3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing)

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects by successively depositing material layer by layer based on a digital design. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that often subtract material, 3D printing adds material precisely where needed, allowing for complex shapes and customized items. It's used in industries such as aerospace, healthcare, and automotive for producing prototypes, tools, and even final products. This technology offers rapid production, reduced waste, and the ability to create intricate structures that are difficult or impossible with conventional techniques.
