3D printing or additive manufacturing denotes the process of creating solid objects by adding material in layers. FMD (Fused Deposition Modeling) is the process of pushing a filament, which is heated to its melting point and extruded in a thin stream layer by layer, to create a three-dimensional object. Almost all 3D desktop printers are FDM printers. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) & Stereolithograpy (SLA) are other highly utilized methods for 3D printing Tec Imagine being able to create anything from coffee mugs to human organs with a single technology. 3D printing has the potential to improve people's lives in every aspect. From everyday basics (kid toys, accessories, crafts, household and office supplies) to items as complex as the next generation implants and prosthetics, 3D printing motivates and inspires creation and innovation. This progressive technology will bring medical, industrial and consumer revolution. As use increases, cost will lower and it will become more commonplace. We are just beginning to explore more advanced possibilities for life-saving applications, custom created food, printing tools and generating parts in space.
