8 Ways the Plastics Industry Is Using 3D Printing

Mold Making Technology

Once relegated to rapid prototyping, 3D printing technology has now advanced far beyond the design studio. 3D printing makes it possible to accelerate mold development and simplify design changes down the line. This 3D-printed EOAT incorporates air lines for vacuum and pressure into its design.

MIT engineers integrate sensors to devices, rotational parts with 3D printing

AU Manufacturing

In particular, the engineers created a system called MechSense that enables a maker to use conductive 3D printing filament to 3D-print sensors directly into a mechanism’s moving elements. 3D printing is a tool that a lot of people can afford to have in their homes.
