HOW IT WORKS
The MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental 3D Printer makes solid, three-dimensional
objects out of melted MakerBot ABS Filament. First, use MakerBot Desktop Soware to
translate 3D design files into instructions for the MakerBot Replicator 2X. Then transfer
those instructions to the MakerBot Replicator 2X via USB cable or SD card. The MakerBot
Replicator 2X will melt the filament and squeeze it out onto the build plate in thin lines to
build your object layer by layer. This method is called fused deposition modeling.
