What is 3D printing and how does it work 

?
1. Assess the main impact of 3D printing on the way we produce.
3D printing facilitates the work in many cases but also comes
back to remove many jobs in some trade
2. Explain the process of additive manufacturing.
Additive manufacturing allows designers to create complex
parts for machines, airplanes and cars at a fraction of the cost
and time of standard means like forging, molding and sculpting.
3. What is the main benefit of additive manufacturing when
applied to machines, airplanes and cars ?
Additive manufacturing will allow for cost reduction,
particularly through savings in the weight of the capsules.

professionals and also individuals
5. List the two steps mentioned by the speakers to create your
own design.
 The first step in 3D printing is create a blueprint of the
object you want to print.
 Once you have finished design it’s time to sen dis to the
printer.
6. How does 3D printing work ?
Working on a FDM process, in other words Fused Deposition
Modeling, the 3D printer will deposit material with the help of
filaments which, superimposed, will create a 3D and solid
structure
7. Give the two materials mentioned in the video.
Plastic and bioplastic
