Of the technologies most used today the internet can be considered one of the most impactful, revolutionary, and accessible. But in the same way that the world does not stop, technology also does not stop evolving and new devices continue to be created or improved.
3D PRINTER: THE FUTURE IN THIS PRESENT
The power to create our own three-dimensional objects has been given us, a key of your notebook has gone, or the cover of your phone's battery has disappeared, do not lose your head just print a new one. The 3D printer is designed so that people working with product development can quickly create prototypes or parts of some materials with different chemical properties, that is, print three-dimensional objects.
Previously only available to a restricted group of people at an exorbitant price, today the 3D printer is more a case of a domesticated device and they become increasingly small and cheap.
HOW DOES IT WORK, IS MAGIC?
The traditional printing process is fully applicable here, except that 3D printers through a three-dimensional model designed in CAD-like software construct objects based on a set of very thin layers, each created by a liquid or a plastic powder that can be solidified in small points to give shape to the object and therefore need heat, light or precisely applied chemical elements.
Several tests have already been carried out with this type of printer and the results have been positive, from women's shoes and firearms to human body organs:
THE EASY HARDWARE: ARDUINE
When talking about electronic product development hardware has always been, and is a fundamental part of designing the same, but it is also the element that often discourages independent developers because it is expensive in some cases because of damage easily, for requiring knowledge of low-level languages such as assembly language, and usually for the limited amount in the possession of developers that requires them to perform tests with minimal error margin.

In view of the points mentioned above, Massimo Banzi and his team developed the Arduino, which consists of a hardware platform that simplifies the creation and prototyping of electronics projects. Unlike the other platforms on the market, arduino is affordable, inexpensive and can even be handled by artists and amateurs with an interest in the area.
IT'S ONLY A HARDWARE
At first glance, yes, but this small platform is so powerful that it was responsible for projects related to home automation, robotics and incredible innovations in the electronics area. But the ease with which we can operate the Arduino, gives it an advantage over other competing “hardware”.
