3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing
Additive manufacturing technologies perform the construction process by adding layers of material from a 3D geometry. Mass production by 3D printing reduces the time to market of products, eliminates the need to invest in manufacturing tools, facilitates the creation of functional designs regardless of their geometry, allows the design of complex components and facilitates constant design review and updating.
