Today we are learning about 3D printing, which has been really interesting so far!

Some 3D printing things in my house would be mostly things made of plastic, for example, maybe a 3D printed phone case, or a pencil holder/container. 3D printing is very helpful for sustainability. This is because when you are 3D printing, you aren’t creating any waste. What I mean by this is that 3D printing goes layer by layer, so it is only creating what needs to be, and there is no excess plastic. 3D printing is also a much cheaper alternative. For example, big 3D printer warehouses in China were able to create 3 houses, and each house took under $5000 to make! 3D printing helps a lot. For example, there are lots of prosthetics that are made by printing for people. Also, doctors are trying out 3D printing for making organs that can be used for organ transplants.

Overall, 3D printing is a very important tool in our society, and it is extremely useful!
