“Three-dimensional printing makes it as cheap to create single items as it is to produce thousands and thus undermines economies of scale. It may have as profound an impact on the world as the coming of the factory did.” – The Economist, February 10, 2011
With advancements in printing technology, specifically 3D printing, creating three dimensional objects has become easier than ever before. 3D printing works by creating successive layers of material from a digital file and printing and compiling them with a materials printer. The technology has also made it possible to print different parts and assemblies of an element and add them together in a single build process.
In this post we look at the current state and potential uses of 3D printing.
