3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file. It involves building up layers of material until the desired shape is achieved. Here's an example of a 3D printer in action:
While 3D printing may seem as though it is new, and technologically innovative, it is an old technology.
3D printing has revolutionized the way we create and manufacture products. With traditional manufacturing techniques, creating complex designs was often difficult or impossible, and it was often expensive to create prototypes or produce small batches of products. 3D printing has changed all that, allowing designers and engineers to quickly and easily create complex designs and produce prototypes at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. Additionally, 3D printing has the potential to significantly reduce waste, as products can be produced on-demand and there is no need for excess inventory. As the technology continues to improve, we can expect to see even more innovative uses of 3D printing in the future.
