Surely you must have heard about the newly rising technology of 3D printing but, the fact that it’s been around for 40 years approximately will really shock you guys. It’s only recently that the potential of this technology has begun to be realized by many.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. The most amazing thing about this technology is that 3D printers seem to have no limitations beyond the designer’s imagination.
