3D printing is here to stay because it’s efficient and has a lot of industrial applications. Prototyping, developing and material experimentation are just a few of the application cases well known by most of people. Here we name some of the most relevant application cases in 20 different industries so you can get inspired for innovation in your company:
1 – Architecture
It allows to build models, infrastructures and even the whole house, applying new materials and designs and accelerating the time of construction.
2 – Food
You can customize food printing and get it on-demand with a great number of options and applications in specialized diets.
3 – Pharmacology
It’s possible to manufacture in accordance with patient’s needs by adjusting the distribution of ingredients that cannot be adjusted in conventional manufacturing. There is a regulation process for coming, but this will be one of the most important application.
4 – Art
This is one of the most famous and well implemented application, so artists can design and print their job in several materials.
5 – Packaging design
Printing technology can develop new designs, test it and customize it at lower prices than any other traditional process.
6 – Medical implants
By 3D printing it’s possible to adapt medical implants to each persons’s anatomy and improve the recovery time and quality of life of the patients.
7 – Sustainable transportation
From printing bicycle accessories to the whole bicycle, 3D printing and material innovation will improve sustainable transport in the cities by providing new commodities to environmental aware consumers.
8 – Aviation
Aviation industries will not only test innovation by this technological trend, they will also reduce costs and save fuel by printing lighter components with 3D printing.
9 – Consumer electronics
It’s possible to print the entire device as a single body using different materials and eliminating assembly process. ¿Have you ever think about your dreamy smartphone? If your answer is yes, just look at the future, because 3D printing opens a new market about consumer co-creation and devices customization according to consumer needs.
10 – Fashion
Production acceleration and consumer co-creation are some of the advantages of 3D printing in this industry thanks to material innovation.
