What is 3D printing?

3D printing is the process of producing a real object from a digital file. These types of printers are able to build the objects by adding layers and achieve volumetric objects instead of flat ones like traditional printing. The most impressive thing about these machines is that they are capable of “printing” using practically any type of material, be it plastic, metal, cement, paper, organic material, and even food.
