3D Printing is the manufacturing process that creates a physical object from a digital design. There are different 3D printing technologies and materials you can print with, but all are based on the same principle: a digital model is turned into a solid three-dimensional physical object by adding material layer by layer. Every 3D print starts as a digital 3D design file – like a blueprint – for a physical object. Trying to print without a design file is like trying to print a document on a sheet of paper without a text file.This design file is sliced into thin layers which is then sent to the 3D printer.
Thanks to open source we can program our printers to create almost any object. I have printed parts for my printers, office supplies, functional prints such as light switches and brackets to hold up fences.
My name is Mike and I have been developer for about 20 years. 3D printing became a hobby which turned into a passion. This passion is why I started a 3D printing farm as well as sales and services.
