3D printing is a process that uses stereolithography (SLA) and fused deposition modeling (FDM) to create physical objects from digital models. The technology has been around for decades, but it's only in the last few years that 3D printers have become more affordable and accessible
3D printing is the hottest trend in prototyping. It can generate intricate 3D models that replicate real-world objects with precision and speed. The ability to print materials like metals and ceramics may open up new avenues for design innovation and manufacturing efficiency
But 3D printing isn't just for making prototypes 〞 it's also a powerful tool for creating functional products out of raw materials or products already made in the factory
3D printing is already being used by companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and GE Aviation to build aircraft parts faster than ever before. The technology is also being used to create prosthetic hands with lifelike movement capabilities, as well as dental implants that are stronger than steel plates thanks to their high level of detail and fine resolution.
