3Introduction:In this new world of technology the 3D printing has travelled from theoretical to reality.They have turned cheaper in production and various models have been available for sale alongwith designing of products. Moreover they have been becoming common in the home. The report demonstrates the 3D printing as the additive manufacturing. It analyseswhether it has been suited better for the high or low volumes of production. The situations of itsvalue are analyzed along with the forecasts on 3D printing. Lastly it answers the way in which3D printing could make the conventional manufacturing outdated along with it effects. 1. 3D Printing as Additive Manufacturing:3D printing is more appropriately called as an additive manufacturing as it is a processthat can be applicable for creating 3D objects from digital files. 3D objects can only be createdusing additive processes that includes layering of successive layers of materials until the object isconsidered to be fully created. These successive layers can be seen as very thin slices of cross-section of the eventual objects (Weller, Kleer & Piller, 2015). It does not follows the subtractingmanufacturing that includes hollowing out or cutting out materials from a complete piece of theplastic or metal substances through milling machine. ASTM (American Society for Testing andMaterials) introduced Additive Manufacturing and led to the development of seven standardsthat could be helpful in classifying Additive Manufacturing processes into seven categories.
