Answered: [Vex U] Definition of 3D Printer

[Jabibi]

In regards to the recent answer in this thread and the rule

Teams are allowed to fabricate their own unique VEX parts from the following additional items, for each of their robots:
…
c. Two 3D printed parts, each less than 3” x 3” x 3”

What is the definition of a 3D Printer? Would a subtractive printer such as computer controlled water jet follow under this rule as a 3D printer or is it restricted to additive printing such as a makerbot?
