3D printing history development

3D printing technology in the mid-1990s, in fact, using the latest rapid prototyping devices and other light curing and paper lamination technology. It works basically the same as ordinary printing, the printer built with liquid or powder "Print materials", after the connection to the computer, the computer controls the "Print Materials" layer laminated together, eventually the computer into a kind of blueprint. This printing technology called stereoscopic 3D printing technology.
In 1986, Charles Hull developed the first commercial 3D printer.
In 1993, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 3D printing technology patent.
In 1995, the company received US ZCorp from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is the only authorized and start developing 3D printer.
In 2005, the market's first high-definition color 3D printer Spectrum Z510 by the ZCorp company successfully developed.
November 2010, the world's first printed by a 3D printer made cars Urbee published.
June 6, 2011, released the world's first bikini 3D printing.
July 2011, British researchers have developed the world's first 3D chocolate printer.
August 2011, the University of Southampton engineers have developed the world's first 3D print of an aircraft.
November 2012, Scottish scientists using human cells using 3D printer to print out the first artificial liver tissue.
October 2013, the world's first successful auction of a product called "ONO God" of 3D printing artwork.
In November 2013, in Austin, Texas, 3D printing company "solid concept" (SolidConcepts) design and manufacture of 3D printing metal pistol.
