How 3D printing works:

Thinner layers allow for more complicated and intricate output. Resolution of the printer is also a function of the materials being used to create the output.
Some opportunities & threats of 3D printing:
- l Assembly lines or assembly stations can be eliminated.
- l More easier on-demand customization
- l Eliminates the need of making moulds
- l Better inventory management
- l Less warehouse space
- l Fewer labor personnel
- l Less waste of raw material.
