This video obtained from the Washington Post explains what 3D printing is and how it is used. It also mentions why 3D printers are used and its significance. In the video, the experienced speakers explain how 3D printers are beneficial and what the expected future looks like in the presence of 3D printers. The information seems reliable as the video was recently published within the past year. The speakers in the video are those with a title such as the US Managing Director or Partner Support Engineer. Even though the video is short, it was clear and concise. It was helpful for the research paper as it allowed for the determination of what 3D printers are while the printer was being shown directly with an explanation which helped provide a better understanding of 3D printers and allowed for a better visualization of how the printers are processed. The video covered a lot of the topics that will be written about in the research essay; therefore, the video is relevant for the topic.

This article from the New York University Tandon School of Engineering focuses on the security aspect of 3D printing, specifically cybersecurity. The article focused on the 3D association with cybersecurity through the printing orientation and insertion of fine defects. The article mentions how the products formed during the 3D printing process come from a computer aided design and how there is a large possibility for the strength of the design to change. Hacking and how there can be defects in the objects that are printed is also noted in the article. This article is credible as it comes from a university, specifically their engineering research department. This indicates that the information from this article has been researched upon; therefore, the information is reliable. The information contained in this article is highly relevant to the security concerns of 3D printing and can be a great source to obtain information to analyze and relate to the security problems with 3D printing.

This scholarly journal article discusses the legal aspects of 3D printing. It specifically mentions infringement, both direct and indirect infringement. The article mentions patents a lot to indicate how important it is to claim that the design belongs to a certain individual. The scholarly journal article also discusses computer-aided designs (CAD) and how these digital files can be easily transmitted online to the public; therefore, the individuals’ designs could be used by another individual. This source is very good for looking at the security concerns associated with 3D printing as it goes into great detail about the various infringements that can be posed. The scholarly journal article was also written not too long ago in 2016; therefore, the information is up-to-date and reliable. The article is also scholarly and comes from a student at the University of Houston Law Center. At the end of the scholarly journal, the author Ebrahim Y. Tabrez acknowledges his professors and the Deans at the University for their insight and assistance in writing this journal article. This indicates how he was able to get help from those who have a different kind of knowledge about the topic which aided in the construction of the journal article. As he thanks those around him in the University of Houston Law Center and includes the references at the end of the article, it indicates that the information is reliable.
Marcovitz, H. (2017). What is the future of 3D printing?. San Diego, CA: Reference Point Press.
In the What is the Future of 3D Printing? book, there is a main focus on what 3D printing has been used for and will continue to be used for. It gives a brief description of what 3D printing is which will be useful in the introduction and background section of the research paper. It also looks at the use of 3D printing in terms of transportation, medicine, homes, and launching in space. It shows how versatile 3D printing is and how it can be used in many different applications. The book was written this year in 2017, so the information is recent and relevant. The book notes that the author has family members who work as a computer-aided design modeler which indicates that the information found in the book is based on fact as someone who constantly works with 3D printers is related to the author, giving the author some credibility.

This book is good as it is concise and has easy to understand explanations of 3D printing, allowing for a better understanding of three dimensional printing. The book covers multiple topics that can be used in the background information section of the essay to give the readers a better understanding of what 3D printing is and what makes it unique compared to traditional printers. Some of the topics in the book that can be used in the background section of the research paper are the following: what 3D printing is, the 3D printing process, and what it is like to be working with a 3D printer. The book also has additional information that can be useful in analyzing 3D printers in the research paper such as the benefits and risks of 3D printing as well as what can be expected from 3D printers in the future. This book is good because it is very recent as it was just published in the beginning of this year. This means that all the information in the book is updated and reliable.
