Browsing: 3D Printing
The benefits of 3D printing – or additive manufacturing – are beginning to revolutionise many industries. It is triggering a change in the way both small businesses and industry giants build and design their products. 3D printers allow for the creation of prototypes, models and products out of materials such as plastics and metals. Companies and individuals can now rapidly prototype ideas for new parts or products and the sector also promises to cut down costs on the creation of products through savings in supply-chains, product waste and storage.
