What is 3D Printing?

 

3D printing is the process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file.

 

The term "3D printing" can refer to a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined, or solidified under computer control to create a three-dimensional object, with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids, or powder grains being fused together), typically layer by layer.

 

3D printing is the opposite of subtractive manufacturing which is cutting out / hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic with for instance a milling machine.

 

3D printing enables you to produce complex shapes using less material than traditional manufacturing methods.
