How 3D Printing Works
A 3D printer builds real objects layer by layer! It heats plastic filament (like a hot glue gun) and squeezes it out in thin lines, building up from the bottom. Each layer is about 0.2mm thick β thinner than a piece of paper. A small model might take 1-2 hours, while a large one could take 10+ hours. Your TinkerCAD design becomes a REAL physical object!
