3D PRINTING

3D Printing is a manufacturing process in which materials are laid down, layer by layer, to create a three-dimensional object. 3D Printing permits physical objects to be produced from digital files containing three-dimensional data. This data can be produced in a number of ways such as by computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs and by 3D scanners... 3D Printing is becoming faster, more flexible, more efficient, and its range of applications is also expanding. For example, 3D printed homes have been produced at Eindhoven in the Netherlands, and alternative ‘meat' products have been created using plant-based proteins using 3D printing methods... 3D Printing offers many advantages such as allowing designers to rapidly transform concepts into 3D models or prototypes. It facilitates fast design changes, allowing manufacturers to make different products on demand in small batches. Other benefits include savings in raw materials, improved inventory and..
