3D printing

1

Technology keeps on advancing without stopping. One technological topic
that caught my eye was 3D printing. 3D printing is a process of making a physical
object from a 3 dimensional digital model. Printers were made but with a difficult
software to understand and navigate. A group of engineers had designed a software
system where it is much more easier to access and create objects wit the 3D printer.
The software system is called 3DPrinterOS. The 3DPrinterOS connects to a number
of popular printers and it also works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Google vs. Bing
Googles search engine and Bings search engine are nearly the same speed
when searching something. Bing does have much more results than Google, but
Google has more related searches. Both engines provide the tabs news, image, video,
etc. Both search engines are great and I recommend both.

1. The Article Engineers build a 3D printing OS for all printers everywhere
was posted August 22, 2014.
2. It relates to my topic by showing there is more softwares being created to
better understands on how to use the 3D printer with no hassle.
3. The author is John Biggs and has written for NY times, USA weekend and
many more newspaper and magazine companies. He is also the former
editor-in-chief of Gizmodo.com.

4. The information is not fully accurate because there are no known resources
where he collected his data. He has pictures of the software on how the page
looks but no link.
5. The article was written to inform us on how easy it is becoming much more
easy to print something by having the 3D printer along with any computer
with the 3D OS software.

Key words: 3D printing

Databases used: SIRS and ProQuest

ProQuest and SIRS are to scholarly search engines provided by CCBC
libraries. Both are easy to access by the click of one button on the CCBC libraries
website. Both engines have the same speed on finding data related to the subject
searched. Both engines are affiliated with CCBC libraries so they are reliable.
