This document discusses 3D printing methods, comparing inkjet printing which is fast and can print in color, photopolymer printing which uses UV lights, and laser sintering which shoots a laser and has a removable binding layer, noting laser sintering is more expensive but can create larger models. It also lists the advantages of 3D printing as being less expensive and taking less time than making models by hand, while disadvantages are the costs of the printer and the time required for printing.
