| Abstract | ||
| Three-dimensional printing technologies are used to build parts of the product or the first model in the form of layers. There are a wide variety of available materials offering transparent, colored, opaque, flexible, rigid, high temperature and high toughness properties. Digital Materials are composite materials created by simultaneously jetting two different materials. The two are combined in specific concentrations and structures to provide unique mechanical properties and to provide a closer look, touch and function of the desired end-product. These materials are designed to answer the visual and verification requirements of designers and engineers in every industry. This research includes an experimental study to produce a package sample using different 3D printing machines. Also an analytical descriptive study of using 3d printing in Egyptian market was carried out. The study has identified that there is a wide range of 3d printing options (machines & materials) that meet different packaging field needs, and Egyptian packaging market can take benefit from 3d printing technology in various applications. | ||
