3D Printing is a operation for making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, basically by laying down multiple sequential thin layers of a material. It transform a digital object into its physical object by adding layer by layer of materials.

How Do 3D Printers Work?
Fundamental innovations of 3D printing
- Manipulation of objects in their digital model
- Manufacturing of new shapes by material.
3D printing used in almost all industries and have various technologies forms and materials. It’s a clutch of diverse production with a tons of different applications.

A few examples:
• Consumer products (home appliance, furniture)
• Industrial products (manufacturing tools)
• Healthcare Industry
• Prosthetics (An artificial replacement of body parts)
• Construction & Home Development
• Computers & robots
• Architectural models & sketch
and many more....
Use of Rapid Prototyping in 3D printing
Fast and relatively cheapest way to create 3D models from idea into holding prototyping. Prototyping are create in efficient and cheaper way with less expensive tools and molds.
