The major applications of 3D Printing are:
Education: It is widely used in the education sector. It prepares
the students for their future by allowing them to create
prototypes without tooling and extensive work. It helps the
students to design and produce models they can hold and feel.
3D Printing in Education
Rapid Prototyping (RP) Method: It is used to create models to
quickly test a new product before mass production. 3D Printing
can be termed as a RP method.
3D Prototype
Medicine: In the last several years,
3D Printing applications have increased manifold in the world
of medicine. They range from bioprinting – where biological
materials like cells and growth factors are fused to create
tissue-like structures replicating their natural equivalents – to
medical devices like prosthetics. With 3D Printing, prosthetics
3D Printed equipments can be modeled, customised and printed at lower costs and
quickly.
Construction: It is widely used in the construction industry;
model houses can be built in a day using 3D Printing.
3D Model for house
Art and Jewelry: The use of 3D Printing has led the jewelry makers to experiment with non-
traditional designs which were not possible with the traditional methods of jewelry making.
It is now possible to make individual exclusive pieces or customised pieces of jewelry at a
lesser cost with 3D Printing materials like PLA (polylactic acid filament), gold or platinum. This
technology has inspired artists from all over the world. Artists can create beautiful intricate
pieces with metal 3D Printing.
