3D printing means the ‘fabrication of objects through the deposition of a material using a print head, nozzle or another printer technology’.
[ISO/ASTM 52900:2021, Additive manufacturing — General principles — Fundamentals and vocabulary]
We carry out 3D printing with metal. The filler wire is melted for this. From the production of prototypes to customised designs - 3D printing is flexible in its applications.
