I had the pleasure of having a contract which involved writing copy on 3D printers some time ago. The principle behind it is very simple, it is 'printed' in layers and each layer is "printed" on the layer beneath. Not too dissimilar to lego, only the building blocks are not pre-fabricated (and much, much smaller)
