I totally got served. "I didn't read that closely" guy actually put the info I asked for in the second, "I don't pay you any mind" response...down in the original body of my request.
I
despise
that convention, but I do know people do it here instead of pasting the info back at the top, so three years in I should scroll before I bitch.
I am wearing the same blazing red as the other Jamaican lady today--I'm continually amazed at the minimum level of effort I don't put in--I passed a woman in six inch peep toe heels and perfect pedicure (almost falling over as she walked) and silk dress, a guy in two pieces of a three piece suit, brightly coloured shirt and tie, and I'm not even wearing socks (for which I'm paying dearly--my feet are freezing enough that I considered going to Walgreens and buying some something). Then again, maybe they misread the business formal email. I'm so glad they put floors in them now! No one cares about the eleventh floor. We're denim-safe down here.
Sophia, 3D printers form objects by depositing thin layers of plastic over and over.
I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper? or ink? How is it printing?
They generally print using plastic. The "print head" moves in three-dimensions, applying layers on top of previous layers to print in the "height" dimension.

A 3D printer prints a 3D object using substances like nylon or plastic (and plenty of others -- the most common use for 3D printers right now is in the dental field, making implants/bridges/crowns/etc.).
This is a pretty good article about it: [link]
In the interests of not working, I think we should play show us your shoes.

Can be, but depends on the printer--metal, polymer, plastics. They're, like, accreted (browser hates that word) layer by layer based on the "print file" sent to the printer. So you can have a model file of a birdbath, for instance, and it will go layer by layer and build one from the bottom up, fusing the material together to make a solid structure.
I am not wearing shoes, because at the beach. My toenails are OPI I Don't Give a Rotterdam. [link]

Or some things, like jewelry -- I'm thinking mostly of rings meant to be cast in precious metals -- print a wax mold, which you take to a jeweler to cast in gold.
