Models can be created using 3D design tools such as [http://www.blender.org Blender], [http://www.sketchup.com SketchUp], Tinkercad, Autodesk123D, etc. Ready-made models can also be found on sites such as [http://thingiverse.com Thingiverse].

The computer slices the digital model into thin layers, which are deposited, layer-by-layer, by the printer. The end result is a plastic version of your digital model!
