The MakerBot Replicator 2 makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted MakerBot
PLA Filament. Your 3D design files are translated into instructions for the MakerBot
Replicator 2 and sent to the machine via SD card. Then the MakerBot Replicator 2 heats
the MakerBot PLA Filament and squeezes it out through a nozzle to make a solid object
layer by layer. This method is called Fused Filament Fabrication [FFF].
