Özet:

Over the last years a significant increase has been observed in the use of 3D printing technologies, which have been around for 30 years. With the reduction of printing costs and time and the increase in the variety of materials that can be printed, the use of technology in the industry by means of rapid prototyping and rapid production is widespread and its application areas are diversified. In product design, one of the important application areas of 3D printing, the use of technology differs depending on the product to be designed for its purposes and effects and this requires the technology to be integrated into different forms of design processes for products with different qualities in different sectors. Thus, the importance of studies on the researching the possibility of using 3D printing technologies in product design processes in different sectors and determining the areas where they are effective is increasing. From this point of view, within the context of this study, the possibilities for the use of 3D printing in product design in the furniture sector will be tried to be presented through the practical examples based on literature and industry experiences.
