Simulation of 3D Printing Process Gaming Project in C++

Explanation

1. Headers:
   • <iostream>: For input and output operations.
   • <thread>: For using this_thread::sleep_for() to simulate time delays.
   • <chrono>: For time duration used in sleep_for().
2. Function Definitions:
   • void printLayer(int layer): Simulates the printing of a single layer.
     • Prints the message indicating the current layer being printed.
     • this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(500));: Simulates a delay of 500 milliseconds to represent the time taken to print the layer.
3. Main Function:
   • Initialization:
     • int totalLayers = 10;: Sets the total number of layers to print.
   • Printing Simulation:
     • Prints a starting message.
     • Uses a for loop to iterate through each layer from 1 to totalLayers.
     • Calls printLayer(i) to simulate printing each layer.
   • Completion:
     • Prints a completion message when all layers have been “printed”.

Notes:

• Simulation: This program provides a simple simulation of a 3D printing process by printing messages and pausing between layers. In a real 3D printer, the process involves complex operations and hardware control.
• Time Delay: The sleep_for() function introduces a delay to mimic the time required to print each layer.
