You don't need different hardware, however, different hardware improves performance and is recommended. Many computers can run basic 3d applications without a video card (Without the different hardware). A video card is useful because 3d graphics is very, very heavy on the CPU (The processor inside the computer). The GPU (The processor inside the Video Card) is dedicated for 3d, while the CPU is a general-purpose processor, this means that the GPU can handle 3D much more easily than the CPU. Suppose you are playing a video game: The CPU has to handle numerous calculations, in order to reduce the CPU load, the 3D is handled by the GPU, while the CPU handles everything else.

Why do you need a different display to show 3d even if you have a powerful enough hardware?

Even with powerful hardware, a different display is needed for 3D viewing because standard monitors typically lack the capability to present depth perception and stereoscopic visuals essential for 3D effects. Specialized displays, such as 3D monitors or VR headsets, utilize technologies like polarized glasses or active shutter systems to create the illusion of depth by delivering slightly different images to each eye. This divergence in visuals is crucial for achieving the immersive experience that 3D content aims to provide. Without such displays, the 3D graphics would simply appear flat and lose their intended effect.

How do you make and print 3D photos without using 3d glasses?

You don't need glasses to make or print a 3D image. You will need a 3D camera, though. In order to view the image you will need glasses which ensure that the two slightly different perspectives reach the correct eye. This is what gives the impression of being 3D. Bear in mind that the only kind of 3D image possible on paper is an anaglyph (red/blue tinted). The brain interprets the image as 3D but there will be no colour, it will appear as "black and white".
