Speed, flexibility, and innovation—these are the key principles driving 3D printing today. But how are they actually applied in the field?
For speed, 3D printing is incredibly fast compared to traditional methods. An aeronautics facility needing a component can receive the 3D file in seconds, even from across the world. Printing speed can also be optimized by adjusting nozzle size and limiting Z-axis dimensions.
As for flexibility, 3D printing creates structures without adhesive or external support—just the precision of math. These structures can be disassembled and recycled, like Venice's Striatus Bridge.
Innovation is another cornerstone. As 3D printing evolves, it allows for new curves, angles, and details. The medium is a blank canvas for designers to bring sophisticated visions to life, benefiting innovators across industries, from aeronautics to other engineering sectors.
