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.
