Today, thanks to advances in technology and high-performance materials, they are being hailed as enablers of a "new industrial revolution."
The technology, which creates 3-D objects layer by layer from 2-D computer models, could transform manufacturing in the 21st century.
Wikipedia: 3D printing
...Additive manufacturing or 3D printing[1] is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using additive processes, where an object is created by laying down successive layers of material.[2] 3D printing is considered distinct from traditional machining techniques (subtractive processes) which mostly rely on the removal of material by drilling, cutting etc.
