🧱 1. It Builds Things Layer by Layer
Think of it like making a sandwich 🥪—you add one layer at a time: bread, lettuce, tomato, cheese…
3D printers do the same! They build an object layer by layer, from the bottom up, using melted plastic. It's kind of like a robot icing a cake 🎂, but with super precision.
🧠 2. It All Starts with a Design
Before the printer starts, we first make a 3D model on the computer. This is like giving the printer a blueprint or instructions. It's like saying, “Hey printer, I want a small plant pot that looks like this!”
This digital file tells the printer what shape to print and how big to make it.
🔥 3. The Printer Gets to Work
The printer has something like a hot glue gun inside it. It heats the plastic, melts it, and carefully squeezes it out through a tiny nozzle.
The nozzle moves around and draws the first layer... then the next... and the next... until you have a whole object. It’s like magic, but with science!
💡 4. Why Is 3D Printing So Cool?
-
🌍 Eco-Friendly: We only use the material we need. No waste!
-
🎨 Custom Everything: Want a planter shaped like a hexagon? No problem.
-
⚙️ Super Smart: Engineers use it for rockets, doctors use it for bones, artists use it for sculpture!
And here at Infill Prints, we use it to bring nature and creativity into your home—like our modern wall planters.
🌱 Final Thoughts
3D printing is the future—but it’s already here! From toys to tools to home décor, it's changing the way we make and imagine things.
So next time you see one of our planter pots, remember: it was built layer by layer, just for you.
