ABSTRACT
3D printing is the process of constructing a three-dimensional model by adding material automatically rather than removing material as in case of drilling or machining operatsons. This technique is also known as additive manufacturing, which was first implemented at the end of the 1980s and its first use for commercial operation was started as a quick prototyping tool in the automotive and aerospace industries. The only factor that stops this from happening faster is the fairly long time it takes to 3D print something that can just as easily be manufactured using conventional methods. 3D printing has made it possible to improve certain products beyond the capabilities of traditional manufacturing processes such as jet engine components. However, on a general level, it would be an abstract statement to suggest that a certain 3D printed product is better or worse than its traditional counterpart.
