BigRep is the world’s largest 3D printer with 1m3 build volume. It works on FDM technology that can use open source PLA bio degradable plastics. PLA comes in a variety of colors and types. PLA is also the cheapest and most commonly used 3D printing filament

What exactly is 3D printing?

3D printing, commonly known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a process for creating three-dimensional items. 3D printers typically use plastic polymer materials (but occasionally metal) to produce items by gluing successive layers to each other.

The production of a 3D printer, like that of many other manufacturing methods, is mapped with computer-aided designs, or CAD models. Digital models are "sliced" into individual layers and associated support structures by specialist 3D printing software (called slicers), then printed.
