                     3D PRINTING


                 3D Printing or 3-Dimensional Printing is a process of making a physical object from a digital
                 three-dimensional  model. The  object  can  be  made  using a  few  printing  materials,  including
                 plastics, powders, filaments, paper or even human tissue.
