Introduction
The 3D Printing Technology contains materials which is control by computer to
produce a physical object. The 3D object is created with a very thin layer of material by
joining them all together. In 1980 the technology started with a cost-effective prototype that
design a product and test it before the final product was manufacture. The paper is based on
the case study of a medium-size manufacturing organization whose head office is based on
Melbourne, Victoria in an industrial suburb (Xing, Zheng & Duan, 2015). As a head of the
ICT of the organization which was establish 10 years ago certain plans are made to expand
the business of the 3D Printing Technology. The organization has clients from both corporate
and retail sectors whose branches are within the Victoria. They have now started their
business operation online. The prospect of the plan is to create product of 3D printing cheaply
and effectively. In this way the organization would be able to increase their infrastructure in
other locations of Oceania region and Australia. With the expansion of the business the main
concern goes in to the authentication, security and other technological problem (Mishra,
2014). As the Head of the organization it was requested by the CEO to investigate about the
use of 3D Printing Technology and its application. They CEO wanted to know whether the
3D Printing Technology is an efficient and effective way for the business to expand. Thus, a
report will be drafted to the Executive Management in a meeting where some specific
recommendation will be made with the evaluation done on the paper.
1.) 3D printing Technology uses in five different types of applications
3D printers deposit layers of material mostly plastic material, it build a 3D object
from a computer data file through which any kind of things can be print (McMenamin et al.,
2014). 3D printing has its own limitations. The five different types of applications of 3D
Printing Technology are elaborated below.

1.1 Customized Super-Casts
Most of the teenager have a good chances of breaking at least one bone due to some
incident or accidentally. They might definitely have intractable, painful and itching
experience. As studied further, it was found that the Turkish student Deniz Karasahin had
created a 3D printed cast that contain an ultrasonic variation for healing and the Cortex Cast
by Jake Evil. Both of them uses innovative ways to utilize the 3D Printing Technology (Grice
et al., 2015). For decades the cast use took months to set a bone, limb off are seal from light
and air and it became extremely dirty and sweat-soaked that a file being case on them by
CDC. With the use of 3D printing doctors could scan the user’s arm and fix the limb in
place. Through the gaps in the material, sun and air get into the arm easily (Cesaretti et al.,
2014). It could be easily washed and also it does not get dirty. It is rigid, non-permeable
material that could fix the limb in place. It this material an ultrasonic transducer can also be
attached for 20 minutes in a day. This will accelerate the healing by 80%. Thus, there is no
need of casting the limb for long and are less likely that the limb get re-injure.
1.2. Plastic Weapons
Recently, this technology is mainly utilized by the US army in order to develop 3d
printed warheads for exercising proper control on the behaviour of various types of
explosives. It is world conditions (Chan et al., 2017). This generally have created proper
implications on the enforceability of firearms regulations all around the world.
1.3. Prosthetic Limbs
In the recent years researchers were making amazing advancements with prostheses
which are very expensive though. The mechanical prosthetics cost $10 out of $1000 as the
nature is being specialized and it could be customize for the user. This technology is
considered as one of the ideal use case for 3d printing.
