Engineering and the Environment
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file by layering materials such as plastic, metal, or ceramics. This innovative technology has the potential to revolutionize traditional manufacturing processes by allowing for more efficient use of resources and reducing waste, which connects to resource extraction and depletion and the future of sustainable engineering practices.
