Abstract

3D printing technology, or additive manufacturing, offers significant advantages over traditional manufacturing techniques in terms of weight reduction, energy consumption, material utilization, and customization as well as sustainability. Notably, sustainable 3D printing methods have become crucial due to sustainable development strategies and environmental-friendly sustainable development practices all around the world. In this study, we analyze the advantages and sustainability of 3D printing technology in the production process, concluding that it is a significant driver of sustainable development. This study proposes three applications of 3D printing technology to promote a sustainable future for manufacturing and society, thereby reducing environmental impacts. By achieving goals such as reducing energy consumption, resource requirements, and carbon emissions over the product life cycle, inducing changes in the structure of the workforce. It will also shift the supply chain to a more digital and localized structure.
