Overview of 3D Printing at MediaStorm

Introduction

• MediaStorm has been giving guests miniature 3D-printed gifts.
• These gifts, while affordable, symbolize sincerity and help break the ice.
• 3D printing plays a crucial role in creating these models.
• Bambu Lab, the 3D printer brand used by MediaStorm, sponsors this episode.

Types of 3D Printing Used

1. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM):
   • Involves melting plastic strings and laying them down layer by layer.
   • Beginner-friendly but demonstrates visible layer lines.
2. Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA):
   • Uses UV light to cure liquid resin into solid models.
   • Requires careful handling due to resin toxicity and post-processing for finished results.

Usage and Benefits

• Initially adopted for product development; later expanded for creativity.
• Used for printing diverse, unique models and practical tools.
• Features both fun projects and essential product prototyping.
