3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
3D printing, and open source 3D printers in particular, are the latest technology making inroads into the classroom. [ 158 ] [ 159 ] [ 160 ] 3D printing allows students to create prototypes of items without the use of expensive tooling required in subtractive methods.
Additive manufacturing, or "3D printing," is commonly used for prototyping, as the machines can create parts without the expensive tooling process or the need for skilled machining.
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model used for 3D printing. The manual modeling process of preparing geometric data for 3D computer graphics is similar to plastic arts such as sculpting. 3D scanning is a process of collecting digital data on the shape and appearance of a real object, creating a digital model based on it.
Bambu Lab's first product, the Bambu Lab X1, is a desktop 3D printer that launched on Kickstarter in 2022. The campaign raised $7 million, making it one of the most successful 3D printer crowdfunding campaigns of all time. [3] [4] Time Magazine named the X1 one of the Best Inventions of 2022. [3]
Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP; originally Continuous Liquid Interphase Printing) is a proprietary method of 3D printing that uses photo polymerization to create smooth-sided solid objects of a wide variety of shapes using resins.
