Energy Efficient Material as 3D Printing Supplies
1. Introduction
1.1 Background
The 3D printing technology has become popular nowadays (Sharma, 2013). This technology has made it possible for mankind to produce almost everything they can imagine. Furthermore, since the energy efficient material is a new concept that has been developed in recent years, a discussion on the potential application of those materials in this additive manufacturing method appears to be necessary.
1.2 Definition of Terms
As the first issue of this essay, some key terms should be defined. According to Oxford
Dictionary (2014), 3D Printing means a process for making a physical object from a threedimensional digital model, typically by laying down many successive thin layers of a material.
Comparing with the conventional manufacturing process, this technology can reduce the waste
