What is 3D printing? 3D printing takes a digitally created model and creates a solid, usable 3D object through an additive, layer-by-layer process. Transformation Technology – creates a new market to support existing ones. X Quarter NBOD Meeting2007 National BDPA Technology Conference 3

What is 3D printing? Like the replicators in Star Trek or The Jetsons! X Quarter NBOD Meeting2007 National BDPA Technology Conference 4

The printer 3D printers are similar to inkjet printers. Instead of ink, 3D printers deposit material in layers. Over a dozen types of printing processes! X Quarter NBOD Meeting2007 National BDPA Technology Conference 5
