Photonics 4 All Bookmark 3D Printing (Swedish)

<p>The purpose of the bookmarks for the project Photonics4all is to increase the public awareness of photonics and especially of the technological advances of photonics which have changed and improved everyday life (basic technology introduction).<br> <br> How is Light revolutionizing manufacturing?<br> <br> During the last 5 years, a huge improvement has been made in laser sources, which has enabled the growth of 3D printing.<br> 3D Printing is such a new type of process, offering so many applications that this technology opens new doors to manufacturing industries. The Aerospace and Automotive industries are already making parts for the International Space station in space, aeroplanes and cars.  And in medicine, implants and prosthetics are being made, and smart objects and new optical components are emerging.  Home 3D printers are also just starting to hit the market.  Who knows what will be made next!<br> All thanks to the progress in Photonics!</p> <p> </p>
