How 3D Printing Helps you Become Sustainable

3D printing is an ever-evolving technology. Previously, prototypes were crafted from a block of material that left behind unnecessary waste, but these days, 3D printing involves intelligent production that uses less material and is, therefore, more sustainable than ever. A study released on April 25th 2022 discusses the development of
