In the mid-1990s, a Minneapolis-based company called Stratasys introduced the first 3D printer model, co-developed with IBM. Since then, 2D designers across the world rely on 3D printers to bring their CAD (computer aided design) mockups to life. As one of the earliest pioneers in the field, Stratasys has now teamed up with HP to manufacture the HP Designjet 3D printer series, the first relatively affordable 3D printer made by a major 2D printing company.

Designing a product on paper and turning it into a physical three-dimensional plastic model relies on a patented process Stratasys calls "Fused Deposition Modeling technology", which creates the product layer by layer using thin slabs of semi-molten plastic.
