MIT Course Challenges Students to Reinvent 3-D Printing
scienmag.com | May 11, 2016
It's been more than 30 years since the invention of 3-D printing, and yet in some ways the technology is still a frontier of unexplored potential.
Three-dimensional printing — and additive manufacturing in general — is the process of depositing material, layer by layer, in patterns determined by computer software, to precisely fabricate a three-dimensional object. The technology has been used to make hip and dental implants, as well as architectural models and aerospace tools, including a socket wrench that astronauts recently printed aboard the International Space Station.
