What Trends Are Reshaping The Future Of The Drafting Services Market?
The rising trend in the drafting services market is the use of 3D-printed structures. With 3D printing, the entire building's design and construction can be supported, proving to be more environmentally friendly, affordable, and time-saving compared to traditional building techniques. The digital 3D model of any object can be developed through computer-aided design (CAD) or a 3D scanner. An example is the recent launch of a new 3D printer, the AnkerMake M5C, by Anker Innovations Co., Ltd., a US-based electronics firm, in August 2023. This printer allows for feature customization with a single click, resulting in a personalized printing experience. The AnkerMake M5C, devoid of a screen or control panel, is operated through a mobile app or computer. It features a single programmable button that can be set to trigger any three functions chosen by the user.
