Printers
One such 3D printer is made by Objet and it uses their proprietary PolyJet technology. PolyJet 3D printing actually works in a manner similar to regular inkjet printers. The main difference is that the "ink" is actually a liquid photopolymer that gets cured almost instantly by an ultraviolet lamp in the printer. Imagine a picture being printed on a piece of paper, but the picture has a measurable thickness to it.
