The promise and perils of 3-D printing, and particularly the printing of electronics and other active, integrated systems, was the topic of a Feb. 14 American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) talk by Hod Lipson, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and of computer science.

利普森, a 3-D printing and artificial intelligence expert, participated in the AAAS panel titled “Organizing the Innovation System for Advanced Manufacturing.” The symposium explored the role of additive manufacturing in industrial production, which includes 3-D printing, and how the emergence of robotics is also changing manufacturing processes today. Insights provided included industry, academic and science policy views on manufacturing today.
Lipson概述了3-D打印机 - 可以从几乎所有材料中逐层制造任意形状的零件的机器。他谈到了过去三十年中3-D打印从少数人手中的有限且昂贵的原型制作设备转变为几乎任何人都可以使用的小规模商品生产工具。2020欧洲杯下注官网
Lipson说，广泛认识到的是，新兴的革命将改变生活的各个方面。但是这项技术接下来会去哪里？他的演讲包括增材制造技术的过去，现在和未来的演变，这是人类对物理物质的日益控制的一系列里程碑。
3-D打印可以提供对物体形状的前所未有的控制。它还可以提供对物质多物质组成的控制。3-D打印之旅的另一个方面是控制主动行为，工程师可以从制造被动零件转变为打印主动的集成系统，例如复杂的电子设备。Lipson的实验室最近通过打印一个工作的扬声器来证明这一概念。
Lipson说：“我们的最终测试是打印一个机器人，该机器人将脱离打印机，包括电池。”
