    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing

    3D printing or additive manufacturing is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model.

  3. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly ...

    3D printing in simple words is the process of starting with nothing and building up material layer by layer until it forms the final 3D object you designed on the computer. Think of it like building with LEGO, but instead of adding bricks, the 3D printer adds melted material instead.

  5. 3D printing, in manufacturing, any of several processes for fabricating three-dimensional objects by layering two-dimensional cross sections sequentially, one on top of another. The process is analogous to the fusing of ink or toner onto paper in a printer.

  6. 3D printing uses computer-aided design to create three-dimensional objects through a layering method. Sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, 3D printing involves layering materials, like plastics, composites or bio-materials to create objects that range in shape, size, rigidity and color.

    3D printing is a technique that allows you to create three-dimensional objects using a computer file and a specialized printer. Many different industries use 3D printing to create parts, structures, or prosthetics. Designers can also use 3D print files to rapidly prototype or to quickly create models of the final design of their product.
