3D printing is a versatile technology that has emerged as an alternative to traditional manufacturing technology. It involves a process for producing objects by adding or layering selected materials together. It is used to create complex geometric structures by integrating materials and functions. Basic 3D printing technology helps produce customized items using one material only. However, now it is also possible to create heterogenous objects using two or more materials with the help of advanced 3D printing technology. It is increasingly being used in different industries such as pharmaceuticals and drug delivery, product design and manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and tissue engineering. It is specifically used for creating lightweight prototypes. This book traces the progress of 3D printing and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective about this upcoming field.
