Introduction to

3D Printing
3D printing is a revolutionary technology that allows you to create three-
dimensional physical objects from digital designs. It has transformed
industries by enabling rapid prototyping, customization, and on-demand
manufacturing. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of 3D
printing and its growing impact across diverse applications.
The 3D Printing Process
1 Design
Create a 3D digital model using CAD software or 3D scanning.

2 Slicing
The digital model is divided into thin horizontal layers that the 3D printer can
build upon.

3 Printing
The 3D printer deposits material, layer by layer, to gradually build the physical
object.
Benefits of 3D Printing
Customization Rapid Reduced Waste
Prototyping
3D printing enables the 3D printing produces only the
creation of personalized and 3D printing allows for quick and necessary material, reducing
customized products, from cost-effective prototyping, waste and promoting
medical devices to fashion accelerating the product sustainable manufacturing.
