In this episode of STEM Revolution, we explore three-dimensional printing– a subcategory of additive manufacturing.  There are many types of three-dimensional printing.  A few examples are ceramic, stainless steel and laser additive manufacturing.  Three-dimensional printing wastes very few resources because unused materials can be recollected and used again.  It also allows users to produce personalized designs.  This is especially useful in the medical field and the creation of prosthetics.  Three-dimensional printing is being used in countless areas, such as the aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries.  Despite the large energy cost, three-dimensional printing has the ability to revolutionize our world because of the incredible flexibility it allows.
