What is 3D Printer

1.

Is used to produce an object based on a computer-generated model. The object is created by repeatedly layering thin material down to form the object. A 3D printer uses computer software (computer-aided manufacturing – CAM) that directs the printer to produce an object.

2.

A machine allowing the creation of a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, typically by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession. Learn more in: Technological Developments: Industry 4.0 and Its Effect on the Tourism Sector

A machine that creates a physical model from a three-dimensional digital model. Learn more in: Makerspaces and 3D Printing: A Learning-by-Doing Professional Development Model for Preservice and Inservice Teachers

4.

A device which allows the making of three-dimensional object by the use of additive process in which successive layers of material are laid down under computer control.
