3D Printing

3D Printing, often referred to as additive manufacturing, is a process of producing tangible products from 3D digital model files.

In an additive process such as 3D printing, an object is produced by laying down precise layers of material until the object is complete. This differs from subtractive manufacturing, such as CNC machining, which hollows out a material to produce a finished product.

Benefits of 3D Printing Include



Speedy Production



Cost-Effective Materials



Less Waste

Compared to subtractive methods of manufacturing



Rapid Prototyping

From idea, to 3D model, to prototype in hand in a matter of days instead of weeks.



Rapid Manufacturing

Short-run or small-batch product production.



More Flexibility

Regarding interior model structures, compared to subtractive methods
