3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
3D printing is used to manufacture moulds for making jewelry, and even the jewelry itself. [102] 3D printing is becoming popular in the customisable gifts industry, with products such as personalized models of art and dolls, [103] in many shapes: in metal or plastic, or as consumable art, such as 3D printed chocolate.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model used for 3D printing. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D scanning is a process of collecting digital data on the shape and appearance of a real object, creating a digital model based on it.
A 3D printed rocket engine successfully launched a rocket to space in 2017, [3] and to orbit in 2018. [4] An almost 90% 3d-printed rocket was launched to space on 23 March 2023 but failed to achieve orbit. In May 30 2024 The startup Angnikul cosmos,(a private startup) in India makes a breakthrough by 3d printing a cryogenic rocket engine from ...
Bambu Lab's first product, the Bambu Lab X1, is a desktop 3D printer that launched on Kickstarter in 2022. The campaign raised $7 million, making it one of the most successful 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns of all time. [3] [4] Time Magazine named the X1 one of the Best Inventions of 2022. [3]
The first 3D printing (additive manufacturing) was used in 1983 by an American inventor, Charles (Chuck) W. Hull, to make industrial components.It is unknown when 3D printing technology entered India, but the earliest reference to 3D printing in India is when Imaginarium company started making jewellery via 3D printing technology. 3D printing has been rapidly used in many industries in India ...
Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP; originally Continuous Liquid Interphase Printing) is a proprietary method of 3D printing that uses photo polymerization to create smooth-sided solid objects of a wide variety of shapes using resins.
Research on the health and safety hazards of 3D printing is new and in development due to the recent proliferation of 3D printing devices. In 2017, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has published a discussion paper on the processes and materials involved in 3D printing, potential implications of this technology for occupational safety and health and avenues for controlling ...
