The technology behind 3D printing has been in development since the 1980s and it has steadily advanced, becoming increasingly more accurate.
For a 3D model to take shape, the printer must first build the object, layer by layer. It then ejects liquid resin to harden the ultraviolet rays. Three and a half hours later, the product is complete.
Lucien Hirschi, from Zedax SA explained the process: "I take these pieces and finish them off. I do this by cleaning them with pressurised water."

I don't see what use this can have; the resulting objects are just made out of flimsy wax
