Abstract

3D printing also called digital fabrication technology can create three dimensions of physical objects from a geometrical representation by successfully adding the needed materials. It is one of the fast unfolding technology that is generally used all around the globe and has brought awareness globally mostly in the engineering field. 3D printing technologies have various challenges such as low dimension accuracy, size of distribution, and little options of materials, build failure, customization of fit and design among others. This paper is aimed at spreading the awareness of 3D printing technologies in the area of engineering and the benefit of using it especially in prototyping of your design. 3D printing technologies have been of great benefit to the industries with its ability to lower costs, reduce waste with addictive manufacturing, improve lives and create tangible design and product testing with better quality
