What Is Not Suitable For 3d Printing?

1.	What Is Not Suitable For 3d Printing?
Answer» When it comes to 3D printing, a lot is possible – but even more still isn’t possible. Using an FDM 3D printer, you cannot achieve an industrial-grade polished surface. This has to be post-processed. Using an FDM 3D printer, you cannot achieve an industrial-grade polished surface. This has to be post-processed. Now on a hypothetical level, it is not YET possible to 3D PRINT a functional, complex electro-mechanical machine or product (like a car) in one go, even though INDIVIDUAL parts can be 3D printed no problem. But researchers are already working on “production 3D printers“. Also, bioprinting is not advanced enough yet to 3D print fully functional customized human organs on more than an experimental basis. That technology may still be some years off.
