3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, originated in the 1980s with the invention of stereolithography by Chuck Hull. This technology laid the foundation for modern 3D printing processes. Initially used for rapid prototyping in industries like aerospace and automotive, 3D printing has evolved rapidly. Its applications now span various sectors, including healthcare (prosthetics, implants), fashion (customized clothing, accessories), education (teaching aids), and even food (chocolates, pasta). Its ability to create complex geometries quickly and affordably continues to drive innovation across industries, making it a transformative technology in the manufacturing landscape.
We have employed this technology to design and print a number of useful everyday products that would simply have been uneconomical to manufacture in the past. |
