3D printers are able to utilize various materials, most being resins and metals, to create the final product. Through the simplicity of using a CAD (Computer Assisted Design) program, a user can easily and effectively create customized products for usage in both personal and industrial applications.
The future of 3D printing seems bright: technological advances has lowered the cost of a 3D printer from tens of thousands of dollars a few years ago to only a few hundred. On top of this, more 3D printers are becoming available for consumer usage, allowing us to print out custom designs from the comfort of our own homes.
