That same year, Hull’s company, 3D Systems Corporation, released the SLA-1 3D printer.
Shortly after, in 1989, Scott Crump patented fused deposition modeling (FDM) – also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF) – and founded Stratasys, one of the main players in the 3D printing industry to this day. In 1988, Carl Deckard, a student at the University of Texas, licensed selective laser sintering (SLS) technology – another type of 3D printing that uses a laser to sinter powdered material into solid structures. stl format – the most common file type used for 3D printing. In 1986, the first patent for stereolithography (SLA) was filed by Chuck Hull, who is considered “the inventor of 3D printing” for creating and commercializing both SLA and the. Hideo Kodama invented one of the first rapid prototyping machines that created parts layer by layer, using a resin that could be polymerized by UV light. The earliest 3D printer originated in 1981, when Dr. Here, we’ll take a brief look at the origins of the technology, its rise in popularity, and use, and what we believe the future holds for it. While 3D printing is a relatively new technology, its history is deep, varied, and interesting – and, of course, still evolving.
