Description

Imagine if you could press "print" and then everything you'd ever need would be created. I mean EVERYTHING. Well, this isn't science fiction completely.. it's almost 100% possible thanks to 3D Printing. 3D Printing, or additive manufacturing, is a way to build real objects using a three dimensional electronic robot/device based off using 3D CAD models (computer aided drafting). The technology is still in early stages but it's quickly becoming the best way for anyone to make prototypes and cool objects that wouldn't have been possible ever before. Learn how to prototype products and even create functional objects for your home, office, or even as unique gifts for friends. Enjoy!
