This volume presents research and practical use of 3D technologies in various industrial branches - from water treatment to biomedical applications. Special polymer material and a thermoplastic composite reinforced with natural fibers are analysed for usability in 3D printing. Some examples of the practical application of X-ray tomography for testing structure and quality additive manufactured elements are included in this volume also. The presented research results will be helpful for specialists from many areas of modern production.
