Charts

18. Charts are Important
•Charts are visually appealing and make it

3D Printing

51. 51
“The first form of 3D printing was developed in the
mid-1980s by computer scientist Charles "Chuck"
Hull. It is known as stereo lithography. It uses a
tank filled with gallons of liquid plastic called
photopolymer, which hardens into a solid when
exposed to ultraviolet light.” –www.brainpop.com
