How 3D Printing will help developing countries

3D printers can make things like a house or pipe. Instead of using inks, 3D printers use special materials. Enrico Dini tries to make 3D printers that print buildings. This idea seems to be unbelievable because it is never thought about building a house through printers. According to Andrea Morgante of Shiro Studio, one of the advantages of 3D printings, it can create concave and convex designs which is expensive process. Unlike making complicated designs which require more techniques and man power, 3D printers allows people to create any shapes of objects quickly.



By using this technology, we can help people in developing countries. Also, it lowers costs of building a house and materials. One of the interesting projects regarding to 3D printing can be found in this article. From this article, 3D printers create toilets made of recycled plastics. Landfills will be stored in these plastics and turn them into useful objects.

[Benefits through toilets built by 3D printers.]
1. Basic household objects
2. The feed stock
3. Reduced waste

As you can see above benefits, 3D printing can solve lacks of available amenities in developing countries. Many organizations and researchers study about 3D printing. This technology will change a traditional way of creating objects. In addition, it will have a huge impact on manufacturing industries that produce from small parts to big houses. I wonder what happens exactly when 3D printing become dominant in the world.
