 Product development

To make a product project, first, you need an 3D

modeling software, that can cost thousands dollars per
year. When you have a 3D model, the next step is to
prepare it in order to make it 3D printable.

Manufacturing Process

You need to prepare the 3D model before it is ready

to be 3D printed. This is called slicing, that consist in
slicing the 3D model hundreds or thousands of horizontal
layers. After that, the 3D printer can start doing it’s work.
It start to print the object layer by layer, in the “slices”
that were said earlier.

Technological Innovation

It would be interesting if the 3D printer could print

organic compounds, to possibly make organs, or other
organic fabrics. Also, it could use a greater variety of
materials to increase the range of usage.
