3D printing is a form of additive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is created by laying down successive layers of material. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other additive manufacturing technologies. 3D printers offer product developers the ability to print parts and assemblies made of several materials with different mechanical and physical properties in a single build process. Advanced 3D printing technologies yield models that can serve as product prototypes.
it remind me of the news I read on ted.com regarding printing a human kidney which is based on potentially massive impact of 3D printing technoligy. inspiring talk was made by Surgeon Anthony Atala
