Never Heard of 3D Printing???
You might probably know the approach to how an object is manufactured by Subtractive manufacturing/ CNC Machining i.e by the process of removal of material in a particular method to obtain the desired shape and size by different cutting processes using a variety of tools. These refer to the conventional cutting and milling techniques performed on CNC Machine or if you are a Luddite probably a lathe machine.
On the other hand we have quite a new form of technology for the manufacture of products which is economical and efficient called 3D Printing/ Additive Manufacturing. On comparison, in 3D Printing, objects are manufactured by the addition of several layers of the material/ fused filament of very finite thickness, hence the name additive manufacturing.
In three words I think 3D PRINTING IS MAGIC. Is is the art of making any object or a design we see on a screen. 3D Printing became quite some buzz in the mid 2000s although it gained attention in 2006 due to its growing demand in industries.
Probably the most advanced technology developed by man, it is the most preferred tech for the production of complex shapes in a limited time frame. With the ever growing demand of the market, many forms of 3D Printing have emerged ranging from Stereolithography (SLA) to Binder Jetting to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS). However the most commonly and widely used technique is Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a prototype is worth a thousand pictures.
