3D printing is a form of technology that is currently used in industries a lot more than people seem to be able to realize. While many still think of it as a bit of a gimmick, the fact is that 3D printing is completely revolutionary. As such, it has been adopted by people all over the world with the intention of using it to create a number of different products for different markets. This article will look into more detail about the specific industries that have been most influenced.
Do you think that it is possible to 3D print an entire building? If you answered yes, then you’re absolutely right. 3D printing houses is already very much a thing, and as such, the construction industry has jumped on board. When printing concrete, there needs to be a large nozzle for a big flow rate, but it can still be done. It is great for when you need to lay down concrete layers in a quick manner. The patterns and shapes printed out can be incredibly complex as well, thanks to the intricate designs that 3D printers are able to create.
Yes, even the clothing industry has started making use of 3D printing as recently Adidas launched a range of trainers that had a 3D printed midsole. These have been created in large volumes and are selling quite well despite the fact they don’t follow the mainstream manufacturing process that other shoe companies tend to follow. Adidas has surpassed their original goal with these trainers, and as such, it looks as though this may become a more popular means of making them.
