The earlier 3D printers actually used corn starch as the medium and sugar water as the binding agent which was actually delivered by means of a ink jet printer head that traveled over a box in which layers of corn starch were spread. Buy use of a virtual 3D computer file which was basically digitally sliced layer by layer then fed to the machine it would determine the amount and shape that the sugar water was laid. Just like ink. When the right level of base was laid down then the sugar was jetted out and would bind the shape. Layer after thin layer was laid down and bound to the next. It would take hours or days to produce something. You couldn’t see the result until you retrieved it from the powder that didn’t bind. Then you blew off the excess with air and dipped it in wax for preservation.

Not very useful.
