It is a process for creating solid three-dimensional objects from a digital file by layering materials. Each layer can be seen as a horizontal cross-section of the final object. 3D printing allows for the production of complex shapes using less material than traditional production methods.
The material commonly used for 3D printing is called plastic, but typically, a plastic material called ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is used in filaments wound on a coil. This material is used for its hardness and resistance, and it is perfect for 3D printing because it is solid at room temperature and melts at just over 100°C.
