What is 3D printing? 3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Using additive processes creates a 3D printed object. An additive process is a form of successive layering. Each piece of the object is created in layers until the entire object is printed. Every layer can be seen as a thinly sliced piece of the object. How does it work? To create a 3D object one must first start with a virtual design. The design is made in a computer aided design (CAD)
