3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, describes the fabrication of 3D Objects by adding layer-upon-layer of
materials like plastics, metal and hybrid materials.
The philosophy of this manufacturing technique is to design only that which you need in your part.
Therefore only design your required features and connect these such that you have a part that works in your
application.
In this way you will save weight, material and production time.
This also is the best way of designing for sustainability concerning Additive Manufacturing.
