 Build a 3D model using 3D modeling software such as SketchUp, Blender, or TinkerCAD OR download free model from Thingiverse.  Convert file to STL and open in MakerWare.  MakerWare “slices” file into thin, horizontal layers, preparing it for printing.  The file is sent to the machine – via USB or SD card – similar to how a design plan is sent to a computerized embroidery machine.  Plastic is loaded and dispensed on spools, and navigated through a guide tube – similar to a sewing machine.  Printer moves its extruder mechanism across the build plate, pushing out molten plastic – like a hot glue gun.
