Speaker: MattBrief History of 3D Printing

1984- Charles Hull invents stereolithogrpaphy1992- First SLA 3-D Printer produced by 3-D SystemsLate 1980s-1990 FDM developed and commercialized2005- RepRap Project launches. Domestic 3-D printing begins.2013-The Mutli Prototyping Lab demonstrates multi-process printing2009- FDM Patents expire, Makerbot launches DIY FDM Kit2014-Laser Sintering Patents Expire

6Open Source & 3-D PrintingOpen source licenses allow hobbyists to afford 3-D printers. RepRap, Makerbot, Fab@Home, etc.These printers are single process, usually FDM.
