inkjet , laser and 3D printers
how do inkjet printers work
1- it uses liquid ink cartridges
2- uses thermal bubble
3-rollers are used to move the paper
4- uses a moving print head that sprays ink onto the paper
5- different colored inks are mixed to create required colors

when are 3D printers used
they are primarily used in CAD (computer aided design)
how do 3D printers work
a solid object is built up layer by layer using materials like powdered resin, powdered metal, paper or ceramic powder
how does binder 3D printing work
