What is 3D Printing?
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, builds objects layer by layer directly from digital models. Learn how this technology transforms design, prototyping, and production in Dubai.
How 3D Printing Works
Digital Design
Create or import a 3D CAD model; slicing software converts it into thin layers with toolpaths.
Layer-by-Layer Fabrication
The printer deposits or cures material—plastics, metals, resins—layer by layer to build the object.
Post-Processing
Remove supports, cure resins, and finish surfaces to achieve the desired quality.
Core 3D Printing Technologies
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Molten thermoplastic is extruded through a nozzle.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Liquid resin is cured by UV laser for high precision.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Powdered materials are fused by a high-power laser.
