What is 3D printing?
Q: What is 3D printing?
A: 3D printing is a way of creating three dimensional (3D) solid objects by building up the object layer by layer.
Q: What materials are usually used for 3D printing?
A: Plastic is usually used for 3D printing because it is easier to use and cheaper. Some 3D printers can print with other materials like metals and ceramics, but they cost too much money for most people.
Q: What makes 3D printers useful?
A: 3D printers are useful because they can make new objects very fast, and are good at making them very detailed. This means an engineer can test a lot of new designs and not have to wait for someone else to make them. They are also useful for fixing parts made of plastic, and for making toys, figures, and models.
Q: Who uses 3D printers?
A: There are a lot of people who print 3D objects at home. Since 2003, many more materials printers have been sold than before. Also, the cost of 3D printers has gone down which makes them accessible to more people.
Q: How long has the technology been around?
A: The technology has been around since 2003 when many more materials printers were sold than before.
Q: How much do most 3d Printers cost?
A: Most 3d Printers cost less now than they did in 2003 due to advancements in technology that have allowed prices to go down significantly over time.
