A Review Paper on 3D Printing Technology: Processes, Materials, Applications and its Potential Application Opportunities and Challenges Faced in Pakistan 3D Printing technology

Abstract

3D printing or additive manufacturing process is known as part of the digital manufacturing process, involves gradually adding materials to a geometric representation to manufacture physical objects. A quickly developing technology is 3D printing. The world now uses 3D printing extensively in the many fields such as automotive, locomotive, healthcare, agriculture mass customization, aviation sectors and manufacture of any form of open source designs using 3D printing technology are becoming more common. 3D printing process produce an object directly from a computer-aided design model by depositing material layer by layer. The varieties of 3D printing technologies, the materials utilised in 3D printing, the applications for 3D printing technology, and the difficulties associated with adopting 3D printing technologies in Pakistan are all covered in this article
