HOW DOES IT WORK?
It all starts with making a virtual design of the object you want to create. This virtual design is made in a CAD (Computer Aided Design) file using a 3D modeling
program (for the creation of a totally new object) ór with the use of a 3D scanner (to copy an existing object). This scanner makes a 3D digital copy of an object and
puts it into a 3D modeling program.
To prepare the digital file created in a 3D modeling program for printing, the software slices the final model into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers. When this
prepared file is uploaded in the 3D printer, the printer creates the object layer by layer. The 3D printer reads every slice (or 2D image) and proceeds to create the
object blending each layer together with no sign of the layering visible, resulting in one three dimensional object.

WHAT MATERIALS ARE AVAILABLE?
MakerBot PLA Filament is a nontoxic resin made of sugar derived from field corn and has a semisweet smell (like waffles) when heated. It is the best and most
consistent PLA filament for your MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer and guaranteed to have no heavy metals, phthalates, or BPA.
