Integration between 3D printing and sustainability in architecture and furniture

Many scientists showed a clear interest in 3D printing since the sixties of the last century, but the first appearance of this technology was in the eighties, and then inventions and research followed, and many patents were issued. 3D printing was considered the third industrial revolution after mechanization and assembly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As it is possible to produce any shape and whatever the material intended for manufacturing, it also enabled people to print their own models without the need for factories, and 3D printing offers huge offers for production applications and this technology is used in) industrial design, architecture, engineering, construction, interior design (

3D printing technology is a fast emerging technology. Nowadays, 3D printing is widely used in the world Now 3D printing technology is increasingly used in the production of any kind of designs in the field of agriculture, health care, automobile industry, locomotive industry and aerospace industries. 3D printing technology can print a product layer by layer deposition of materials directly from a computer-aided design (CAD) model.

The benefits of 3D printing are reduced manufacturing time, lower manufacturing costs, the ability to manufacture complex designs, also it is sustainable and environmental friendly technology could be used to publish sustainable architecture and sustainable interior design thoughts.
