Etymology
Printer keeps the idea of print, from the Latin imprimere meaning 'press in', but now it can mean a machine that makes objects by adding material one layer at a time. So a 3D printer is called a printer because it 'prints' a real object from a digital design, just like a paper printer makes an image on paper.
