3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that creates an object by depositing thin layers of material on top of each other. The material can range from plastic, metal or cement in liquid or powdered form. This is different from traditional manufacturing processes such as casting or injection molding where you first need to create a die and either stamp or mold the object from the die. As a result, 3-D printing provides number of advantages to manufacturers that otherwise could not be achieved in the past. That is why 3-D printing has been gaining popularity with all types of manufacturers in the last decade. Below we describe number of benefits 3D printing provides.
