3D printing, pioneered by Charles Hull in 1986, has evolved from a prototyping tool into a transformative technology with vast applications. This process allows designers to create complex objects layer by layer, with outputs ranging from everyday items like cups and clothes to essential medical instruments. The advantages of 3D printing include mass production efficiency, customization potential, and the ability to address shortages in critical resources, such as organs for transplants or food in underserved regions. The future of 3D printing holds promise for solving global challenges.
