3D printing

3D printing uses computer-aided design (CAD) to create three-dimensional objects using a layering method. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved through additive processes, which consist of placing successive layers of material until the entire object is formed. Each of these layers can be seen as a cross section of the object. Sometimes called additive manufacturing, 3D printing consists of layering materials, such as plastics, composites or biomaterials, to create objects with different shapes, sizes, stiffness and colors. In the case of agriculture, they are useful because almost any object necessary for an agricultural process can be manufactured and within this there are processes of production, storage and distribution of water.
