Getting Started with 3D Printing

3D printing has revolutionized the way we create physical objects. Whether you're interested in prototyping, manufacturing, or creative projects, 3D printing offers incredible possibilities.

What is 3D Printing?

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process that creates three-dimensional objects from digital designs. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing, 3D printers build objects layer by layer.

Types of 3D Printing

There are several types of 3D printing technologies:

• **FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)**: Most common and affordable
• **SLA (Stereolithography)**: High precision with excellent detail
• **SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)**: Strong functional parts
