3D Printing: Some Interesting Applications

3D Printing: Some Interesting Applications
The essence of 3-D printing came into being in 1984, as the inventor of this modern technology, Charles Hull brought a new concept to the world that involved printing thin layers of UV material, one top of the other, to create just about anything under the sun. This concept has given a new dimension to printing, literally. And now that the technology has become wide-spread, it’s time for you to get your own 3-D printed art. Here are a few options to help you pick out something special:
Symbolism
One of the biggest preferences by customers is, for a personalized and symbolic design. These are usually a representation of who you are, or what you absolutely love. For instance, you might want to gift a custom-designed ballerina to your little girl. Or have a guitar made for your own showcase, to reflect the musician in you!
Jewellery
Thanks to the electrolysis process, we have an upper-hand at producing some of the most exquisite silver-coated ornaments and jewellery for our customers. You can opt for pendants, bracelets and rings, from our Silver Section. Or you can go for your own inimitable design and make a different impression altogether. For example, you could have a silhouette replica made, of a loved one, on a pendant. Wouldn’t that be lovely?
Religion
Our designs are intricate and created with utmost precision, as the machines form the object, one layer at a time. If you’d like, you could create a compelling God-figure or Goddess, and become devoted to the breathtakingly-beautiful figurines. The vivid colors and materials help formulate the object with delicacy and fine detail.
Souvenir
Showbha makes sure its customers get the satisfaction of designing as per their needs. With the help of a number of 3D software on Google, you have the liberty to create anything from articulate models to complex geometry. If you’d like, you could take into account something that your child created on paper, and turn that into spectacular 3-D art, to be treasured forever.
Action Toys
This one isn’t just for the little boys, it’s for all the comic-book lovers who would go head-over-heels to have their favorite action hero turned into a figurine. Children have their own desired cartoon characters, too, which would be a lovely birthday gift, once turned into a third-dimensional keep.
Exclusive Showpieces
If you’ve got a friend’s house-warming party coming up, or need to decorate around your place with something that will make everyone look twice, you don’t need to head to an expensive designer- you can become the designer yourself! Whether it’s something you saw off the internet, or on a classy TV show, or something from your mind altogether, if you can design it- we can make it!
Though these are only some of the possibilities, there is no end to the thought one can put into creativity. We have over a 100 artistic designs and limited editions that are kept exclusive, just for our customers. So you’ve got hoards of options to choose from!

Cloud Based 3D Rendering

Cloud based rendering is a new age generation of super fast rendering at low cost of ownership, faster turn around and higher 3D rendering efficiency. Traditional rendering included few high performance computer systems connected to each other forming a small cluster. Although effective these systems had their limitations especially when high definition and realistic output was needed on when time was a crucial factor. But with cloud based rendering all these issues can overcome and that too at lowered costs. Companies like RenderingFox have come up with applications that will allow you to render 3D jobs using the large cloud infrastructure. With thousands of powerful machines, access to multiple software, 3D studios can now focus on their core design and not worry about the render and delivery time.
