HISTORY

  • 1980’s: birth of stereolithography technology.
  • 1990’s: 
numerous advancements and developments in rapid prototyping techniques

  • 2000’s: with the arrival of new materials and equipment that are more reliable, the world begins using the terms “Additive Manufacturing” or “e-manufacturing”.

  • 2010’s: the term “3D printing” — indicating the origin of 3D office printers — invades the media and becomes the reference for all additive manufacturing techniques, whether polymer or metal.

3D POLYMER PRINTING

There are different techniques to make parts using 3D printing. Each has its own individual advantages and restrictions.
