3D printing or Additive manufacturing is a process of making a 
three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 
Also known as "additive manufacturing" or "stereo lithography," 
3D printing is often depicted as a mysterious and seemingly magic 
process.  3D printing turns computer models into real physical things. It 
takes different materials, from biodegradeable plastic filament PLA to ABS 
plastic to Nylon, melts it into thin layers onto a surface, moves up and 
prints another layer. After layer upon layer, you are left with a physical 
object. You can use 3D modeling software or download free things that 
people have already created, and print them out in your own home or office 
or classroom. Three-dimensional printing has been widely used in 
industrial contexts for more than two decades.  It is only recently, however, 
that 3-D printing has captured the public eye.  Greater refinement and 
reduced cost of the technology are primarily responsible for this 
phenomenon.  
Many types of 3D printers currently exist.  Every printer type 
typically uses a different material; nonetheless, all such printers employ the 
same basic technique to "print" objects:  Spraying on or otherwise 
transferring multiple layers of a material onto a construction platform, 
starting with the bottom layer. Before printing a 3-D object, you must first 
produce a three-dimensional image of the item you want to print by using a 
computer-assisted design ("CAD") software application.  The program 
"slices" your desired object into several hundred or several thousand 
horizontal layers.  Each layer is then placed on top of each other in a one-
by-one manner until the entire object develops. One type of 3D printer 
known as a selective laser sinter uses a laser beam to heat and solidify a 
granular substance into a specific pattern for every slice before repeating 
the process again and again on new layers.  This particular method is often 
used to create figurines, for instance.  Another 3d printing method involves 
the use of UV light to cure layers of resin.  Still other methods deposit 
materials into a layered pattern, much as automatic glue guns work. 
3-D Printing Advantages: 
 Three-dimensional printing allows businesses to construct working 
models in just hours instead of days or weeks  
 Generating prototypes with 3D printers is much easier and cheaper 
than making molds  
  
 Certain three-dimensional printing methods enable the production 
of objects with excellent surface features.  This makes it very easy 
to create construction models or prototypes for a wide variety of 
projects within many industries  
 Durability 
 The objects obtained in many types of 3-D printing are quite long 
lasting and durable, as they do not absorb moisture or warp over 
time 
3D printing is a disruptive technology of mammoth proportions, with 
effects on energy use, waste, customization, product availability, art, 
medicine, construction, the sciences, and of course manufacturing. It will 
change the world as we know it. Before you know it.
