What is 3D printing?
3D printing is a process by which items are produced in response to a computer-generated blueprint or design. Unlike conventional manufacturing processes, the finished object is built up using thin layers of material, such as metal or plastic, rather than carved out of a block of material by drilling, sculpting or cutting, which is a subtractive process.
The 3D printer is increasingly appearing in the home office or workshop. Once beyond the reach of all but the wealthiest pockets, a drastic drop in price and rapid advances in technology have made the new generation of professional 3D printers both affordable and desirable.
