JAKARTA – On January 5, 2019, at the United States Cultural Center, @merica, Pacific Place, Founder of the UI Vocational Communication Digital Clinic, Devie Rahmawati with Stanley Wangsadiharja (Saft7Robotics & Form O), Wadi (SWE), presented information about Industry 4.0: What’s the future of 3D Printing?. This activity was also supported by the presentation of 3D printing products made by Indonesian, BikinBot.
“3D printing technology is not the technology of the future (future), but technology now (now). Various industries have benefited from the presence of technology that has enabled the decentralization of production. There will be a process of environmental preservation, because the goods produced are really in accordance with the demand. There is no longer mass product production, which then becomes wasteful and requires large storage space, “said Devie Rahmawati, DAAD alumni, Germany.
“Another honey (benefit) from this technology is that it will produce a lot of new jobs including artists who will have the opportunity to produce ideas that can be directly executed to be produced with 3D printing machines, which in the West already have at the household level. More experts are also needed to master the engine for engine maintenance and continue to create 3D Printing machines and design applications, “added Devie who once gave a Public Lecture at the Faculty of Human & Health Sciences, Swansea, Wales.
“From a series of benefits of this machine, 3D Printing also has the opportunity to spread poisons (losses) when used with unproductive motives. For example, in the future food can be printed in accordance with the wishes of consumers, where illicit goods such as drugs can even be printed according to the target market, for example the unique shape of the target children. Plus the production of sharp weapons or firearms like pistols etc. The issue of safety and health of products that can be produced independently by humans is another challenge as well as the copyright issue of a product. Plus the potential for social tsunami from this technology that makes each individual more individualistic. Predicted by one’s independence, will encourage more people to feel lonely which can lead to an increase in suicide rates. Studies show that in the past 5 years, deaths caused by illness due to lack of movement and suicide compared to deaths from war. This technology has the opportunity to continue to increase the trend, “added Devie, who is also the Head of the UI Communication Vocational Study Program.
Stanley said that he and his team had used this technology to design buildings of various architectural designs. While Wadi explained how the world of health, such as dental health that is already quite advanced, uses 3D Printing technology for patient comfort. (vocational public relations)
