The pinnacle of 3D printing is its effect on the field of rapid prototyping. The major advantage comes from the fact that designers can quickly materialize a part or object, which then could be tested in practice, and can be effortlessly modified if needed. This obviously cuts the development expenses and time by a significant percent. Moreover, it’s possible to create complex and precise shapes with the technology, which would take more time and would be resource intensive if done by older methods, for example manual or automatic machining.
