3D printing allows the user to create physical objects from a 3D digital model, done by creating “layers” that a 3D printer recognizes. The 3D printer will print the object layer by layer using a plastic-type material (filament) that is melted while printing and hardens to produce a solid 3D object.
Can a beginner use a 3D printer?
A beginner-friendly 3D printer should have a simple setup process, easy refilling process, and intuitive controls. Features like a touchscreen interface, print resume functions, robust safety features, and a heated bed (which can ensure a well-made model foundation) can make a 3D printer more user-friendly.
