3D Printing Community in Egypt

Step 1. Select a Design
If you know how to use CAD software, great. If not, that won't stop you. Here's where to turn at every stage of the learning curve.

If this is one of your first 3D print jobs, the easiest option is to use someone else's work. Check Etba3ly 3D Gallery for more options. There are also links to free online libraries where you can download free 3D models to print. Many files allow you to customize a design to the measurement, resolution, or weight you need. Now it is easy to start 3D printing In Egypt.

If you can't find an existing 3D design online and you don't know CAD, you'll need to hire a designer. Costs are based on complexity and time, but expect to pay 50 to 250 L.E  an hour for a customized design file. Find freelance 3D designers on  Etba3ly 3D's Community.  Crowd that list rates, specialties, and services. 3D printing was never that easy. Etba3ly 3D is bringing 3D printing to Egypt.

You're ready to try it yourself.
Several 3D-printing apps allow you to build products of your own without having to know CAD. Apps typically have a narrow focus, such as building smartphone cases or transforming kids' doodles into 3D figurines, but are fast and easy to use. When you're done, simply download the design file generated by the app, upload it to the printer, and get printing.

Step 2. Choose Your Material
The first 3D printers produced only plastic parts. Today's machines can handle a growing variety of materials.

PLA : Basic Plastic 

ABS : Better Plastic Quality that can resist heat and is more Strong

Rubber : More Flexible and a rubber like material

Wood: Yes you can print with  wood like material on Etba3ly 3D

Full Color Sand Stone: Print Full Color Prrints

Full Color paper like.


Step 3.  Upload Your model on Etba3ly3D.com
Go For access to exotic materials and high-end printers, outsource. Etba3ly 3D  allows you to upload a design, select materials, then receive printed objects in the mail. You can Also pick it up at Etba3ly 3D office and Stores.

Tips
• Learning 3D-modeling design can get crazy quickly. For a simple introduction to CAD software, check out Tinkercad, a free site that teaches fundamentals such as placing, adjusting, and combining objects.
• Fab Lab and Etba3ly 3D, two retail maker spaces, are great places to learn the printing process. Many locations offer classes to nonmembers or can connect you to a 3D-printing expert. For unlimited or unsupervised access, consider becoming a member.

3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D 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
