The open source 3D printer kit was developed by
fab@home.org and costs $2,400. I looked at the assembly drawings and it looks like a syringe is driven in the x and z axis by servo moters with constant pressure on the syringe plunger. The open source software reads STL files and communicates to the printer by USB.
