Optimizing 3d Print Machining for FTC

A 3D printer creates parts by printing a part in many layers. There are many different types of 3D printers that all use different methods for printing their layers; the most common examples are , , and .

3D printing can be used to create parts that have complex geometry that would be impossible to create on a mill or other machine.
