3D printers allow you to print in three dimensions. You can take a three dimensional electronic model and create a 3D physical version of it.
Plastic filament
3D printing is also referred to as additive manufacturing, which means you start with nothing and then you melt filament layer by layer to create the object. This is opposite of starting with a block of material and cutting away from the material to get your desired object.
3D printing allows for rapid prototyping. You’d can design and create an object relatively quickly and inexpensively. Since the designs are electronic, you can send your design anywhere and print the object on any 3D printer.
