In 3D printing a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. This type of technology is a form of additive manufacturing technology. 3D printers are generally very easy to use, they are becoming more affordable and faster with each new day. 3D printers enable developers and artists the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different physical and mechanical properties in a single build process. With advanced 3D printing technologies the models produced in the process can also be used as product prototypes.
The sale of 3D printers has skyrocketed in the recent years, while the cost has gone down rapidly. There are many fields in which this technology can be applied. 3D printing is most commonly used for making footwear and jewelry, but it can also be used in construction (AEC), engineering, architecture, industrial design as well as in aerospace, automotive and dental and medical industries.
Have you 3D printed anything lately?
