3D printing refers to the processes used to synthesize a threedimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are created under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. PRC’s printer is a CUBE CUBE can print up to 2 colors at once Files must be converted in the Cubify app on computer or smart phone 3D PRINTING • Additive manufacturing • Adds small layers of plastic or metal to form a desired object • Begins with an “.stl” file • Digitally sliced • Creates instructions for the printer FILAMENT • two types of filament • ABS • PLA PLA • a plant-based, biodegradable plastic • lower melting point • easier to print with • offers a higher 3D printing speed Methods of making 3D print files: 1.Using software to create a file 2.Scanning an object (even a person!) to create a 3D rendering 3D SCANNING A 3D scanner is a device that takes an object from our physical world and turns it into a digital file • These files can then be exported to a 3D printer SCANS FINAL 3D PRINT SCANNING: XBOX KINECT SCANS TAKEN BY THE KINECT
