Abstract

Since the birth of 3D printing technology in 1984, it has long been used mostly for industrial prototyping. As rapid manufacturing technology evolves and becomes more readily available today, the 3D printing technology has advanced into medicine, surgical instruments, music instruments, and even the culinary industry. In the last few years, 3D printing technology is also quickly entering the product customization market to meet consumer’s demand for personalization through development of small-scale 3D printer for personal home use and 3D printing services.

Keywords: design process, 3D modeling, 3D printing
