A 3D printer is a ____ device
A
input
B
output
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -3D printers are output devices used to create three dimensional objects from a 3D computer model. The computer model can be created by using a 3D scanner, or by hand using CAD modeling software.

Detailed explanation-2: -3D printers are the hardware devices that produce 3D printing outputs in paper instead of a product. It can also produce a 3D model from ready to print CAD files. It uses less material as compared to other manufacturing processes. The output is generally in the form of a 3D object.

Detailed explanation-3: -Created by Chuck Hull in 1984, the 3D printer is a device that creates a physical object from a digital model by layering materials (e.g., filament). 3D printers use polymers, plastics, metal alloys, or food ingredients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like a traditional printer, a 3D printer receives digital data from a computer as input. However, instead of printing the output on paper, a 3D printer builds a three-dimensional model out of a custom material.

Detailed explanation-5: -Printer is an output device, which is used to print information on paper. The printed output produced by a printer is often called a hard copy, which is the physical version of an electronic document. While some printers can only print black and white hard copies, most printers today can produce color prints.
