3d Print - Grade 9 10

The document provides an overview of 3D printing, including how it works using additive manufacturing by stacking layers of material to create 3D objects from a digital file. It discusses additive versus subtractive manufacturing and examples of where 3D printing is used, such as consumer products, industrial applications, medical, education, and more. The document aims to help students understand 3D printing concepts and potential applications across different fields.

What Does 3D Look Like?
How Does it Work?

Thermoplastic filament is
fed into a heating chamber in
the machine, heated to its
melting point and extruded
through a metal nozzle as
the assembly moves around
a programmed path.
