Three-dimensional imaging

by admin on Nov.18, 2009, under Computer, Technology

The increasing availability of 3D ultrasound has allowed a large measure of the rapid advancement of computer technology. The aim of the three-dimensional imaging examinations are noninvasive to eliminate, wherever possible, and simplify workflow.

3D ultrasound is as safe as conventional ultrasound, as the image of parts of two-dimensional images is composed, so that exposure to ultrasound is the same. In this procedure, several two-dimensional images are combined special software to form three dimensional images.

Its three dimensional imaging, sonologists can get the complete picture in one picture. You can see the entire brain at a glance instead of multiple images. Similar results obtained with a routine 2D scan of the head requires at least three scans. In other scenarios, such as abdominal scans, it is not possible to obtain a third view with a routine scan. Three-dimensional imaging allows a doctor to get checked for a better view of the institution, and is best used for early detection of tumors to detect masses in the colon and rectum, the detection of breast lesions for biopsy possible to assess fetal development and visualization of blood flow in various organs. Three-dimensional scans significantly aid in the diagnosis of problems, with details from different angles.

A good three-dimensional image depends on the ability of the operator to position the baby and the amount of fluid around him. A good photograph of the face, for example, can be achieved if the baby is turned upward, he must no longer in his hands to his face, and there is a pool of amniotic fluid around the office.

In addition, pediatric sonologists reap a number of benefits through improved technologies. Patient care was improved with higher quality images in 3D. Costs were also reduced due to a need for fewer scans.

Saving Money and Time in 3D Printing

by admin on Jun.17, 2009, under 3D Printing, Printer, Technology

3D printing is a fast, so much more economical building or prototype models and is the world of design corresponds to a laser printer in a normal office environment with the adoption of increases rapidly with the unprecedented growth of three-dimensional CAD solid modeling.

Such compliments printing rapid prototyping and traditional (RP) technology, but has significant cost advantages. Rapid prototyping of both traditional and three-dimensional printing technologies enhance the layer by layer models from STL files, but when you compare the difference in cost per unit between the two systems, they can be very important. Thus, by comparing the total cost of ownership for systems including equipment, capital depreciation, system maintenance and work, some with RP technology is almost twice the cost of printing built 3 dimensions.

Because of their systems of capital expenditure by RP often committed with a centrally located staff will function similar to a service bureau to house. 3D printer on the other hand, are more affordable, smaller and suitable for installation in the vicinity of an end user, whether on their desktop and offers maximum comfort and ease of use that will eliminate the “lag of the ministry.”

Traditionally, when hiring a service provider to construct prototype parts would be an essential element of trust, because requiring the exchange of confidential company STL. Turnaround time is another area of risk depends on the complexity and quality STL files and the ability of the service provider. Delays are due to product design-related iterative process with multiple loops, the more the participation of a third party .. complex are exaggerated

Functioning prototypes of 3D HDTV displays

by admin on May.27, 2009, under Technology

While it is generally agreed that high definition television, the television technology is the future, there is a more advanced type of technology on the horizon that could eclipse! This technology is 3D HDTV.

It has a resolution of the image resolution of an HDTV set is comparable, but it is also capable of producing images that appear three dimensional. In fact, these devices can give the viewer the impression, surrounded by images. For example, a land surveyor, who attended a demonstration with a prototype of this kind of butterflies HD TV and petals fly off the screen by describing it as a very realistic!

Of course, technology 3D video is not really something new. In fact, 3D movies were popular for decades, but had the disadvantage that viewers wear special glasses to provide polarized glasses to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image. The 3D technology is based on the HDTV is different. A high resolution 3D monitor actually shows different images in different angles. In this way, each slightly different images in the eye of the viewer and give the illusion of depth. The different angles by more pictures of the TV screen, the more realistic three-dimensional effects.

3D artistic and imaginative models

by admin on May.16, 2009, under 3D Printing, Printer, Technology

Industrial design has been revolutionized by 3D printing technology. All of a computer mouse on a mountain bike has been awarded 3-D shape. This technology has been extended to contour lines and the dynamics of new production.

Rapid Prototyping Technology

Before the advent of 3D printing, prototyping had laboriously by a master are manufactured in a large workshop that specialized tools. A model perfectly proportioned wood generally requires several days to finish even with the employment or work highly qualified and competent. There were significant delays between the design phase of a project, the prototype stage.

Completed drawings was time to bring a viable model, as the images are carefully followed to avoid errors. Rapid prototyping of a need for the physical model developed in a period shorter time produce a much lower cost. You can now this technology for 3D models on your printer with great attention to detail and precision printing. Successive layers are printed that he had to construct an image that can be used for the traditional wax or molding high-epoxy high tech.

Self-Replicating Printer

Self-replicating, rapid prototyping, or RepRap, which is currently allows you to unique and innovative ideas that are operational in a short period of time to create. Three dimensional objects can also be printed at home with a price cut expected from RepRap 3D printer classic. Rapid prototyping is a new level as a manufacturer of medical devices, industrial or jewelry designers and automotive engineers can be taken to create complex products and artifacts, without requiring costly infrastructure industry. The common assumption is that technology is another version of the original, you can quickly create parts and make parts defective resources low. It is ideal envisioned a future where you can design and build your own machine in the comfort of your home could.

The technology comes under rapid prototyping systems

by admin on May.09, 2009, under 3D Printing, Computer, Technology

The 3D printing technology comes into the fight in 1986, but has won only in 1990. In recent years, 3D printers are available in the market at low costs, but the performance levels are set high standards.

The technology is under rapid prototyping systems and includes a fully functional ink jet printing as well. The technology of 3D printing is preferable because it promotes full color prototypes.

The 3D object is created layer-wise, one after the other places a fine on another. A fine powder, consisting of plaster, corn starch and resins are used to build the layers. These layers are bonded by an adhesive to the inkjet printhead. The shape of each cross section of the desired object is determined by a CAD file. The force of these impressions may be increased, thermo-set polymer impregnation or wax.

Some printers use a liquid photopolymer for the formation of the layers mentioned. The photopolymer layer is a cure with a UV lamp (UV), is connected to the inkjet printer.

There is also a method called Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), in which a nozzle deposits of molten polymer into a mold layer by layer. The strength of these objects can be increased by inserting a metal one.

The crossing of the finish cutting of thin layers allows an exact form of laminate. Each technology has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, consider the most important factors are the speed of the surface, the cost of the printer object and the materials used (powder or polymer) and the capabilities of color among others.

Some applications of 3D printers include architectural design, print organs, primary metal smelting, education and others.

3D’s remarkable delight in printing

by admin on May.05, 2009, under 3D Printing, Technology

Technological progress is a phenomenon sweeping in all areas of modern life. Brotherhood pressure is no exception, and 3D printing has revolutionized the printing industry with soaring pace of technological progress. 3D printing is the magic word in the mainstream of today’s technical fields. 3D printing is a special form of production, which is closely associated with traditional printing rapid prototyping. The creation of a three-dimensional object images in the printing process is carried out by the overlay and on consecutive cross-sectional view of the material. One merit of this common perception is that 3D printers are relatively cheap to buy and print faster than shared printers, technology-based production of food additives.

Although the prototype continued pressure from its dominance in the market also has 3D printing with outstanding merits and potential end users are customers. This technology is becoming increasingly popular jewelry, shoes and various designs. Areas of architectural and automotive and medical fraternities have also in the bottom of the 3D printing technology developed today.

This printing process is fast print output, in contrast to the typical prototype of the pressure which takes time and hard work preserved. This impression is satisfied with the speed and reduces the work with the output quality achieved. This is the cheapest way to produce prototypes with rapid prototyping, which the mark is made by 3D printing.

This impression outperforms the other methods and traditional printing methods, such as stereo lithography. The reason is that 3D printing for rapid and cost-designed. It is clearly defined guidelines, the space for critical reflection and the phases of construction, particularly in areas where the dimensional accuracy in design are less important. The presentation of this idea is as convenient for conceptual design engineering, where the strength of the prototype is not required. 3D printing resolution is made in the thickness of the layers and in the resolution in dpi XY. Standard thickness is usually / – 100 microns (0.1 mm). The XY resolution can be connected to the laser printer.
