Three-dimensional printing is a method of converting a virtual 3D model into a physical object. 3D printing is a category of rapid prototyping technology. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other rapid prototyping technologies.

One variation consists of an inkjet printing system. Layers of a fine powder (plaster and resins) are selectively bonded by "printing" a water-based adhesive from the inkjet printhead in the shape of each cross-section as determined by a CAD (computer aided design) file. This technology is the only one that allows for the printing of full color prototypes. It is also recognized as the fastest method. This technology is marketed commercially by Z Corporation.
