This report tells you how and what a 3d printer is.

1. THE FACTS OF
3D PRINTING
BY KENNEDY

2. INTRO 3D PRINTERS
▸3D printers can help doctors, architects, and more.
▸They will revolutionize the world of printing.
▸They are very expensive.
▸They are sometimes hard to use.

3. INTRO 2
▸There is a lot to know about them.
▸They can print almost anything.
▸You can find all this info. In the awesome report I did.
▸I hope you like it.

4. WHAT IS A 3D PRINTER ?
3D printers are a new generation of
machines that can make everyday things.
They’re remarkable because they can
produce different kinds of objects, in
different materials, all from the same
machine..

5. WHAT 3D PRINTERS CAN MAKE
A 3D printer can make pretty much anything from
ceramic cups to plastic toys, metal machine parts,
stoneware vases, fancy chocolate cakes or even
(one day soon) human body parts.

6. WHAT IT CAN REPLACE
They replace traditional factory production lines
with a single machine, just like home inkjet printers
replaced bottles of ink, a printing press, hot metal
type and a drying rack.

7. HOW DO 3D PRINTERS WORK ?
You start by designing a 3D object on an ordinary home
PC, connect it to a 3D printer, press ‘print’ and then sit back
and watch. The process is a bit like making a loaf of sliced
bread, but in reverse.

8. THINK ABOUT IT
Imagine baking each individual slice of bread and
then gluing them together into a whole loaf (as
opposed to making a whole loaf and then slicing it,
like a baker does). That’s basically what a 3D
printer does.

9. MORE INFORMATION ON HOW 3D PRINTERS WORK
The 3D printing process turns a whole object
into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes
it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those
tiny layers stick together to form a solid
object.

10. LAYERS OF A 3D PRINTER
Each layer can be very complex, meaning 3D printers
can create moving parts like hinges and wheels as part
of the same object.

11. YOU CAN MAKE A BIKE WITH 3D PRINTING
You could print a whole bike =
handlebars, saddle, frame, wheels,
brakes, pedals and chain = ready
assembled, without using any tools. It’s
just a question of leaving gaps in the
right places.

12. WHY DO THEY CALL IT PRINTING
If you look closely (with a
microscope) at a page of text
from your home printer, you’ll
see the letters don’t just stain
the paper, they’re actually
sitting slightly on top of the
surface of the page.

13. IN THEORY
In theory, if you printed over that same page a few
thousand times, eventually the ink would build up enough
layers on top of each other to create a solid 3D model of
each letter. That idea of building a physical form out of tiny
layers is how the first 3D printers worked.

14. WHAT THEY CAN COST
‣ Make sure you look at the price so you know what the
actual cost is.
