What is 3D printing?
It also know as additive manufacturing and it is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. Basically, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object.

The Innovation Lab [Makerspace @ SPC] has a Monolith printer.
• Vat Photopolymerisation• Material Jetting• Binder Jetting• Material Extrusion - Our Monolith printer uses Fused Deposition
Modeling (FDM) technology• Powder Bed Fusion• Sheet Lamination• Directed Energy Deposition
Seven processes are:
3D Printing File Types.STL – STereoLithography or Standard Tessellation Language
.OBJ – Object files define the geometry for objects. Includes textures.
.X3D – used for color printing. Also added shaders, geo-location etc.
.VRML – used for color printing. Includes 3D geometry etc.
The iLab is going to be involved in NASA's Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) initiative! We will help co-develop activities based on the STEM educational framework and on maker culture etc.
The E/PO is funded by NASA and is a "provider of educational materials for students, educators, scientists, and the public."
