3D printer, conceptual artwork. Raw materials and pigments are entering a computer at upper left, being processed, and emerging from an engine as finished products at lower right. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, creates objects by the successive addition of layers of material. A number of techniques have been developed. The first commercial 3D printers were marketed from around 2003.
