3D Printing
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates a physical object from a digital design. The printer builds the object by adding material one thin layer at a time, using substances like plastic, resin, or metal. This layer-by-layer technique allows for the creation of complex, customized shapes directly from a computer file.
