How Companies Can Benefit from 3D Printing
As 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, rapidly expands into almost every industry, it's raising the bar for companies everywhere. Additive manufacturing is often used to prepare prototypes and is frequently preferable when manufacturing individual or small batch components. Additionally, additive manufacturing assembles components in discrete layers, and, as a result, complex interior geometries are easier to manufacture compared to traditional manufacturing techniques. As a result, additive manufacturing can cheaply and quickly manufacture parts that would otherwise be expensive and difficult to make using traditional manufacturing techniques (e.g., subtractive manufacturing). As additive manufacturing machines are becoming cheaper, the process is becoming exceedingly more ubiquitous in most every industry.

For example, when utilizing medical scanning equipment, a medical office can manufacture custom hearing aids to perfectly fit a patient's ear.
