How Does 3D Printing Work?

3D printing is when a printer is able to take 3D digital input and transforms that data into a solid form.  The transformation process produces the solid in layers.  Every object that is 3D printed is printed in many small layers.  Objects that are 3D printed can vary from all sorts of ranges.  From jewelry to Ears, it can be almost anything.  Most of the objects are made from a waxy plastic substance the is in very thin wire.  The wire coils into the layer it is told to be.  that waxy material is melted into place so it stays there. 

A 3D Printer:



People create the digital image on a 3D printing software and then they can print it.  This object is made out of a waxy plastic material







3D Printers have produced medical advantages such as the ability to recreate organs by 3D printing with stem-cells.  3D printers helped this man regain a mask of half of his face after his accident.
