When using 3D Printing to manufacture, it is possible to combine many design features into one super complex, multi-functional part (e.g. a single part can contain hinges, valves, ducts, nozzles, etc.). Printed in one go and without assembly, the intricacy of these parts is unattainable by other means. Their complex geometry often leads to improved performance and efficiency. In industrial domains where functionality is reached by assembling standard components, 3D Printing represents a new paradigm of production.
