3D printing is a cost-effective and efficient process for creating three dimensional solid objects by adding layers of materials using computer-aided design (CAD), so it is also referred to as additive manufacturing. In contrast to subtractive manufacturing processes that remove materials to create parts, 3D printing enables complex parts to be shaped using less material thereby saving significant manufacturing costs.
The applications for 3D printing are numerous. Typically, it is perfect solution for building prototypes and small batch production. That is because 3D printing can help improve product development process and shorten the time for working on complex designs.
