In the same way, additive manufacturing is “turning design and manufacturing on its head as we know it” according to Avi Reichental, the former CEO of 3D Systems (Reichental). The first 3D printer was invented in 1983 by Chuck Hull, but at the time, no one knew how his invention would impact society (Reichental). Today, new technological innovations are led by 3D printing because of its limitless manufacturing capabilities. 3D printers create objects by depositing material in layers to form 3D shapes, making it perfect for producing complex objects. It is even possible for 3D printers to produce parts with internal mechanisms in multiple different materials without the need for assembly. Many new products are rapidly being developed because of the abilities of 3D
