3D printing has always been a matter of curiosity to layman. But for engineers and innovators, 3D printer is viewed as a machine of additive manufacturing domain. It is definitely revolutionary in that area but if we remove such a myopic vision, we can say that a 3D printer is devise giving relative motions in 3 directions. Taking the advantage of this, we can assign multiple roles to 3D printer. In normal product building process, raw materials are converted and processed with subtractive manufacturing processes. Than they are treated with number of fabrication processes for final end product. On this journey, they pass through different layouts and machines. But if we develop a single unit machine where raw product is processed and also fabricated on single bed resulting in end product, than we can bring a paradigm shift in manufacturing technology in prevailing world.
