Printing has long been confined to the realm of the second dimension, printing out reports, essays and the like on paper, metal, and other flat objects. Printing has now vaulted into the third dimension, as new 3D printers are producing items that can be used to create a plethora of useful items.

While the current growth of 3D printing — also known as additive manufacturing — is due to the development of customized parts, prototyping, product designing, and concept modeling, the technology is capable of doing so much more. In fact, it is set to disrupt entire industries including consumer products, healthcare, automotive, construction, and aerospace.
