3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a revolutionary technology that enables the creation of parts by taking a 3D CAD file and adding the material layer by layer to create the final part. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods that involve subtracting material through processes like CNC or laser cutting, 3D printing builds objects by adding material only where material is needed. This process allows for intricate and complex designs that may be challenging or impossible to achieve through conventional means. With applications ranging from prototyping and product development to personalized healthcare and aerospace, 3D printing has emerged as a versatile tool, transforming the way we design, manufacture, and innovate in various industries.

With the limitless design possibilities of 3D printing you are able to design and produce custom parts that are not possible through conventional manufacturing methods. For example, 3D printing enables part consolidation by combining multiple parts into one single print, produces internal chambers for cooling and liquid flow, and accommodates designs featuring complex geometries for reducing weight or optimizing structures.
