Simple!
Can your desktop inkjet printer print a physical object like a coffee mug that you can pour coffee into then drink from this mug.
Can you color laser-jet printer print a Cell Phone mount the will hold your phone securely to your cars dash while you drive around.

It the printer your are using takes a plastic string like used in your weed eater an prints layer upon layer to form a 3 dimensional object,
An not a picture of a 3 dimensional object and this object can be used, then this printer could be a 3D Printer.


Types of 3D PRinters
Stereolithography (SLA)
Digital Light Processing (DLP)
Fused deposition Modeling (FDM)
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Selective Laser Melting (SLM)
