Also known as 3-D printing, three-dimensional printing

layer-by-layer additive process used to make a three-dimensional object

AI overview

3D printing is a manufacturing process that builds objects layer by layer, adding material until the final three-dimensional form is complete. It matters because it offers a different approach to creating physical objects compared to traditional manufacturing methods that remove material.
