Introduction to 3D printing
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, revolutionizes product development by enabling rapid prototyping and on-demand production of end-use parts. It offers unmatched design flexibility, faster iteration cycles, and more efficient material usage than traditional methods. This section explains the fundamentals of 3D printing, its evolution, and its role in modern manufacturing. We also examine its key benefits and limitations in comparison to subtractive and formative techniques.
