Introduction to 3D Printing

Welcome! This page explores the fundamental concepts behind the 3D printing technology, taking you through the steps involved in bringing 3D designs to life. 

What is 3D Printing? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a transformative technology rapidly changing how we design and produce objects. It builds physical objects from a digital model by depositing material layer by layer. This powerful technology has vast potential for creating functional prototypes, design iterations, and complex end-use products.

There are 3 methods of printing available in Digital Fabrication Lab; Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA) and Material Jetting (Polyjet):
