What is 3D Printing?

Understanding the basics of additive manufacturing

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a revolutionary technology that creates physical objects from digital designs. Unlike traditional manufacturing which removes material, 3D printing builds objects layer by layer, allowing for complex geometries and customized designs that would be impossible or impractical with conventional methods.

Whether you’re a hobbyist, engineer, artist, or educator, 3D printing opens up a world of possibilities. From rapid prototyping to creating custom tools, decorative items, replacement parts, and even medical devices, the applications are virtually limitless.
