In the beginning, around 2011 or thereabouts, there was an infinite variety of designs available for anyone to build their own 3D printer. There were Mendels, some weirdos were actually trying to ...

The goal of the RepRap project was always a machine that could replicate itself. The project began with the RepRap Darwin, a machine with a frame made nearly entirely of threaded rods, and progressed ...

A UK researcher who oversees a global effort to develop an open-source machine that 'prints' three-dimensional objects is celebrating after the prototype machine succeeded in making a set of its own ...

RepRap Project goal of a US$400 3d prototyping machine to build and which can fabricate objects at a cost of about US$0.02 per cubic centimeter would compete for and enable a 100,000 to 1 million unit ...

A student at Virginia Commonwealth University wants to bring the reality an idea that 3D printing enthusiasts have so far only dreamed about – printing all the necessary parts for a 3D printer, with a ...

CAMDEN, Maine -- What if instead of incurring the wrath of the authorities by torrenting movies and CDs, you could visit some shady web server that lets you download, say, a camera or a car? This -- ...

Imagine having a machine for $500 in your living room that can take your computer based specification for a 3D object and print out a plastic replica of the object in a matter of minutes. Imagine ...

RepRap is an open source hardware project that aims to create a self-replicating machine or a 'universal constructor' by using rapid prototyping. That means the machine can manufacture objects ...

The first annual Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival (RMRRF) took place in Loveland, CO, and the ATLAS Utility Research Lab crew showed up in a big way. RepRap is a global movement focused on developing ...
