3D printing is part of digital fabrication — turning a virtual design into a tangible object.
This process bridges creativity, engineering, and innovation.
How 3D Printing Works
-
Design: Create your model in a 3D software (like Blender).
-
Export: Save it as a .STL file — this stores the model’s geometry.
-
Slice: Load it into slicer software (like Cura). The slicer divides your model into thousands of layers and generates G-code (instructions for the printer).
-
Print: The printer follows the G-code to deposit material layer by layer.
Finish: Remove supports, clean, and test your object.
