3d print
3D printing uses computer-aided design (CAD) to create three-dimensional objects through a layering process. This technology is applied in agriculture to manufacture a wide range of objects necessary in agricultural processes.
For 3D printing, computer-aided design (CAD) is used to create three-dimensional objects using a layering method. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved through additive processes which consists 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 involves 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.
