3d
Pops off screen
3d is a less common way of writing 3D, meaning three-dimensional—having height, width, and depth rather than appearing flat.
The lowercase form appears in technical contexts, file extensions, and casual writing: 3d modeling software, 3d printer. (Capitalized 3D is more standard.)
