3D PRINTING 3IntroductionAccording to Wohlers (2014), we are ushering a new era of production know as 3D printing, a more digital production technique that addresses the challenges faced by traditional manufacturing methods that have changed the economic status of the world as stated by Weller, Kleer, and Piller ( 2015). The article therefore, examines the reasons that make 3D printing to be popularly referable as additive manufacturing, the suitability of the technique in terms of the level of production. The articles further examines the various areas of forecast by the leading firms that uses the technique and the traditional manufacturing that might be obsolete Why 3D Printing more appropriately called Additive Manufacturing3D printing a system developed initially by Charles Hull in 1984 is definable as a processof using digital file to make three dimensional solid objects by laying down successive layers of material (Lipson, 2014). On the other hand, additive manufacturing refers to the production process through building consecutive segments of a foamless material from the powder to have various shapes of objects. The additive manufacturing system begins by application of powder material to the building platform that is fusible together by a powerful laser beam. On top of the layer, addition of another layer of powder followed by fusion so as to bond both the segments more strongly. As 3D focuses more on generating the prints through the use of the computer, the assembly of the final object is through the use of additive method thereby making the two terms of being interchangeably and appropriately used to refer to one another. Additive manufacturing is increasingly in use in a series of production by the provision of the opportunity to create a distinctive profile based on the new customer benefits, cost-saving potential. Therefore, both the
