What is

3D Printing?

Imagine if you could draw something on the computer and then a machine turns your drawing into a real object you can hold!

That’s what 3D printing does by adding material, like plastic or metal, layer by layer, kind of like building with tiny blocks.

Can create more complex parts

Low cost & less waste

Huge support community

Generally slower than laser cutting

Post processing may be required

More experience needed to 3D model parts
