1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
Not much. Just as the name suggest - it's able to print 3D objects :)

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
Not really, I wouldn't find any use for it and it costs a lot of money.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
Nowadays, not but as technology advances maybe we'll be able to print such objects.
1. Yes, I heard about 3D printing. I know that there are several techniques and that you can print food, plastic products and metal products. Without a doubt, 3D printing is the future. It allows to replace traditional production, but as far as I know there are problems with the durability of printed things.

2. 3D printing is definitely a field of the future, there is a lot of room for development. Thanks to printing, you can quickly and easily replace the traditional production of materials, parts, even food. If you have a 3D printer, a computer equipped with special software (usually free) and you can print almost anything - even weapons (printers using metallurgical powders).

3. Certainly in the future but not now. A solid 3D printer is quite expensive, in addition, you need to have the right experience to calibrate it well. Operation is not easy, it requires good software and you need a lot of time.

4. As I know, nowadays 3D technology is producing things like Bugatti Chiron brakes, certain types of weapons, a lot of plastic and metal elements. I don't know if you can call these things "smart objects". The only thing that limits 3D printing is the size of the parts created - the print field is not large. And of course we can't print the electronics.

1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
I only know that they exist.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be future-proof, it's a great idea and as for today rather good execution of that idea so printers are safe.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
Maybe but i've never thought about it.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
If You plan it and create a good project of every element than i don't see and reason why it couldn't be printed.
1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
I know that last year our university bought another printer and is available at our university. I heard there are several types. Materials for this printer get very expensive. I heard the cup prints 2 hours.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
I believe that 3D printing is future-proof. I think we strive to make it more popular and above all cheaper. This is the main factor that slows down interest in this equipment. It is simply unavailable to the majority.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
If the price of the material were more affordable, I would love to buy such a printer. I just wonder if I could do the right project.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
I have no opinion on this topic. I think everything is possible.

1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
I heard a lot of different information about 3D printing. For example, a rhino horn was printed on a 3D printer because its own horn was cut off by poachers. I also saw a video where a real house was printed for a couple of hours.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
No, I wouldn't buy a 3D printer, maybe I would buy something interesting printed on it.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?/ 4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
I think that this is one of those technologies that will undoubtedly develop and bring great benefits in the future. Perhaps someday we will be able to print on a 3D printer not only a smart object, but also, for example, a biological prosthesis based on the tissues of the person who needs it.

1. I just know that 3D printers exists and now with technology people can print some cool stuff. I watched short movie that in US some company used to print all houses with this printers but I do not know if it was for normal people to buy.

2. I think this technology will develop for sure and will be very important part of our lives in the future.

3. Maybe, when this technology will be avalable to normal people and will not cost so much, I willbuy it.

4. I think not with current technology but in the future for sure.
1. Yes, I heard about 3D printing. I know that there are several techniques and that you can print food, plastic products and metal products. Without a doubt, 3D printing is the future. It allows to replace traditional production, but as far as I know there are problems with the durability of printed things.

1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
I heard a lot of things about 3D printing. Starting with printing some ready-made shapes from the Internet and ending on printing food. There are large variety of items that you can create on 3D printer.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
The technology is growing right before our eyes and I think we could say it's going to grow in such a way that it will be future-proof. We could even say this technology is going to future-proof the way we create things.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
I don't plan to buy it in a near future. My dad was thinking about creating one himself as a DIY project back in the day but it has not yet been made.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
In a future we will definitely be able to print nearly everything on a 3D printer, including "smart objects". It the matter of time to combine the technologies mentioned in a video.

1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
Not a lot, but I've heard that in China builders already use 3d printing to print parts of buildings and difficult thing such organs or bones replacement.
Also some people use 3d printers to make plastic parts for different handmade eletronic devices.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
Sure, now it's too expensive and time-consuming process, but technology goes forward.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
I don't think I will. For now it's too expensive, and I don't have a purpose for it.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
Sure. Organs, bones, weapons, mostly everything can be printed using 3d printing if you have time, materials and, of course, suitable 3d printer.
It's true, calibration is hard, but now there are 3D printers that are easy to calibrate. There are cool printer promotions at GearBest
My colleague once assembled a 3D printer, your dad's idea is very good. And how would you own such a printer now what would you print on it?
Thanks for the comment :), believe me, 3D printers don't cost as much as they used to, take a look at the gearbest
thanks for the comment, as you mentioned, you can print organs on 3D printers, isn't that great? As I mentioned above, 3D printers are not so expensive at the moment. They used to cost 10,000 zlotys, but now you can buy a good printer for 1000
https://pl.gearbest.com/3d-printers--3d-printer-kits/pp_009838476250.html?wid=1349303

My colleague bought one, he had no problems with calibration.
The cool thing is that 3D printers really make life easier, and printing smart objects on them gives even more benefits. How would you have such a printer what would you print on it? Maybe some additional elements for games :)?
Thanks for the comment, I once saw a program of how these houses were printed. I wonder how it will look in the future or it will be cheaper thanks to this.

1. About 3D printers I heard a lot of, because my friend have one and I sow what it can do. But it’s amazing that people use it in medicine and they print organs or kind of prosthesis.
2. Yes, it will. I think that we will print much more than we do this now.
3. Probably I would not buy the 3D printer, but I will see in the future.
4. I think, it can. E.g scientists are working with doctors and They are trying to produce the prosthesis (from lego or 3D printer) which will be e.g. like normal hand in functional way, thanks to all electronic in it. This can be just the beginning.
1. What did you hear about 3D printing?

Of course, this technology is constantly evolving and is quite often heard about it. It started with printing ordinary small items and now I even heard about using it to print with human cells.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?

I think so. There is an infinite number of materials from which we can try to print something, it all depends on the development of technology, but I think the concept itself will be used for a very long time.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?

I don't see the need for that at the moment, but I know that technology is getting cheaper and more accurate. Perhaps one day such a printer will be an integral part of every apartment and instead of buying some things we will simply print them.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?

The subject of the film seems to confirm that one day we will be able to print IOT items on a 3D printer. If we use a material that conducts electricity and is resistant to daily use, it opens up completely new possibilities. Electronics will be an integral part of any object and the Internet of things will be able to grow faster and faster.
Maciej Sadoś said…
I believe I would start with something simple like that ready-made shapes and then maybe try to create some shapes myself. Maybe a model of a car or a desk shelf.
When it comes to 3D printing I don't see it as a invention that everyone can use in their homes. For as it is now I think it has better place in some institution that can provides 3D printed products. Maybe in the future it would have some better and easier use in everyday live. It is very young concept and still need developing.
Pawel Bluszcz said…
1. Yes, I've heard about 3D printing. It is a very interesting form and the ability to create things out of nothing - from medical products, through toys, and partly in the automotive industry.
2. 3D is already a technology of the future. As I mentioned in the section above, it is used in almost every industry.
3. No, to print something I would have to design it which would take some time and it doesn't interest me at all. In addition, filaments are quite expensive for individual users.
4. I don't quite understand what you mean by the word "smart"? Electronics can be printed for a long time.
1. I was interested in 3D printers. I watched the rim strength test printed on a 3D printer.
2. I think that 3D printing will be the future but it still needs some refinement.
3.So I planned to buy a 3D printer, I am at the stage of gathering information about printer models and I will try to choose one for myself.
4. Smart objects, it depends what you mean? I believe that you can print on 3D printers the covers that will be functional when folded manually.

1. I heard that 3D printing is an innovative project that enable design tailor-made products, for instance houses or prothesis.

2. Many people believe that 3D printing will replace traditional manufacturing, but in my opinion it's not true, because the materials that we can use to this process are limited. I believe that 3D printing can change and facilitate growth of traditional manufacturing.

3. I think that 3D printer is a great invention and i'm going to buy it in the future, because thank to it I will design and create motorbike elements. They break down quite quickly, so this invention can help me save money.

4. Absolutely yes. I've watched a documentary film about a boy that used 3D printer to create prothesis for his dad that lost hand and leg during war.
I heard about 3D printers in high school from a friend who was fascinated by computer science. He said then that the 3D printer is able to print 95% of itself. That was about seven years ago. Over time, movies about 3D printers began to appear on YouTube, and now everyone can know a lot about it. Amazing how easy it is to create objects by melting and solidifying plastic insert.

3D printers are already helping in our world. Of course, 3D printers used for mass production are much better than those that we can admire on the internet. In my opinion it is the present and the future.

I don't plan to buy a 3D printer, I don't know why I should buy it.

It seems to me that parts for an intelligent object can be printed, but certainly at this point the print quality is too low :(
This technology needs time to be better :D

1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
They will be soon even helpful on medicals.

2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
Yes, it's cost-effective and most importantly they can literally print almost anything you can imagine. so in the future i guess they will be used on the robotics or even on automotive or space technology to just cut the cost.

3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
no, that's not a good invest for me.

4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
it's depends on how smart object you want. but most probably they can print anything or send the object to the china so they copy it for you.
1. I know this technology well and often use it for various projects.
2. Of course, I think that someday it will stand in every home like a regular printer.
3. Yes, I'm planning to buy for a long time.
4. Yes, there are printers that create entire electrical systems.

1. I heard many things about 3D printing and I even had possibility to use one 3D printer. But it is young technology and now it is not cheap method even for personal use. One of the most interesting thing i heard is that 3D printing is able to create parts and things no other technique can achieve. (also used in medicine)

2. With science and computers which are getting more advanced year by year 3D printing definetely will find its place in world of technology.
At first it was possible to print simple shapes and now 3D printing allow to create shapes no other manifacture technique can create. From plastic products to metal parts and even food or organs.

3. If i will be able to buy one and technique will be advanced enough to my standards. Maybe with time it will be cheaper too.

4. It is just a matter of time to be honest. In this case not only 3D printers need to be better. 3D printing is based on 3D modeling and also the material that is being used in production.
Denys Pogurskyi said…
1. What did you hear about 3D printing?
Well, I remember watching a video where they did some details on a 3D printer and it looked pretty cool.
2. Will 3D printing be future-proof? if not why?
In the future, naturally, these printers will be used everywhere, so that there would be some kind of detail to print that has broken at your pet :D
3. Are you planning to buy a 3D printer in the future?
Now I’m not going to buy a printer, and in the future I’m not sure what I’ll buy for sure. Unless in the event that there is no need for this.
4. Can a smart object be printed with a 3D printer?
Perhaps soon it will be possible)

1. Not much really. I know their general mode of operation, I saw their work live, but I have never been interested in it.

2. Yes of course. We are starting to print organs for transplantation, so I see a bright future.

3. No, I don't need to.

4. Not yet, but we're getting closer to it. We can print a heart valve, so we're close to a small revolution.

1. I heard a lot of things about 3D printing. There are many types of materials that can be used in 3D printing. Some of them resemble resin and are used in sports shoe creation. The 3D printer is used in different DIY projects to create frames or enclosures or even some statues, clothing and furniture items. Huge 3D printer prototypes use some concrete substances to print houses in a couple of hours. Some 3D printers used in medicine to print organs that can in the future be used in surgeries to help other people.

2. If today 3D printers have so wide field of use and in the future it will be much better and there will be more ways to apply this technology.

3. I have on mind some cool (at least for me) projects that involve the usage of 3D printing technologies (mostly for housings). Unfortunately, 3D printing services very expensive and it will be an economically profitable and wise decision to buy own 3D printer.

4. As I know, one company uses a 3D printer to make small robots that can be used inside the human body but I can't say for which tasks (there were a lot of medical terminologies that are not so easy to remember). And this robot Controllable (like RC cars). If such smart objects are already created, it is definitely possible to create any other smart objects with a 3D printer.

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.

Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email.

James Veitch is a British comedian. In today’s Ted Talk James with characteristic for himself a sense of humor shows how he deals with spam emails and why responding to junk messages may be sometimes dangerous. Questions: What do you think about James’s  way of dealing with spam? Why are junk messages legal, even though it sometimes may be a fraud? Dou you have a problem with spam? How do you deal with with it?
