Look at any manmade object and try to envision the planning that brought this concept to reality. Imagine the geometrical shapes and measurements drafted on paper or designed with computer aid. Had you seen these plans before that physical object was created, would your mind have been able to conceive it exactly? It’s difficult for the brain to process how an object will exist in space when we can only see a 3D picture. 3D printing solves that problem. Learn about 3D printing applications, limitations, and how it relates to sustainability.
