What is 3D printing? If you’ve had any nagging questions when it comes to how or why 3D printing works, we’ve put together everything you need to know in one place. Here are all your 3D Printing Answers.

The press (Sculpteo/blog included) put out daily updates about the great advancements when it comes to 3D printing. A 3D printed car here, a 3D printed headphone there, printers in space, 3D printed objects in space, the list goes on indefinitely. But they rarely take the time to slow down and answer – what is 3D printing?

Well wonder no more! The Sculpteo team has put together all of the answers in one place – our newly created 3D Printing Pages. There you’ll find everything from an explanation of 3D printing to modern applications to the 3D printers that are on the market now.

The information is divvied up into two parts: 3D printing basics/examples & 3D printing technologies. In the basics section you’ll find an overview of 3D printing (otherwise known as additive manufacturing) as well as a link to our recently released eBook, The Top 20 3D Printing Stories of the Year, which includes the biggest projects that were manufactured through Sculpteo’s services in the past year.

In the 3D printing technologies section, you’ll find a link to our explanation of the different 3D printing techniques, our guide to professional grade 3D printers and a comparison of 3D printing versus traditional manufacturing techniques.

So if you have any questions, take a look at those pages — or feel free to ask in the comments!
