The home fabbers are more or less squeezing hot glue guns and making shapes with the line of "glue" as it dries, versus the additive/subtractive commercial grades. ISTR one that made papier mache models by layering paper and laser-cutting it as it went. And then there are the sintering dropbox printers that fill a box with powdered material and fuse it with a laser, dropping the focal point bit by bit and leaving the unfused powder as a support.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
