Exploring 3D Printing and Design

What is 3D printing?

• 3D printing is a technique for making two-dimensional designs on paper.

• 3D printing is a process that only uses metal to create objects.

• 3D printing is a method of painting three-dimensional images.

• 3D printing is a manufacturing process that creates three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer from a digital model.
