The Prusa uses fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing, the most widely-used type of 3D printing. It uses a thermoplastic filament, which is heated to its melting point and then extruded, layer by layer, to create a three-dimensional object. This model has an upgrade which enables the 3D printer to print with up to 5 colors at the same time.
