How does a 3D printer work?

3D printers build objects layer by layer from digital designs. Molten plastic, resin, or powder is extruded or solidified based on the design, creating a physical object. This additive process repeats until the model is complete. Different technologies exist, like FDM (plastic filament), SLA (resin), and SLS (powder).
