“What is 3D Printing? In this lesson, we are going to learn what 3D printing is. 3D printing is a very broad set of technologies called additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is a process by which material is added little by little to make a three-dimensional object. To give you an idea, the opposite would be sculpture. In sculpture, you have a very large block of material and you remove the material little by little until you get the shape you want.

A course by Agustín Arroyo
Agustín Arroyo, better known in the maker world as Flowalistik, is a product designer and educator who currently lives in Madrid, Spain. He's been passionate about creating new products since he was young; what he used to do with Legos, he now does with a computer and a 3D printer.
He's been working in digital manufacturing since 2013 and his creations are characterized by minimalist shapes, attention to detail, and, above all, functionality. He's collaborated with companies like Ultimaker, BCN3D, and Prusa Printers, creating end products, promo collections, and new designs. Most of his designs are free for download, meaning anyone with access to a 3D printer can make them.
