Sometimes it seems that the possibilities are endless printing technology 3d and 3d printers use completely destroys the limits of the possible in art and production. Of course, has yet to decide a considerable number of challenges to the ideal printing process, but now there are many unexpected applications of three-dimensional printing. We offer you a 10 unusual things that have been successfully fabricated via a three-dimensional prototyping.

1.  Musical instruments

The initiative group ODD Guitars specializes in the production of the original guitars. They use the printer Cubify 3D, which prints beautiful body guitars. On average, the cost of this guitar is about $ 3000, which certainly can not be called cheap product. At the same time, the guitar well-known companies such as Les Paul, there are tens of thousands of dollars.

2. Firearms

Print guns and various weapons worries politicians since the successful creation of the first prototype of the gun, and is one of the results of debatable 3D printing technology. This year the company Solid Concepts announced the successful development of this metal printing technology service pistol. We bring you the video of assembly and use of the gun, printed on a 3D printer.

3. Printing houses in the 3D printer

Three-dimensional printing technology scalability possible to realize a large-scale project of printing houses. Just a few weeks ago, the Chinese company released the results of the development of building 3d printers. Total for the day have been successfully built 10 houses, similar to 3D printing used early strength cement extrusion. The cost of a home was about $ 5000. Dimensions of building printers impressive width of about 10 meters and a height of over 6 meters.

4. 3D printing chocolate

Three-dimensional printing technology will not only solve the housing problems, but in some ways to feed the world;)

5. Furniture and furnishings

Typing at home 3d printer, it does not hurt to build? Not cheap, but art requires sacrifice, meet furniture and interior printed on a three-dimensional printer.

6. 3D printing in medicine: print prostheses

Particular attention should be given to possibilities of 3d printers, when it comes to complex medical devices, such as prostheses. Now the creation of user-friendly and ideal parts of the body is getting closer.

7. Cars

Frankly, 3d printing cars in Ukraine is not the immediate future, however, the automotive industry uses innovative technologies for prototyping new developments that were previously impossible.

8. Print a 3D printer itself in Ukraine

And of course, as without recursion, self-reproduction of 3D printers? One of the most original areas of 3D printing – print printers themselves, for example RepRap.
