3D PRINTING
Buttercup The Duck Gets Brand New 3D Printed Swim Foot
30 printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid
objects from a digital file. The creation of a 30 printed object is achieved using additive
processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of
material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly
sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. Buttercup gained international
exposure, thanks to the 30 printed leg which the Feathered Angels Sanctuary created for
him.This allowed Buttercup to walk almost as well as a normal duck.Learn More:
