3D Printing: Definition : 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital model by depositing successive layers of material. Process : Design : Objects are designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software or 3D scanning techniques. Slicing : The digital model is sliced into thin horizontal layers. Printing : The printer deposits material layer by layer, following the sliced pattern, until the object is fully formed. Post-processing : After printing, the object may undergo post-processing steps such as cleaning, curing, or surface finishing. Materials : 3D printers can use various materials, including plastics, metals, ceramics, resins, and composites, depending on the application and printer technology. Applications : Prototyping : 3D printing is widely used for rapid prototyping in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. Customization : It enables the production of customized or persona...
