What can a 3D printer print

Hello,

A 3D Printer is a printing technology that uses Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to produce 3D objects. The mediums used are typically ceramic, plastic, glass and metal.

To produce a 3D print, the medium is placed in a thin foundation and the 3D printer applies a powerful heat using its laser. The heat will melt the medium and will mold it in a specific pattern according to the model of the design.

3D printing technologies are popularly used by designers in the field of engineering, architecture, dental and medical industries and also popular for crafts like jewellry makers, fittings and footwear.
