What is 3D Printing?
A 3D Printing technology is the newly innovative, additive manufacturing process in which a three-dimensional object is formed by using a 3d CAD file or from a 3D scanner.
In 3D printing, object is formed by continuously laying down the successive layer of feeding material comes from the filament, until the complete object is formed. 3D printing process is completely the alternative of subtractive manufacturing like CNC and milling machining in which cutting is done on metal part by using various cutting tools and techniques. But in 3D printing any type of complex geometry can be formed by less material and time using.
A 3D geometry can be formed by using various CAD software like AutoCad, SolidWorks, Catia, and Autodesk Inventor and then the object file is divided into a number of layers or slices using slicer software. After that it is converted into G-code file and then forward the file into 3D printing.
These days 3D printing technology has become user-friendly and many of the people taking advantage from 3D printing technology for their businesses.
Here we discuss 5 easy ways to own your small business using 3D printing.
