# Molecular Printer

As previously described, in NBM Shadow Depths, Corporate Leaders can get their hands on pieces of equipment using different techniques. The most efficient way requires [NFTs](/nbm-shadow-depths/overview/nft-battle-miners-official-wiki/vii-shadow-depths/nfts.md) and relies on the molecular printer, a module capable of using NFTs to either [Allocate or Print](/nbm-shadow-depths/overview/nft-battle-miners-official-wiki/vii-shadow-depths/nfts/allocate-and-print.md) weaker copy of it. 

No matter the option that a Corporate Leader chooses (allocating or printing), the maximum rarity of the item that can be created depends on the level of the molecular printer. Each upgrade of this module allows the production of higher rarity equipment.
