3d Printing & Engineering Design Ogos

3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, is a process of making three dimensional (3D) solid objects from a digital file. Basically, designers create the 3D model through a software (e.g Computer Aided Design/ CAD) and process it through a 3D printer to create the actual item from a range of materials including plastics and polymers. Jobs in the industry are booming as mechanical and industrial engineers and commercial and industrial designers find their skills are in high demand.

Everything from intimate devices (teledildonics) saving long distance relationships to mechanical components and prototypes for the automotive and aviation industry to dental and medical innovations like 3D transplantable living kidneys to printing habitable houses. In Colombia, for example, non profit medical device startups like e-Nable Medellin are 3D printing new limbs that transform the lives of child and adult amputees.

The business of 3D printing is booming. From DIY set ups and startups (278,000 3D printers were sold lasy year under $5000) to big brands like General Electric, Nike and consumer brand Tiffany's are investing in 3D printing innovation labs. The global industry is estimated at $7.3B in 2018, with additive manufacturing products growing globally at a rate of 21% YoY in aforementioned capital intensive sectors as well as consumer electronics, toys and appliances that can be customised or repaired with the new technology.

Cutting Edge 3D Printing Company Logo Design Trends

Like most technology logo ideas, 3D printing logo designs are striking, minimal and look futuristic.
3D printing logos are mostly created using cubes in an assortment of colors, from bright multi-colored designs to popular tech industry color palettes of blue logos, grey logos, green logos and yellow logos.
Colors for both fonts and symbols can be bright or muted like grey and black (for a smooth and glossy look).
Low-poly art and a variety of mostly sans serif font styles dominate wordmark and combination logomarks.
