Three dimensional printing is designed to give the maximum possible accuracy and adaptability in producing prototypes and finished parts. There are a number of 3D printing machines available today that are cheap, simple and lead to generation of new applications. 3D printing produces parts very quickly and is a very cheap process. Three dimensional printing offers the advantages of speedy fabrication and it is probably the fastest of all RP (Rapid Prototyping) methods.

This technology enables manufacturers and industrial designers to reduce product-development cycles and noticeably shorten the time-to-market the new products in many industries. The functionality extends to solutions which are used in the automotive, electronics, toy, consumer goods, jewelry and footwear industries in all over the world. It also provides a cost-effective solution for building models and parts that are remarkably smooth and durable, with fine details and an exceptional surface finish. 3D printing opens up a whole new world of product design, which is used by students to create interesting and complex shapes and objects to really handle them, test them and truly evaluate them.

The 3D printers are used to create 3D models for various fields of architecture, automotive industries, education and medical sciences. These models are used for crucial designing of engines by the famous automobile industries and the mobile phone leaders. In medical science, these are used to produce Prosthetic limbs which help the disabled patients to continue further with their lives. Thus there is no field which remains untouched by the usage of three dimensional printing for quick development of prototypes.
