Very impressed you used the correct spelling

FDM is a trademarked name for the process.

Maybe you can call it FFF or PJP

Fair enough.

Whatever you call it, squirting plastic string through a hot-glue-gun isn't the same thing as using lasers to melt metallic powder, even though both technically qualify as "3d printing."

If anything, the New York Times' printing press is more similar to my old Commodore dot-matrix printer, as they both work by depositing ink on paper.

Remember how cool line printers were (for their day)?

Yup. We had a pair of DEC band printers connected to the VAX in college. It was amazing to watch (and listen to) those monsters run.
