On the surface 3D printing is a pretty straightforward process - it's exceptionally easy to go from a 3D model file to a physical model. There are some pitfalls you should be aware of when designing for additive manufacturing though, such as overhangs, support structures, and file resolution. | On the surface 3D printing is a pretty straightforward process - it's exceptionally easy to go from a 3D model file to a physical model.
