3D Printing The creation of a 3-D printed object is achieved using additive processes . In an additive process , an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is formed . Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced , horizontal crosssection of the eventual object . It is used to prototype inventions , create parts for broken items and make art . Create your own 3D printed functional object or explore the possibilities with 3D created Art .
