Introduction

3D printing takes a representation of an object in a digital file and uses a process that lays consecutive layers of material to develop a tangible three-dimensional replica of the object. This process used in creating the solid object is known as additive manufacturing (Munoz and Guenther, 2014). The 3D printing technology has given rise to a new type of prototyping known as rapid prototyping. Manufacturers have been the biggest gainers of rapid prototyping because the process allows them to quickly create and change prototypes.

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.
