![]() Environmentally FriendlyĪs this technology reduces the amount of material wastage used this process is inherently environmentally friendly. However, the environmental benefits are extended when you consider factors such as improved fuel efficiency from using lightweight 3D printed parts. Advanced HealthcareģD printing is being used in the medical sector to help save lives by printing organs for the human body such as livers, kidneys and hearts. Further advances and uses are being developed in the healthcare sector providing some of the biggest advances from using the technology. Like with almost any other process there are also drawbacks of 3D printing technology which should be considered before opting to use this process. ![]() While 3D Printing can create items in a selection of plastics and metals the available selection of raw materials is not exhaustive. ![]() This is due to the fact that not all metals or plastics can be temperature controlled enough to allow 3D printing. In addition, many of these printable materials cannot be recycled and very few are food safe. Restricted Build SizeģD printers currently have small print chambers which restrict the size of parts that can be printed. ![]() Anything bigger will need to be printed in separate parts and joined together after production.
