3D printing is the type of manufacturing process or the additive manufacturing that produces three-dimensional objects. But why we call it the additive manufacturing, a curious point isn’t it? 3D printing generally works on the principle of additive manufacturing or layered printing. Different layers are laid down successively which consequently forms the thickly layered object.


The layering is done using different materials that are used in the 3D printers. Depending upon the type of the object to be created, the 3D printing materials used in it also varies. The core element of the materials can either be metallic or some synthetic objects like plastics. The usual query which might arise in your mind is how this printing technology works.

Being the part of 3D printing technology, many of us do not know even about it, its usage and most importantly the working. Though these are the technical aspects yet should know about its working.

  • The very first thing is the creation of the model by which the object would be printed. Designing work is generally done in the computers and is further scanned.
  • The designs are either created through the 3D printing software or the CAD also called Computer Aided designs.
  • Through scanners, digital copies are prepared and further using this model the real 3D object is created.

The basic part of layer printing remains the same through all types of 3D printers. It is nowadays used in the large manufacturing sectors that have greatly changed the product’s output. Starting from the creation of models until the final output, different software is used which fulfils one or the other aspects of the printing. Thus, the final output is the finished object which we obtain.
