Abstract

The next new trend called additive fabrication manufacturing was as large as the mobile phone industry. 3D printing is also called as additive design technology. 3D printers print objects from a real 3D physical model physical prototype. In 3D printers, the printout consists of plastic, ceramic, nylon and over one hundred other components layers by layer (fabrication with additives). Factory, industrial design, art, clothes, furniture, architecture and building, automobile, dental and medical, aerospace, geographic details, education, structural engineering, and many other fields of study are where 3D printing found to be useful. In any area of implementation, it was found to be a simple and cost-effective approach. Applications for 3D printing are on the rise, and this is an important method that you can search for. We will discuss in this paper the way 3D printing works and existing and potential implementations.
