| - A few different processes involved here, sometimes under the umbrella of what's called rapid prototyping.
* SLS (Selective Laser Sintering): laser is used to bond thermoplastic or metallic powder in successive layers.
* Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM): plastic is extruded, a layer at a time, to form an object.
* Stereolithography (SLA): laser is used to solidify a liquid photopolymer in pattern, forming a layer.
- From the moment DIS Lead Creature Designer Neville Page was brought to work on Star Trek: Discovery, introducing 3D printing to televized Star Trek was an objective of his. "Because of my interest in costume design, and coming in from Tron, Oblivion, and a few other films," he explained, "I felt Discovery would be a great opportunity to utilize all these 3D modeling and 3D printing technologies that we've used in a few films, but we haven't used in this capacity on TV." Page recommended using the process to showrunners Bryan Fuller, Aaron Harberts, and Gretchen J. Berg, when Page had a meeting with them. "I had literally a bag of 3D printed parts [...] and said, 'If you don't use me, you still have to use this technology, because it will yield stuff that we've not seen in very many major f

Once created, the detailed model can be given to a 3D Scanner in which an AI can process the information and 'blow up' the final design to whatever proportions and necessary. Once the materials have been gathered, the AIs can harness on-site robotic devices to create and assemble the pieces needed to create the product. The end result is product created with computer precision and was completed in a significantly less frame of time. Though the technology itself is old, the process of fine-tuning never ends. Through 200 years of development, the processes have been looked over and edited to increase the level of detail the AIs can handle.

(Star Trek Magazine issue 190, pp. 43) For Star Trek: Discovery, the actual 3D printing has been done by the company 3D Systems/Gentle Giant Studios, which specializes in 3D printing.
