WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?
3D Printing also known as additive manufacturing, is a method of creating a three
dimensional object layer by layer using a computer created design

It uses computer-aided design to create three-dimensional objects through a

layering method.
PRINCIPLE OF 3D PRINTING
BASIC PROCESSES OF 3D PRINTING

1) Creating a 3D Model

2) Slicing the model

3) Preparing the
printer

4) Printing the object
