A real business with 3D printer

In General, a 3D printer is very interesting and quite expensive. Recently, this device has gathered a lot of fans, and this is not surprising: the 3D printer can "print" as small gifts and large, huge objects, which find application in industry. This is made a variety of unexpected ideas, how to start a business with 3D printer. To some extent the technology of creating objects in the 3D printer resembles the principle of operation of conventional printers: 

- creates a picture by scanning or computer programs; 

- the picture is displayed on the printer; 

- printing occurs. 

The main difference between a 3D printer in that it creates a three-dimensional image by using a scan of the subject. The image enters either in the computer or immediately to a printer. The operator starts the process of 3D printing, and now creates a volume object. The question may arise that, for the material used when building. Usually it's plastic or other expendable material, which are dressed with the printer. This unique ability of the printer to create new objects spawned new ideas that made possible the business with the 3D printer. Will certainly look at them in more detail. A little bit later.

Creative business, 3D printer. Where to start? To start with components. The material that is the basis, determines the future object. ABC-plastic. This material is very flexible, has a high degree of strength. The plastic itself is available in powder form or in the form of threads. During printing, enters the printer extruder where it is melted and is then directed into the compartment, ready to print 3D parts. Its main drawback – can quickly collapse under the influence of sunlight.

Polycaprolacton a material having a low melting point. Able to quickly harden. HDPE is a very versatile and at the same time, inexpensive material.

As noted earlier, the most agile entrepreneurs are already exploiting the possibilities of strange device. We'll see two niches, where it was possible to run the business with the 3D printer. Niche No. 1. The service for creating accurate three-dimensional mini-models of the client. What a doll! 

In this example, consider a business with a 3D printer and scanner. The client is scanned by a special scanner, and the resulting model falls into the 3D printer. You can do something like plastic man-the fighter, with the difference that it is very hard it will be to recall the scanned customer. Such printing may take several minutes. Of course, the customer in a pleasant shock. In Japan, by the way, there are already similar 3D fotobuch, where do these men-clients. 

Before printing you can edit a pattern using, for example, "Photoshop" you can wear it to any historical clothes! Niche No. 2. Businessmen in the USA, print popular superheroes computer games using a 3D printer. Business curious. The resulting model is sold for $ 100 at a cost of $ 50. Profit! Alternatively, you can "print" the characters of famous films.

Additionally, if you need some of the Arduino and SCM components, you could purchase at Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you the low prices. Such as, plastic threaded knobs, waterproof voltmeter, etc.
