A 3D printer is a printer that can produce a tangible, three-dimensional object based on digital construction drawings. This is done by building up the object layer by layer. 3D printers usually use plastic, because it is a relatively cheap and easy to manipulate material.
Gembird is a well-known brand of 3D printers that we carry in our range.
Most 3D printers have a movable nozzle, which ejects a semi-liquid material. The nozzle can move in all directions and can therefore build an object layer by layer with great precision. During printing, rapid melting and hardening processes take place to shape the material. A 3D printer uses instructions from a digital model that is built with the computer using special software.
3D printers are used in industry, model making, prototype research, experimental medicine and during the manufacture of new tools. 3D printing has also found its way into modern forms of visual art and spatial design.
