Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is one of the additive manufacturing (AM) processes to produce physical 3D object in manufacturing industries. Applications are mainly focusing on increasing the customization of product design, reducing the product development time of rapid prototype, and reducing the 3D modeling and tooling costs. Product safety is merely assessed in the 3D printing applications. This paper explained the applications, technologies, materials and the trends of 3D printing in new product development (NPD) process in manufacturing industries. Four critical recommendations are explored to improve the product safety on the consumer products.
