What are 3-D printers?
Healthcare has been significantly changed by 3-D
printing
Cuts time of surgeries
Allows printing of organs
livers
hearts
etc...
Reduces surgery costs
Saves thousands of lives
May generate $4 billion dollars for the healthcare industry
inn America by 2018
Black Market Trading Organ trafficking accounts for 10% of
70,000 kidney transplants
China, India, Pakistan, and many other
countries thrive off this black market
China will execute prisoners and take
their organs to sell
Can anyone print human organs and
sell them?

Artifical organs in human bodies
Doctors playing God
goes against religious morals of soem individuals
Regulating prices of healthcare based on which organ products
Who will pay for 3-D printers?
tax payers
private funding?
Lack of legal compliance for regulating 3-D printing
Other Issues....
3D Food PrintingHow 3D Food Printers WorkSimply stated, you get what you put in. Food can be broken down
into three main components: protein, carbohydrates, and fats.
Advantages :
• Customization
Custom Nutrition
Food Design
Special Dietary Needs
• Complexity
• Tool-less
• Sustainable / Environmentally Friendly
Challenges and barriers to
overcome Regulation
Food safety/shelf life
Ingredient limitations
Taste
Printing Fashion What?
Clothes, Jewelry, Shoes, undergarments
The Good +
1. Consumer independence/customization
2. Fast and Efficient for Designers, companies,
and Consumers
3. Decreased Costs
4. Reduced need of warehousing
Printing Fashion
The Bad -
1. Copyright issues
2. Decrease in manufacturing Jobs
3. Unhealthy Air emissions
3D printing in Terrorism
3D printers can be used to create pieces for guns that can`t be traced by metal detectors and other search procedures.
This allows terrorist to sneak by weapons into airports or other events or places to launch another attack.
This is a big concern for the war on terrorism.
This will cause more lock down on security measures in the future.
US military using 3D printing for
weapons
The Military can use 3D printing the same as Terrorist to cut the cost on guns used in the military
This allows them to use cheaper resources in weapons and other useful accessories.
A down side to using 3D printing is that weapons can be less reliable and less powerful
This can cause the Military to decide not to use this technology for weapons or accessories they rely on the most.
Other Military Uses of 3D Printing
The Military can Use this technology
for prosthetics for injured soliders.
They are looking to use 3D printers
for MRE`s for soldiers based on a
device that measures their height
weight and nutrition intake so the
printer can create a meal that fits
the needs of each soldier.
Military wants to create swarms of
drones for military use
3D printing of drones 3D printers can be used to print parts and pieces
for drones This makes using drones cheaper
This could cause the military to use more drones during warfare or covert ops missions to scope out best way to go about the mission.
All you need for the drone is a mother board and a control center so all of the pieces work.
People can also print their own drones with the proper software for the pieces of the drone and able to build it.
3D Printing & Counterfeiting
Expect it to cost up to $100 billion by 2018
Numerous CAD designs online
3D printing can be purchased by any hobbyist
Most prices are less than $3,000
3D Printing & Counterfeiting
Authenticity becomes very difficult to verify
Intellectual rights violated
Chemical fingerprints are not visible and need
to be analyzed by a lab
Without verification enforcement is very
difficult to enforce
Consumer deception
