3d Design and 3d Printing
3d printing has been used by industry since the mid 1980's. It is used to print everything from food to guns to human tissue.
Our Makerbot 3D printers work through additive manufacturing. This is accomplished by laying down thin layers of plastic, one on top of the other, to build up a 3d structure.
3D models can be built in 3d software programs or captured with a 3d scanner or digital camera.
