Introduction
3D printing is one of the most exciting and accessible technologies transforming how we create, innovate, and learn. Whether you’re a hobbyist, educator, or professional, 3D printing offers endless possibilities to bring ideas to life layer by layer. At Innoaddi, we proudly offer Bambu Lab 3D printers, known for their ease of use and advanced features ideal for beginners and experts alike. This guide will walk you through everything you need to start your 3D printing journey confidently.
What is 3D Printing?
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, builds objects layer by layer from digital models. Unlike traditional manufacturing, it allows for rapid prototyping, customization, and production of complex designs with minimal waste. Common applications include educational projects, prototype development, artistic creations, and small-scale manufacturing.
