3D printer technology has proven to be one of the core technology revolutions
for the foreseeable future, the potential development of its heyday is a new
rapid prototyping technology, and it has recently been a widespread concern in
the community. 3D printing is primarily done using a digital technology
material printer. It can be used to create almost everything from smartphone
cases to human body parts models, and it is widely used. It can be used in the
field of;
ü
Households’ appliances
ü
Automotive accessories
ü
Communication technology
ü
Aerospace
ü
Military industries
These and many
more industries are gradually embracing 3D printing technology in application
to developing and producing high-tech products. Notably, professional 3D printers have become household products. It offers various benefits which
can never be ignored and therefore its popularity.
Recently, people
have become quite sensitive to environmental pollution and environmental
protection, deeming it quite essential. Therefore, one cause of 3D printing is it
has a much less negative impact on the environment than traditional
manufacturing.
How? Well, 3D
printing reduces carbon emissions. It is well known that traditional
manufacturing emits a lot of waste and pollution. On the other hand, 3D
printing positively impacts the environment by effectively reducing waste and
carbon dioxide generated during manufacturing.
Traditional manufacturing uses waste residue, wastewater, and gas produced by calcining, cutting, grinding, and other relevant processes. This has a severe negative impact on the environment. However, 3D printer mainly utilizes renewable and biodegradable materials produced by high-temperature melting through a power supply and spews out molten materials and accumulates layer by layer. The efficient utilization of raw materials is high without pollution from poisonous gas and chemical substances. Such materials are known to be thermoplastics like PLA, PETG, etc.
