3D printing

maker

The process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file by layering material.

expanded

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, involves the creation of physical objects from digital models by successively adding material layer by layer. This technology is crucial in various fields such as prototyping, manufacturing, and medical devices owing to its ability to produce complex shapes with precision and efficiency.

examples

3D printing was used to create custom prosthetic limbs with precise measurements of 80 mm x 120 mm x 200 mm (3.15 in x 4.72 in x 7.87 in).

This is commonly used in the medical industry to provide personalized medical solutions and improve patient outcomes.

Rapid prototyping of automotive components achieving a tolerance of ± 0.1 mm (± 0.004 in).

This process is frequent in the automotive industry for testing design iterations quickly before mass production.
