What is 3D Printing

Updated: Feb 15

A digital file can be used to create three-dimensional solid things via additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing.

With 3D printing, you can create intricate shapes with less material than with conventional production techniques.

Utilizing additive methods, 3D printed objects are produced. In an additive process, an object is made by adding layers of material one after another until the product is made. It is possible to think of each of these levels as a finely sliced cross-section of the object.

Subtractive manufacturing, which involves hollowing out a piece of metal or plastic using a milling machine, is the reverse of 3D printing.

Its ability to quickly manufacture a single part allows product developers to cost-effectively validate and share ideas. The purpose of your prototype will determine which 3D printing technology will be most useful. Additive manufacturing can be used to create a wide range of prototypes, from simple physical models to functional testing parts.




What is an STL file ?


The STL file format is the most commonly used 3D printing file format. It enables communication between the computer and the 3d printer hardware. You can make a 3d file on any of the CAD software (Computer aided design) and convert it to STL format in just a click, After the file has been converted in STL format, It has to be sliced into G-Code ( geometric code) in order for the 3d printer to understand and execute the commands.
