A concise encyclopedia entry explaining the 3D printing process and its limitations. It describes how a print head deposits material drop by drop (similar to an inkjet printer) to build up a 3D object. The article also discusses common polymers used (like ABS and polypropylene) and design considerations such as support structures and voids in 3D-printed components.
