Additive manufacturing or 3D printing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process‚ where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes.[2] 3D printing is also considered distinct from traditional machining techniques‚ which mostly rely on the removal of material by methods such as cutting or drilling (subtractive processes).

1. TEXTILE PRINTING 1.1. INTRODUCTION Textile printing is the process of applying color to fabric in definite patterns or designs. In properly printed fabrics the color is bonded with the fiber‚ so as to resist washing and friction. Textile printing is related to dyeing but‚ whereas in dyeing the whole fabric is uniformly covered with one color‚ in printing one or more colors are applied to it in certain parts only‚ and in sharply defined patterns. In printing‚ wooden blocks‚ stencils

3D PC Glasses Abstract: Only a few years ago‚ seeing in 3-D meant peering through a pair of red-and-blue glasses‚ or trying not to go cross-eyed in front of a page of fuzzy dots. It was great at the time‚ but 3-D technology has moved on. Scientists know more about how our vision works than ever before‚ and our computers are more powerful than ever before -- most of us have sophisticated components in our computer that are dedicated to producing realistic graphics. Put those two things together
