3D Design & Printing Infographic

3D design & printing, or “additive manufacturing,” is the art of fabricating a three-dimensional object from a digital file plan.  While it has a rich history of exclusive use and expensive development, 3D printing is now so affordable and efficient that consumers can use this technology to design and create their own goods.  I researched, wrote, and illustrated this infographic to give a wide overview of what 3D design entails, what types of materials can be used, and what benefits the technique offers to the world of design.  The infographic was then featured in a blog post as well as a landing page on-site.
