One of additive manufacturing’s most significant advantages is its ability to produce objects with components that are fully-assembled and movable straight out of the machine.

Traditionally, injection-molded plastic objects are made following strict criteria of uniform wall thickness, release angles, and assembly tolerances. 3D printing, thanks to its method of building up successive layers, enables the creation of variable thicknesses, with ...
