The 3D printing process or AM (additive manufacturing), is a technology that’s used to createc3D objects by adding materials layer by layer under computer control. The objects that 3D printing creates can be of almost any geometry or shape. They are produced using digital model data from a 3D model or other digital data source such as an AMF (Additive Manufacturing File) file. As one of the most commonly used file types, STL can be read by 3D printers. Therefore, different from materials removed from a stock in the traditional machining process, 3D printing or AM produces a 3D object on basis of a CAD(computer-aided design) model or AMF file via continuous layer-by-layer material addition.3D printing is originally known as the process which deposits binder materials onto a powder bed with inkjet printer heads layer by layer. In recently years, this term has been used in a more popular language to embody a broader variety of AM techniques. American and global technical standards use the official term additive manufacturing (AM) to indicate this more comprehensive sense. The ISO/ASTM52900-15 standard clearly defines 7types of AM processes: material extrusion, directed energy deposition, material jetting, powder bed fusion, binder jetting, vat photo polymerization and sheet lamination.
