ADDITIVE FABRICATION TECHNIQUES

These fabrication technologies all use the same technique: laying down consecutive layers of material to produce three-dimensional objects. Each of these digital prototyping techniques requires the intervention of a computer to interpret the digital models of the item to be printed. The digital model is sliced in hundreds of layers, each transformed into a path for the machine to follow while 3D printing. Certain technological solutions ...
