With this way of manufacturing the main principle is to manufacture by adding material to achieve an object, contrary to mote traditional manufacturing methods were material is removed to shape an object from the raw material. Printing is seen as a superior manufacturing method because it does not generate waste material. It also enables one to make very complex items both easily and fast. 3D-scanning and object modeling can also be done in this laboratory.
