who USES IT, AND HOW YOU CAN USE IT TOO

The industries already incorporating AM into their workflow range from the aerospace and aviation industry, to the maritime and marine industry, as well as the medical field. The aforementioned Formlabs 3D-printed swabs are an example of the latter, while the marine industry incorporates 3D printed ship components like nozzle rings. The aviation industry is also heavily investing in AM, with General Electric investing over US$1 billion to acquire two 3D printing companies in 2016.

Sonova is another company that uses 3D printing to manufacture custom-made hearing aid shells.
