Executive Summary
The goal of this report is to suggest a 3D printing technology for a small sized
organization in Victoria. On behalf of Head of the organization, the best printing application is
suggested in this report that will make the procedure of the organization faster. The organization
mainly produces printer and computer system for the business organization in Victoria and wants
to expand its business in Australia. This can best happen with the use of 3D printing technology
in the organization. The details of 3D printing technology are elaborated in this report along with
some recommendations for the organization that is to be followed.

1. Introduction
3D printing is a growing fast along with the technology of additive manufacturing. This
3D printing uses the powder material like metal as well as plastic for constructing the object that
is based on the digital file of the model.
Digital model that is used in 3D printing provides optical scanning that makes the model
visible in 360° angle all around the scanning target with the help of visible light (Mendis,
Lemley & Rimmer, 2016). The surface construction software of 3D technology calculates,
creates, as well as modifies a surface image of the model in 3D, and transmit the data to 3D
printer. The solid model in 3D printing is formed layer by layer.
The case study that this report deals with is basically a medium sized company situated in
Victoria. This organization deals with retail as well as corporate clients (Ambrosi & Pumera,
2016). The organization wants to expand its business to Australia and wants to make their
models cheaply with the help of 3D printing technology. This report deals with 3D printing
technology needed for this company.
This report mainly describes the technology of 3D printing that is used in most of the
companies nowadays. This report elaborates the definition of 3D printing technology that is used
in the industries to build a 3 dimensional model. This report all describes five different types of
applications that use 3D printing and the most three appropriate application that is required for
the case study. There are many advantages as well as disadvantages of 3D printing that are
elaborated in this report. This paper describes the use of 3D printing technology in different
types of industries and finally recommends about 3D printing technology for the case study that
is given.
