-
Bošnjaković Gordana
Abstract
In the last few decades, 3D printing has made a technological breakthrough that has revolutionized the way design and manufacturing are done in various fields. This chapter explores 3D printing applications with special emphasis on the widely adopted technologies that have already found their applications in various industries, including fused deposition modeling (FDMFDM), vat photopolymerizationphotopolymerization, and selective laser sintering (SLSSLS). Special attention is given to the industrial application of 3D printing technologies in medicine, construction, food, and fashion industries, where 3D printing provides rapid prototyping and production of customized solutions. Materials used in 3D printing are described as well as their environmental aspects, sustainability, and recycling. In addition, the existing challenges and limitations of these technologies are addressed while searching for future directions and developments, such as the function of artificial intelligence in 3D printing. This chapter outlines the position of 3D printing technology in the rising trends in manufacturing.
