A Beginner's Guide to Understanding - 3D Printing.
3-D Printing. Sounds cool, right? Well, it is a very cool and unique concept, although some people still have no idea what it means. So, in this guide I will be giving you a brief description about 3-D Printing and also explain why it is considered to be the future of advanced technology. Phew !!! As always Wikipedia does a pretty manageable job of explaining stuff. But don't worry, I've got your back. So, at its core, 3-D Printing is pretty similar to regular printing. The only (major) difference is that instead of printing the output on a piece of paper, this process creates (prints) solid 3-Dimensional objects. And this is achieved using - that's right - a 3-D Printer. How Does 3-D Printing Work? Basically, a 3-D printer creates a particular object by laying down successive layers of material, starting from the bottom-most layer. Hence, at first, a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program is used to create a digital model of the desired object. This digital mo
