3D PRINTING

3D printing is a prototyping technology where a digital model is turned into a three-dimensional object by adding material – generally layer by layer, through a computer-controlled tool.

3D printing is different from other manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining or mold casting/injection because it neither subtracts material nor requires building special tools, such as carving tools or molds for machining. Instead, it is possible to build almost any 3D object onto a platform by adding material in layers.
