Isn’t it like a childhood dream turned into reality for so many of us when one can create a physical object just from a simple visualisation or digital image?

 .

That is exactly what 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing is all about! It converts digital blueprint files into solid, tangible objects with the help of a layer-by-layer material process. It was primarily used to create prototypes and spare tools but it has gradually evolved into an advanced manufacturing technique that can potentially allow real-time, local, on-demand production of not only spare parts but also final products.

3D printing is currently possible with a range of materials including thermoplastics, composites, metals, alloys and ceramics. When 3D printing was first introduced in the 1980’s, it was naturally very expensive technology affordable to only the largest multinational companies. It gradually became more cost-effective and popular in the […]
