| dc.description.abstract | 3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is
created by laying down successive layers of material. It is also known as rapid prototyping, is a
mechanized method whereby 3D objects are quickly made on a reasonably sized machine
connected to a computer containing blueprints for the object. The 3D printing concept of custom
manufacturing is exciting to nearly everyone. This revolutionary method for creating 3D models
with the use of inkjet technology saves time and cost by eliminating the need to design; print and
glue together separate model parts. Now, you can create a complete model in a single process
using 3D printing. The basic principles include materials cartridges, flexibility of output, and
translation of code into a visible pattern. 3D Printers are machines that produce physical 3D
models from digital data by printing layer by layer. It can make physical models of objects either
designed with a CAD program or scanned with a 3D Scanner. It is used in a variety of industries
including jewellery, footwear, industrial design, architecture, engineering and construction,
automotive, aerospace, dental and medical industries, education and consumer products. | en_US |
