3D Printing Explained

3D Printing Explained

3D printing (a.k.a. additive manufacturing) is the process of stacking thin layers of material to build a complex object or structure. Engineers create a CAD (computer-aided design) file which is later used to produce the build. The printer uses the CAD file to virtually divide the object into thin layers. This file acts as a […]
