WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?

process of making three-dimensional objects

we are able to do this because of additive processes

additive processes- arranging multiple layers of materials until the object is whole or completed

done by a 3D modeling program or a 3D scanner

3D modeling program- used to create a new design for an object
