3D printing - technology of the future with a wide range of applications and creative freedom
The term 3D printing summarizes all additive manufacturing processes in which three-dimensional components are produced layer by layer from a shapeless starting material. The technology originally served the purpose of being able to create prototypes directly from computer-generated 3D models as quickly as possible. In the meantime, 3D printing has established itself in numerous industries due to its seemingly unlimited application possibilities. In addition to prototypes, which are still a relevant area of application for 3D printing today, master models and tool inserts made of plastic, metal or ceramics are also created in the industrial sector. Currently, new materials are constantly being developed, which means that the possible applications for 3D printing are increasing. Additive manufacturing has been in a phase of rapid growth for years. The development of versatile new materials and the constant optimization of manufacturing processes are constantly opening up new areas of application for 3D printing in a wide variety of industries. In the industrial environment in particular, the construction of prototypes is still an essential core application area, but the manufacture of products ready for series production, for example for the automotive industry or tool and mechanical engineering, is also becoming increasingly important.
Innovation through design freedom
The main advantages of 3D printing are clear when compared to conventional manufacturing processes: While ablative or forming techniques such as milling, forging, welding, drilling or soldering reach their limits in the manufacture of complex geometries, undercuts, cavities or internal ones can also be created using additive processes structures can be easily implemented. The freedom gained in the design in this way ensures cross-industry innovation impulses.
