3D printing can help reduce waste, for example by replacing only a damaged part rather than an entire product, reducing the amount of new material needed.<\/p>\n
Printing materials have also developed, with growing attention to biodegradability and environmentally considerate processing. Biodegradable polymers are one area of interest. <\/p>\n
Degradable metals offer further possibilities for industry and healthcare.<\/p>\n
Other directions include fully automated 3D printing, intelligent printers and connections to the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n
We selected popular printable models from several well-known platforms.<\/p>\n
