Abstract

The study aimed to deepen understanding of additive manufacturing, covering techniques, benefits, trends, and challenges. This knowledge was applied to refine a commercial 3D printer prototype and establish guidelines for practical 3D design. Key aspects included additive manufacturing principles, prototyping, and design, with data collected through model assessments and 3D design processes. An analysis of 3D printing's evolution revealed its extensive impact on society, economy, geopolitics, security, and the environment. A comparative evaluation of existing 3D printing solutions considered costs, technical specs, strengths, and limitations, likening its transformative potential to past technological revolutions. The goal is to enhance 3D printer models through in-depth literature review, identifying areas for improvement and commercialization readiness.
