Tboox Gift Creation believe that 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing is the most common words you can see in media recently. Because of 3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing, you can produce yoyo (toys), shoes, spare part of washing machine, transplantable human tissues or any other things you can imagine.

We live in an age that is witness to what many are calling the Third Industrial Revolution. 3D printing, more professionally called additive manufacturing, moves us away from the mass production line, and will bring us to a new reality of customizable, one-off production.

3D printers use a variety of very different types of additive manufacturing technologies, but they all share one core thing in common, they create a three dimensional object by building it layer by successive layer, until the entire object is complete. It’s much like printing in two dimensions on a sheet of paper, but with an added third dimension.

3D printing isn’t just cheaper, it’s also greener. Based on Michigan Techonological University researchers, they found that making the items on a basic 3D printer took from 41% to 64% less energy than making them in a factory and shipping them to other country. In addition, 3D printing can save energy by using less raw material.

According to researchers at Canalys, the size of the 3D printing market has already reached US$2.5 billion globally in 2013, and will grow to US$3.8 billion in 2014. It will continuing to experience rapid growth over the next four or five years. Therefore, Tboox Gift Creation believe that 3D Printing will change future world, and the future is now.

Let’s take a look on how 3D Printing works and how far the technology has come since its recent inception.
