A decade ago, 3D printers were expensive, and 3D printing was something that only happened in science labs and high-tech companies. However, now, 3D printers are cheap, reliable, and easy to use, and so they are becoming increasingly common in homes and schools around the world.3D printing is a tangle of technologies, processes, and materials that can be difficult to understand at first. However, when you break it down to its constituent parts, you’ll see it’s quite a simple process. The complexity comes from being able to make this process reliable and repeatable.Modern 3D printers have become so easy to use that you don’t need to understand how they work to use them. However, you will be able to get much more out of them the more you know. If you’re using a 3D printer in industry or for business reasons, then a little knowledge is essential, as just knowing a few basics could save you money in failed prints and wasted materials.
