The printing materials, mostly polymers such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or polylactic acid, lack the mechanical strength needed for making parts sturdy enough to do a useful job.
Tiertime makes a range of 3D printers that produce objects from polymeric "alloys" of acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene (ABS, the material from which Lego bricks are made).
They can make things out of a thermoplastic such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid or polycarbonate, or metallic powders, clays and even living cells.

Acrylonitrile monomers (single-unit molecules) are suspended, almost always in combination with other monomers, as fine droplets in water and are induced to polymerize to PAN through the action of free-radical initiators.
While nonmetallic materials have been plated since the mid-19th century, a period of rapid growth in the utilization of electroplated plastics began in 1963 with the introduction of ABS plastic (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), which was readily plated.
