Whether you’re a 3D printing enthusiast who dreams about printing and sharing designs, or an engineer who’s familiar with mechanical or industrial design looking for new ways to use 3D design skills, these ideas will help you better understand how to get started with artistic design for 3D printing.

Artistic Design For 3D Printing

Laser cutting is the process of using a laser beam to vaporize, melt, or otherwise gradually remove material. Computer Numerical Control (CNC) laser cutting commonly uses optics, an assist gas, and a guidance system to direct and focus the laser beam into the workpiece.

Computer Numerical Control is a manufacturing process in which tools or cutting head paths are pre-programmed with the use of computer software. Before CNC equipment existed, machining and cutting were completed by operating hand wheels, levers, or mechanical cams that followed a fabricated pattern.
