3D printing is a unique form of production that is related to traditional rapid prototyping technology. 3D printers are generally faster, more reasonable and easier to use than other additive production technologies. While prototyping dominates current uses, 3D printers offer tremendous potential for trade consumer uses.
APPLICATIONS:
- This technology is normally used in the jewelry, footwear, industrial design, automotive and medical industries.
- Standard applications contain design visualization, prototyping/CAD, metal casting, architecture, education, geospatial, and health care.
- Other applications would include reconstructing fossils in paleontology, replicating ancient and precious artifacts in archaeology, reconstructing bones and body parts in forensic pathology and reconstructing heavily damaged proof acquired from crime scene investigations.
- More recently, the use of 3D printing technology for artistic appearance has been suggested.
- 3D printing technology is presently being studied by biotechnology firms and university for possible use in tissue engineering applications where organs and body parts are built using inkjet techniques.
