3D printing is evolving and advancing like crazy. 3D Printing is known as additive manufacturing (AM) which are processes that create 3 dimensional objects through sequential-layer material addition. The technology has evolved to the point of being affordable to the general public and it’s seeing some new innovations like 3D Pens, thanks in part to thermoplastics that work effectively for consumer use. With the invention of 3D pens, It is now possible to create 3 dimensional figures freestyle! Join us, as we cover a few of the more popular 3D Pens, provide some purchasing guidance, and discuss why you might want one of these technological wonders. Read More
