3D Printing Additives - The Compound Company

3D Printing

3D printing is a process used to create three-dimensional objects by building them layer by layer from digital models. In this method, materials such as thermoplastics, resins, or metals are selectively deposited through a nozzle or cured using a light source, depending on the printing technology. The process begins with a 3D design file, which is sliced into thin layers that guide the printer’s movements. Each layer is precisely formed and bonded to the one below it until the entire object is complete. To enhance performance and toilor the properties of the final product, various additives can be incorporated into the process.
