But first, what is 3D printing? Here’s a clear and simple description. 3D printing uses an additive manufacturing process to print these items. The magic is not in the final product, but in the process. It allows you to dream up any item, and have it made real through the wonders of 3D printing! And in a wide range of materials (metal, ceramic, wood, plastic, sandstone) and finishes.
