3D Printing
3D printing is a newer manufacturing process that allows for the creation of a product from a raw material. It uses fiber/filament material that can be made of many substances. The 3D Printer uses the fiber/filament material to build up a physical product in many thin layers of material deposits from a 3D digital model.
