3 D Printing
3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a process of making a physical object from a digital three-
dimensional physical model. The object can be made using a number of printing materials, including
plastics, powders, filaments, paper or even human tissue.
3 D Printed Objects
Look at some 3D printed objects around
the world.
