Overview
A 3D printer is an additive manufacturing technology that enables automated construction of complex sub-assemblies via layered deposition. The technology is similar to a traditional printer, but with an additional z axis. As a central backbone of Digital Fabrication, the end goal of 3D printers is to be able to print anything.
Description
While 3D printers are additive, they bear a close resemblance to subtractive manufacturing CNC milling machines.
