A GUIDE TO
3D PRINTING www.rsromania.com
WHAT IS
3D PRINTING? For any designer, engineer, scientist, inventor or enthusiast – 3D printing offers the potential to turn big ideas into three-dimensional reality. 3D printers take data from a computer generated model and translate that into a real, solid form. Small amounts of plastic are heated and fused together layer by layer to create a three-dimensional structure. 3D printing is already making an enormous impact in prototype development by giving the designer the ability to go from an idea to a physical object within hours. In contrast, creating prototypes using conventional methods can take weeks and is often costly. This all adds up to a faster turnaround on projects, months shaved off the design cycle and a whole lot of money saved in the process. The potential applications for 3D printing cross a huge range of business sectors from architectural, dentistry or interiors modelling to rapid product prototyping and scientific and structural research. 3D printing technology is now reliable, affordable and easily available. And the future for 3D printing is extremely exciting.

SCAN A COMPLETE
3D PRINTING SOLUTION Big or small, scan it all The Sense 3D Scanner from 3D Systems enables you to scan objects up to 3m続 and has the most versatile scan range in its class with auto-optimised settings for objects large and small. Hand-held mobility also gives you the freedom to scan spontaneously, everywhere you go, whilst automatic object recognition extracts precise targets from the busiest of backgrounds, scanning only the object you want. You can then edit with ease and prepare 3D printable files within minutes.
