A REVIEW OF 3D PRINTING TECHNIQUES

Abstract: This study paper examines 3D printing, the many materials used for it, and their qualities, a hot topic in contemporary technology. Applications of 3D printing in manufacturing play a significant role in our daily lives. Different advanced manufacturing technologies have evolved throughout time.

Recently, additive manufacturing, commonly referred to as three-dimensional (3D) printing, has been applied in a wide range of industries. Comparatively speaking, 3D printing takes less time than conventional manufacturing methods. Using raw materials, components are built up layer by layer in this process. These days, many items are manufactured and constructed using this approach.
