3D Printing
Filament
Its thermoplastic feedstock for fused deposition modeling 3D printers. There are many types of filament available with different properties, requiring different temperatures to print.

3D Rapid
Prototyping
Rapid prototyping is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data.

Object
Editing
Objects can be edited in a number of ways. Objects can be deleted or moved. Individual vertices in objects can be inserted, moved, or deleted. Edges of objects can be deleted.

3D Model
Preperation
A 3D-printable object must have a manifold shape — it must be completely without holes and (in essence) “watertight” to print successfully.
