3d printer
Chuck hull thinks about creating the 3d printer -
1980
The first 3D printer, which used the stereolithography technique, was created by Charles W. Hull in the mid 1980s. Stereolithography is largely an expensive commercial technique, with machines often costing $100,000 or more.( In stereolithography, a UV laser is shined into a vat of ultraviolet-sensitive photopolymer, tracing the object to be created on its surface.) -
1986
Hull founded 3D Systems, a company that today sells 3D printers that use a variety of technologies and range from entry-level kits to advanced commercial systems -

printer is fused deposition modeling (FDM), also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). In it, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), or another thermoplastic is melted and deposited through a heated extrusion nozzle in layers. The first 3D printers to come to market, made in the mid 1990s by Stratasys with help from IBM, used FDM -

Designers use 3D printers to quickly create product models and prototypes . Among the items made with 3D printers are shoe designs, furniture, wax castings for making jewelry, tools, tripods, gift and novelty items, and toys. The automotive and aviation industries use 3D printers to make parts. Artists can create sculptures, and architects can fabricate models of their projects. Archaeologists are using 3D printers to reconstruct models of fragile artifacts. -

opinion
the 3d printer is an amazing invent. it is a big advance in the technology because it can help improve the world especially to scientific or architects. this printer is small but is very expensive.
it increible that this printer created organs and houses. so i am very excited and happy because i want have the 3d printer -
glossary
stereolithography:A process for creating three-dimensional objects, in which a computer-controlled moving laser beam is used to build up the required structure, layer by layer, from a liquid polymer that hardens on contact with laser light.
photopolymer: A light-sensitive polymeric material, especially one used in printing plates or microfilms.
acrylonitrile: A pungent, toxic liquid, used in making artificial fibres and other polymers -
