3D PRINTING
3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a technology which was first
developed at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the 1980’s.
It is the process of making a physical object from a three-dimensional
physical model. In this technology, we use the 3D digital data on the
computer to build 3D objects by adding layers of material which could
be polymers, metals, concrete or even plant and human tissue. 3D
3D Printing technology
Printing helps to bridge the gap between ideas and images on a page
or screen and the creation of those ideas/images in the physical 3-Dimensional world.
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
3D Printed equipments
prosthetics.
Construction: It is widely used in the construction industry; model houses can
be built in a day using 3D Printing.

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. 3D Printed Jewelry
