. You will be a step ahead of the rest of the world and set you apart from your growing competition in the 21st century.

Educate Your Children

Letting children learn by actually carrying out tasks and touching physical items can improve their ability to retain more information than just by reading alone.

That is why there is no better way to educate your child than to let them interact with the process of 3D printing, investigate different CAD software, and stimulate their creative side.

Depending on your children’s age, you can create various items from puzzles and tools to didactic models of atoms and planets.

Many universities across the globe include 3D printers in their educational framework, and if your child already knows the fundamentals, they’ll be leagues ahead of the rest of their class.

Environmentally Sustainable

There are various reasons why 3D printing is efficient, from using less material to reducing the shipping costs and eliminating single-use waste (such as packaging).

It also has an environmental impact in terms of reducing emissions from delivery on fuel-based vehicles.

For the truly dedicated, you can even take a step further by utilizing your 3D printing filaments or use those that comprise hemp, soy, wood fiber. Plus, 3D printers also run off electricity, which is able to generate from renewable sources.

3D printers have transformed so many businesses and individual’s lives. While 3D printing can be educational and rewarding – it can also be a good way to relax and create something cool.

Gone are the days where 3D printing had a price barrier to enter, or when people were worried about investing in new technology out of concerns that it may become obsolete.

3D printers are no longer seen as a high-risk technology as there are so many universities, hospitals, and businesses that are adopting this technology.

Owning a 3D printer not only encourages you to come up with innovative ideas, but it also helps your business stay competitive and innovative.
