3D Printing 3D printing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. A materials printer usually performs 3D printing processes using digital technology. The first working 3D printer was created in 1984 by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems Corp.[3] Since the start of the 21st century there has been a large growth in the sales of these machines‚ and their price has dropped substantially. The 3D printing technology is used for both prototyping and distributed
