3D printing is a technology for manufacturing three-dimensional objects by superimposing layers of material, that is why it is also called additive manufacturing. In the last 15 years it has grown a lot in the industrial field since it allows to develop prototypes cheaper than the usual technique of molds for injected plastic, without limitation of form. In addition, it makes profitable the production of a small number of pieces and even unique pieces. That is why many of its applications are given in personalized medicine. Catalonia has become a global center of activity (hub), since have leading companies in the design and manufacture of 3D printers both industrial and domestic.
