3D printing is a technology that enables creating or printing real objects from 3D designs. It is also called desktop fabrication or additive manufacturing. The 3D designs are made in designing software such as CAD and are usually saved in STL format. Designs may also be downloaded from the Internet. In 3D printing, the objects are printed layer-by-layer. Some of the major 3D printing technologies include SLS (selective laser sintering), FDM (fused deposition modeling), and SLA (stereolithograhpy). It is increasingly being used for producing complex tools and molds, and is also being used as an important design and prototyping tool. Various materials can be used for 3D printing, such as polymers, ceramics and metals. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of 3D printing. Different approaches, evaluations and methodologies of 3D printing have been included herein. This book is an essential guide for all those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
