Yes, you can print pieces of guns.

Yes, there are 3D Printers out there that can 3D Print food. View some of them here.

Filament 3D Printers are most commonly used to print Metal items.

The 3D printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, then makes it from the bottom-up, slice by slice. Those tiny layers stick together to form a solid object. Each layer can be very complex, meaning 3D printers can create moving parts like hinges and wheels as part of the same object.

Most software will have an “add supports” option in the program. All you need to do is select the option to add supports and have it done automatically for you or you can manually input them on your design.

We found an Article that gives great advise on getting rid of layer lines. Read more here.

There are no limitations to be known at this time.

3D Printing offers Flexible Design where you can print just about anything. 3D printing can manufacture parts within hours, which speeds up the prototyping process.The production of parts only requires the materials needed for the part itself, with little or no wastage as compared to alternative methods which are cut from large chunks of non-recyclable materials. As a single step manufacturing process, 3D printing saves time and therefore costs associated with using different machines for manufacture. 3D printers can also be set up and left to get on with the job, meaning that there is no need for operators to be present the entire time.

You can make just about anything with a 3D printer. you just need to create it in a software program like CAD or Blender.

3D Printers print an object from a digital file in layers.

3D printing is the process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file such as an STL file.

Build Space is the area within an additive manufacturing system where parts are constructed. A volume within the build chamber for enclosed systems or on the build platform for non-enclosed systems.

You can 3d print just about anything you can create in software program such as CAD or Blender.

Alot of the 3d printers these days come with programs to 3d print such as Formlabs who has their own program called preform. For other open source 3d printers you can use programs like Simplify 3D.

The different types of 3d printers are SLA, FDM, SLS, LCD, Polyjet, DLP, EBM, and LOM 3D Printers.

The most common materials for Resin 3D Printers are Standard, Clear, Draft, Tough, Rigid, High Temp and Flexible. The most common materials for Filament 3D Printers are ABS, PLA, PETG, Nylon, TPU and HIPS.
