Introduction 3D Printing is a becoming a very popular method of production for those that need models produced quickly and on a small scale. 3D printing is the process of making a real‚ solid 3D model from it’s original digital format. The benefits of 3D printing are numerous and are continually being improved as the technology changes. With the rise of this new technology‚ it can no longer be viable for companies to sit back and ignore it. As a production company Fuse Media needs to invest

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)
