3D Printers

A 3D printer is a type of machine that is used to create three-dimensional objects from a digital model. 3D printers are commonly used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, engineering, and design. They work by depositing layers of material, such as plastic, metal, or ceramic, on top of one another, following the contours of the digital model to create a physical object. There are many different types of 3D printers, and they are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and price ranges. Some common types of 3D printers include Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printers, which use a heated nozzle to extrude layers of plastic, and Stereolithography (SLA) printers, which use a laser to cure layers of photopolymer resin. 3D printers are typically controlled by a computer, which sends the digital model to the printer and instructs it on how to build the object. 3D printing is a rapidly growing field, and it is being used to create a wide range of products, from prototypes and one-off parts to finished goods.
