The motorcycle you use to go to school or work has a broken part. The repair shop says it will take two weeks for the part to arrive. With 3D printing, you can make that part and be on your way in an hour or two!

  • 3D scan the old part and print the part you need
  • Download existing 3D design plans to your computer and print the part you need
  • Create the 3D design plan on your computer and print the part you need

Inventors, engineers, musicians, designers, artists, movie producers, medical scientists, and manufacturers have been using 3D printing for many years to determine if an idea will work, making a three-dimensional object first for a fraction of the cost and time. Now, 3D printing is available for anyone to make anything at anytime.

3D printing skills are highly sought, in great demand, and can provide significant sources of income.

If you can imagine it, you can make it! You can create answers for social and health problems!
