Study Notes
3D Printing Process
- The process flow protocol that involves cutting the model into many horizontal layers is called Slicing or C.
- This process is a crucial step in 3D printing where a 3D model is divided into thin layers to be printed layer by layer.
- The slicing process prepares the 3D model for printing by generating 2D layers that the 3D printer can understand.
