Summary Excerpt Details

The application of 3D printing spans a wide range of industries. The term "3D printing," on the other hand, refers to a far larger range of methods. The rapid expansion of the industry illustrates the applicability of 3D printing. Engineers are pushing the boundaries of 3D printing concrete by precisely automating the pouring process using computers and robotics, while scientists are working on more intelligent ways to 3D print complex polymers. The major 3D printer manufacturers emerge, new technologies improve, and 3D modeling tools debut, propelling additive manufacturing to new heights.

The 3D printing process is also known as 'additive manufacturing' since it entails constructing products from the ground up rather than cutting or milling a shape in a mold. Its benefits include minimal waste and the ability to print elaborate shapes that would be impossible to produce otherwise, such as intricate lattice systems. Sporting goods companies, aviation and aerospace companies, and medical device companies are all ready to capitalize. It is widely used and valued in enterprises such as prototyping and manufacturing, medical, construction, art education, and arts and galleries.
