Design of new tools include both designing objects as well as to fabricate existing designs. 3D printers need to be able to accommodate the materials and environments in which they work.

3D-printed objects are being designed with different material types and structures throughout the object, created in a single pass, without assembly of subcomponents in the final stages of manufacturing. Objects are printed already combined!

The products that emerge are more akin to organic designs than solid-block objects. You can also create a tool that will - create the tool!
