What is it?
Why is it important?
The process of printing a three-dimensional object is similar to inkjet printers, but works over multiple layers to build up the Z-axis.
While commercial 3-D printing only works with limited metals and plastics, researchers are experimenting with more exotic materials, from wood pulp to carbon nanotubes, that

3D printing has the potential to revolutionise a great number of industries including automotive, medical, dental, business, industrial equipment, education, architecture, and consumer products.
Laser Cutting

What is it?
Why is it important?
A laser cutter is a flat bed CNC machine that moves a powerful laser across an xy plane to cut through a range of materials, including woods, plastics and metals.
The price of laser cutters (both commercial and personal) have fallen dramatically in the last 5 years. This, combined with their ease of use, has made them the most popular fabrication tool amongst Makers.
Interpreting a 2D image file into points, the laser cutter is capable of following complex paths and producing results with a fine level of detail. The laser can either burn a thin line though a sheet of material or, by varying its intensity, burn partly through it, to etch or engrave

It's flexibility with materials makes it an invaluable resource that can speed up a project and increase the quality of finish. They're fast, cheap and quiet Some CAD software is capable of brekaing down a 3D object into 2D layers that can be fabricated on a laser cutter.
