During the Industrial revolution industrial machinery, economies of scale, assembly line and factories were synonymous to manufacturing. 3-D printing is a widely utilised technique also known as just an additive manufacturing method to reduce energy and materials to speed innovation. It has been more than 35 years since the development of 3-D printing, presently; individual 3-D printers are accessible in the smaller size and at affordable cost. In USA 3-D printing technology has developed and has being utilised in the automobile industry extensively. 3D printing has grown more and more popular in recent years. The concept of equipment that can print things just like a paper-based inkjet printer has prompted businesses to proclaim 3D printing to be "the very next industrial revolution.” Other experts reacted with cynicism and referred to the present limits of technology including to fairly low adoption rates. 3D printing or ‘additive manufacturing' as it is known, may become the world's most disruptive technology. Paper will talk about the development of 3-D printing globally, various kinds of techniques known to the experts, its consequences in production and comprehensive functioning of 3-D printing.
