3D Printing:
- 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file.
- In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created.
- Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced cross-section of the object.
- 3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
