3D Printing
3D Printing refers to manufacturing, research or inspection activity in the named process and application category.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The term "3D printing" covers a variety of processes in which material is joined or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object, with material being added together (such as liquid molecules or powder grains being fused together), typically layer by layer.
Delivered scope, source model, material, process, evidence and acceptance criteria define the work; materials, machines and contracted services must be separated.
What turns activity into demand
Procurement depends on the agreed deliverable, integration, rights and continuing support. Separate initial projects or software access from repeat service work when interpreting the selected market study.
The commercial boundary
Define delivered work, software rights, hardware and continuing services separately. The selected edition describes its research coverage, rather than establishing supplier capabilities.
Which supplied scope and interfaces define 3D Printing?
Delivered scope, source model, material, process, evidence and acceptance criteria define the work; materials, machines and contracted services must be separated.
