* Color jet printing uses inkjet technology to deposit a liquid binder across a bed of powder.  Powder is released and spread with a roller to form each new layer.  This technology was originally developed by Z Corporation.<ref>http://www.3dscentral.3dsystems.com</ref>

[[Fused deposition modeling]] is handled by 3d systems' hobbyist level printer line.  These printers use a heated extruder to deposit a thermoplastic along complex toolpaths, one layer at a time.  A good visual model of this is using a hot glue gun to build a 3d model.  The hot glue gun (a hand powered extruder) would have to build things one layer at a time, depositing a string roughly the width of the extruder orifice.  Once a layer has cooled and hardened, the next layer can be built until the model is complete.  FDM limitation(contracted; show full)
