How 3D Printing Technology is
Important in 2020
What is 3D Printing Technology?
3D printing technology is also known as additive manufacturing
and includes the building of 3-dimensional material/objects
from a digital file by depositing layers on layers using a
computer-aided design model.
With upcoming technology and trends, 3D printing technology
has built objects with new geometrics. It helps in building
objects with fewer complexities and weight. The best part
about 3D printing is that it can change the design of the
components by simply changing the digital blueprints.
Recently, the world’s largest 3D-printed building was built by
the robotics construction company Apis Cor with its 3D printing
technology.

How 3D Printing Technology is Important in 2020
3D Printing Technology has been the most useful technology in 2020. As the pandemic brought a lot of issues
related to health and in the market, 3d technology helped in maintaining social distancing as well as in the
healthcare sector.
With the Coronavirus outbreak, the hospitals witnessed an upsurge in the COVID-19 patients leaving hospital
staff, doctors, and the whole healthcare industry overwhelmed with services and types of equipment. Many
industries and companies came forward to help the hospitals and doctors by providing new ways of protection
against Coronavirus by providing masks, face masks, and shields to people in need.

3D Providing Aid During Corona virus
3D Printed Face Shields
The first and very much in demand product provided and
created with the help of 3D printing technology are the 3D
printed Face Shields.
When face masks only protect your mouth and nose, the
3D printed shield mask covers the complete face even
protecting your eyes and the complete face. It comes in
the form of a plastic shield that covers your complete face
and is worn at the front of the head matching the glass of
a helmet.
The best part about the shields is that you can wipe them
clean with the help of disinfectants.

3D printed Respirator Valves
3D printed respiratory valves helped a lot of
hospitals that were out of respiratory equipment
and ventilators. It helped patients to breathe
properly overcoming the shortage of breathing
machines and ventilators.
The UAE has a strong infrastructure to
manufacture and export 3D-printed spare parts to
the region. It has more 3D printers than the entire
Middle East combined.
Also, the reports estimate that the market for 3D
printing of spare parts in the UAE is expected to
reach $600 million (Dh2.2 billion) by the end of
2023.
