I don't understand 3-D printing- are the things made of paper? or ink? How is it printing?
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]

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.

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.

My crowns weren't so much printed as they were carved.
