Technology is rapidly transforming the manufacturing sector all around the world. Surprisingly, a substantial percentage of people are still uninformed of 3D printing and its impact on their daily lives. Did you realise, for example, that practically every hearing aid you encounter is 3D printed? Or that 3D printing is used to prototype the majority of cars that are released to the market? We've got your back. Here are 5 interesting facts about 3D printing that you may share with your friends the next time you talk about technology:

5 3D PRINTING FACTS NO ONE TOLD YOU

2. Yes, you read that correctly, anything. You can 3D print
anything from jewellery to car engines to complete houses to
even foodstuffs like pizza and pasta. 3D printing is a cutting-
edge manufacturing technology that is only limited by man's
imagination. That claim is backed up by science, which is based
on sound logic. As you may know, 3D printing is a method that
takes digital drawings and converts them into tangible items.
3D printing can be used to print almost anything.
3D Printing is older than Internet
In 1989, Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web as a
way to distribute and interlink information in the digital
environment, ushering in an era of technological advancements
and digitization of real-world operations, with the internet
serving as its backbone.
But few people realise that Chuck Hull of 3D Systems developed
the groundwork for current 3D printers in 1986, years before
Berners Lee wrote his initial WWW programme.

3. 3D printing is used to make 90% of all jewellery.
Jewellery, like hearing aids, was one of the first businesses to
recognise the value of 3D printing and integrate it into existing
business operations. Traditional ways of making jewellery
include carving the necessary forms and patterns in wax by
hand and then casting the moulds in precious metal. With the
introduction of 3D printing, the industry understood the ease
with which these wax moulds could be manufactured by 3D
printers at a considerably faster rate than human hands could.

4. NASA and Elon Musk's SpaceX have committed to sending
humans to Mars within the next 10 to 40 years, and they want to
use 3D printing to build extraterrestrial dwellings. 3D printing
robots are considerably better suited to building in space than
people, and they are also lot better at it. The winner of phase
one of NASA's design competition for building dwellings on
Mars was ICE HOUSE, which employed 3D printing and ice to
form an igloo-like structure.
3D printing will be used to construct houses in
space.
3D Printing will change Healthcare

5. Doctors and healthcare professionals all over the world are
already using 3D printing for new applications. 3D anatomical
models, which match a patient's actual anatomy, make it easier
for surgeons to understand cases and plan surgeries. 3D printed
surgical guides take things a step further; they are tools that a
doctor can employ to make high-precision cuts and drilling on
the patient's body while undergoing surgery.
Metal implants have been successfully produced, and each
patient's anatomical shape and size have been perfectly
replicated.
