It's from his body, so he can do it without the costume. There's a scene from the first movie where he finds out about the web shooters accidentally.

So whats considered cannon? the comic books and the movies are seperate canons, so in the comic books, it's mechanical. In the movies, it's organic.

In the movies the web spinners are organic, a part of his mutation, what have you.
In the comics, originally they were mechanical devices. HOWEVER, about a year or two ago there was a storyline where they became organic in the comics as well. (This was during Avengers Disassembled, the precursor to New Avengers, which came before House of M, which came before the current Civil War storyline.)
Truthfully, I'm not sure what they are in the comics right now, I haven't caught mention of them either way...they very well might revert back to being mechanical.
(btw, in addition to the organic webshooters, spidey did gain a sort of insect empathy, and that aspect is largely ignored now as well, which leaves me to believe that whole change has gone away.)

Yeah, that stuff is hard to keep up with. Back when I was still reading, they were mechanical in the comics. Of course, that was literally like fifteen years ago I last read a Spidey comic...

Actually this was retconed a few years back. Marvel thought that because the mass populace knew spidey as having organic webshooters from the movie's than the comics should reflect that. So during the Spider-man: Disassembled storyline, Spidey was transformed into a giant spider. When he reverted back to human form he had a heightened spider-sense, drawing in sensory input from all insects in the area, and had organic webshooters. In the Ultimate Universe however, Peter still has mechanical webshooters. In the recent Ultimate Clone Saga arc, Peter made a reference to Jessica Drew's (Spider-woman's) web spinning abilities and noted "Organic web shooters huh? Gross...."
So the answer to your question is that technically, both mechanical and organic web shooters are cannon at this moment. Seeing as how the web shooters rarely played a part in the story after Stan Lee stopped writing the character (the last time they were even mentioned was Peter adding a warning light to show fluid was low almost 7 years ago), I doubt Marvel will revert back to the mechanical shooters.
