It basically works like an ink jet printer (ours actually uses print heads from an HP printer).
imagine printing off 1000 sheets of paper each as a layer of a model. Then you put all of the pieces of paper together and where there is ink is the actual model. These printers use the same logic, except instead of paper it uses a dust (like corn starch) and instead of ink it uses binder. it basically prints an image, then covers the image (like a blank page) and makes another image. and in the end the binder material creates a plastic model.
