3D Printing from Rapid Prototyping to Rapid Manufacturing
The advent of 3D printing and its use in rapid prototyping and manufacturing has drastically changed the design and manufacturing landscape by enabling companies to prototype and produce products faster and cheaper. Significant challenges remain to be addressed in future 3D printing development to achieve its full potential for future engineering systems. This talk will provide an overview of 3D printing technology and some limitations and challenges. Some of our recent work at USC will also be presented with a few remarks on future opportunities.
