What is the history of 3d Printing?

It also known as additive manufacturing, has a rich history that dates back several decades. Here’s a brief overview of the key milestones in the history of 3D printing, along with some images to illustrate its evolution:

 

1960s

Invention of Stereolithography (SLA):

The concept of this printers began with the invention of stereolithography by Charles W. Hull in 1983. He later co-founded 3D Systems, a pioneering 3D printing company.

1980s

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Patented:

Scott Crump patented Fused Deposition Modeling in the late 1980s, which laid the foundation for the development of desktop printers.

1990s

3D Printing Industry Emerges:

During the 1990s, several 3D printer technologies and companies emerged, including selective laser sintering (SLS) and the formation of Stratasys.

2000s

Rise of Desktop Printers :

The 2000s saw the development of more accessible desktop printers, making the technology available to a wider audience.

2010s

Expanding Applications:

3D printing began to revolutionize various industries, including aerospace, healthcare, and automotive. Customized prosthetics, dental implants, and aerospace components were being printed.

2020s

Advancements Continue:

The 2020s have witnessed ongoing advancements in printers’ materials, speed, and precision, expanding its applications even further.

Future

Printing in Space and More:

The future of these printers holds promises for applications in space exploration, construction, and personalized medicine.

These images and milestones provide a glimpse into the history and evolution of its technology. It has come a long way since its inception and continues to shape industries and innovation across the globe.
