Dennis Quaid's "Viewpoint" Examines How 3D Printing is Aiding Aerospace and Research Applications

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Actor Dennis Quaid is well-known around the world for his performances in blockbuster hits like "The Day After Tomorrow (2004)". As of late, the Texas native is using his talents as host for television's "Viewpoint". The educational program highlights a wide array of subjects to bring attention to topics that uniquely impact people worldwide. An upcoming episode will interview aerospace professionals to discuss how 3D printing technology is aiding the industry's research efforts.

Over the years, 3D printing has seen a lot of use since it made its first debut in the 1980s. From making jewelry and architectural models to tissues for human bodies, people consistently find new applications for 3D printers. Innovators in tech are continually finding new uses for 3D printing, including the aerospace industry.

Much like how architects can print 3D architectural models for building houses, aerospace technicians can utilize 3D printing to make models of prototypes to save costs on what could otherwise be expensive research materials. Aerospace 3D printing applications also include creating castings for fuel tanks, transmission housings, and lightweight engine parts.

3D printing remains to be one of the most impressive creations in modern times and continues to find new and unexpected uses with each passing day. More details about how 3D printing is helping the aerospace industry will be in the latest episode.

"Viewpoint" with Dennis Quaid is carefully reviewed before revealed to a larger viewing audience. The educational program is the recipient of multiple awards.
