Traditional plastics are not considered a future trend in 3D printing materials due to their limited properties and environmental concerns.

Bioprinting is the process of using 3D printing to create functional human organs and tissues.

Stereolithography (SLA) is a technology that uses a continuous stream of liquid resin that is cured by ultraviolet light to create 3D objects.

Metal alloys in 3D printing offer increased design flexibility due to the ability to create complex geometries and intricate structures.

The healthcare industry is expected to benefit significantly from 3D printing technology due to its potential applications in bioprinting, medical devices, and personalized medicine.

Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a technology that uses a powder material that is selectively melted or sintered layer by layer to create 3D objects.

Producing construction tools and equipment is not a typical application of 3D printing in the construction industry.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a technology that uses a molten material that is deposited through a nozzle to create 3D objects layer by layer.

Increased manufacturing complexity is not a benefit of using 3D printing for rapid prototyping.

Digital light processing (DLP) is a technology that uses a liquid material that is cured by ultraviolet light to create 3D objects layer by layer.

Limited material options are not a significant challenge associated with the widespread adoption of 3D printing technology.

Binder jetting is a technology that uses a powder material that is selectively bound by a liquid binder to create 3D objects layer by layer.

Developing new materials for automotive components is not a typical application of 3D printing in the automotive industry.

Laminated object manufacturing (LOM) is a technology that uses a sheet of material that is selectively cut or engraved to create 3D objects layer by layer.

Increased design complexity is not a benefit of using 3D printing for mass customization.
