3-D printing and remote manufacturing
Three-dimensional printing allows the creation of solid structures
from a digital computer file, potentially revolutionizing the economics
of manufacturing if objects can be printed remotely in the home or
office. The process involves layers of material being deposited on top
of each other in to create free-standing structures from the bottom up.
Blueprints from computer-aided design are sliced into cross-section for
print templates, allowing virtually created objects to be used as models
for “hard copies” made from plastics, metal alloys or other materials.
