3D Printing

3D printing is printing three dimensional objects through a computer program that makes three dimensional models. 3D printing is an amazing creation that is hard to wrap one’s head around. The technology around it is very complicated, and it can change how the world functions. It can makes things easier for people, by easily making duplicates of an object.
