A sustainable innovation for product component prototyping with 3D printing techniques
Authors: Aira Patrice Ong and Nilo Bugtai
Abstract:
Transformative innovations has been shaping the manufacturing industry gearing towards sustainable development. One technology gaining traction is the three-dimensional (3-D) printing or additive manufacturing. Industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to healthcare and consumer goods are utilizing this technique to create beneficial product solutions. This paper analyzed the environmental impacts of 3-D printing techniques on product prototyping and compared it to the traditional manufacturing process. Furthermore, the future developments and directions of additive manufacturing are discussed.
