✦ Synopsis

The innovation of creating a three-dimensional object layer by layer using computer-aided design
(CAD) was originally termed rapid prototyping, a valuable technique that was developed in the
early 1980s for the purpose of manufacturing. In its early stages, rapid prototyping was typically
used to create models and prototype parts and offered quick realization of what engineers had
envisioned. Rapid prototyping was one of the preliminary processes that eventually culminated
in additive manufacturing (AM), which allows the production of actual printed parts, in addition
to models. The most notable advances the process offers are the development and production of
products with a noticeable reduction in both time and cost, facilitated by increased human interaction
and optimization of the product development cycle, thus making it possible to create almost
any shape that would otherwise be difficult to machine using conventional techniques. With the
emergence of additive manufacturing, scientists, engineers, and even students can rapidly build and
analyze models for the purpose of theoretical comprehension and related studies. In the medical
profession, doctors have been able to build models of various parts of the body to analyze injuries or
disease and to plan appropriate medical procedures. Additive manufacturing has also made it possible
for market researchers to gather the opinions of potential buyers of newly developed products
and for artists to explore their creativity.
