BIO PRINTING AN APPLICATION OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

By eliminating production steps and using substantially less material, ‘additive’ processes could be able to reduce waste and save more than 50% of energy compared to todays subtractive manufacturing processes, and reduce material costs by up to 90%. The use of additive manufacturing can potentially benefit a wide range of industries including defense, aerospace, automotive, biomedical, consumer products, and metals manufacturing. In this project, we concentrate on the application of 3D printing in medical area at particular. The objective of this project is to discover the technological advancements in 3-D printing that could greatly affect several aspects of the medical industry.
