3D Printing has come on leaps and bounds over the past few years. To the point where there is now a whole community of hobbyists and professionals sharing designs and techniques. The vast majority of 3d printers use a technique known as additive manufacturing, this is where 3d objects have built up vertically in layers as the technology is improved the things we can print can be more complex with the use of dissolvable filaments and supports, we can print almost anything.
3D printers come in many shapes and sizes from the larger machines used to print furniture, so the smaller machines used to manipulate stem cells, to make human organs, and even food. Any 3d printers are known as desktop models meaning they're small enough to fit onto a table, now these particular princes are great for designers architects and hobbyists that want to print one off models for prototyping and display.
One of the most exciting innovations with 3d printing recently is the different types of materials that we can print with, most printers use either PLA or abs plastics, but some can print metal and ceramics and others can even print wood. There are 3d printers with built-in scanners and engravers for added functionality and others that have multiple printhead, so you can print with two or more different materials at the same time. 3D printing is a fun and exciting developments in the world of printing, and it's only going to get bigger with better technology.
