3D printing is often associated with the medical industry (prosthetics) or engineering (creating models). But 3D printing applications currently apply to many more industries. As the technology advances, it will apply to many more.
.
Here are five 3D printing applications examples given in a recent article by TechAcute:
.
Faster 3D printing
.
Modern 3D printing can print a centimeter every minute. But when the technology was first invented in the 1980s, it could take up to a few days to finish a single project. TechAcute predicts the rate of print will increase even more as efficiencies are discovered.
.
Recovery efforts
.
Certain goods or services need to be physically brought to an area which has experienced a natural disaster. But what if that location could print some of those items? 3D printing applications in the infrastructure field should be taken seriously. TechAcute reports that a Nepal-based organization called Field Ready […]
