i understand that there are “scanners” that tells you how much of a certain element there are in a sample.

relating to this question, are there printers that also print other material?

    Do YOU have any idea what you are talking about?

    There are “printers” that can “printer” a 3D model using a special plastic polymer.

    There are also “scanners” that can scan the dimensions of a 3D object. Most often, the input from the scanner can be used to make a plastic model of the subject using the 3D “printer”.

    BOTH are very expensive –several thousand dollars.

    Other than that — set back, take a breath, ask a clear and understandable question.
