As its name suggests, a 3D printer is capable of printing in a third dimension, layering upwards from a base material in additional to the two-dimensional flat printing we are all used to. Rather than ink, it uses materials like plastic. Developers believe it could one day enable people to print small products, components, and devices in their home.
