1. Prototyping and Product Design: 3D printing can be used to create prototypes and product models in fields like engineering, architecture, fashion, and industrial design.
2. Science and Research: 3D printing offers a practical method for creating experimental models and data visualization tools.
3. Biology and Medicine: Medical science has a growing interest in 3D printing. It can be used to create prosthetics, medical devices, implants, and anatomical models for surgical training.
4. Art and Design: It helps artists to be more creative by giving them a new perspective of creating art and design.
5. Classroom Materials: 3D printing creates models that are durable and can be used in experiments in the classroom.
6. Historical Reproduction: 3D printing can be used to recreate historical artifacts and archaeological finds.
7. Architecture: 3D printed building models which can be used by architects to evaluate the efficiency of the design instead of relying on a CAD model.
8. Geology: 3D printed geological models that can be used for earthquake simulations, flood analysis, and groundwater studies.
