3D PRINTERS
What is 3D Printing? 3d printing, as the name suggests prints 3-Dimensional Objects rather than 2-Dimensional Pictures on a paper or some other material. It uses 3D modeling software and printers that operate on 3 axis x, y, and z. And instead of normal ink it uses fast hardening materials, for example such as plastic that doesn't melt into liquid but semi-liquid state that can stick together and cool-down quickly to solid to allow 3d objects to be printed. Modeling: 3d models require the use of CAD which stands for Computer Aided Design, which is a type of software that uses the computer to help make simulated 3d models/designs and also help the printer understand how to print an object. Some well-known CAD softwares are: Fusion 360 SolidWorks Onshape Tinkercad Blender Besides using CAD to make a model you can also scan 3d objects using 3d scanners and importing those to a printer directly or to a CAD software to refine the scan. ...
