RepRap
An open-source self-replicating 3D printer project dedicated to popularizing low-cost desktop 3D printing.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The RepRapMicron project attempts to transform ordinary RepRap-style 3D printers into devices capable of microscale manufacturing.
At the micron scale, the belts or high-lead screws used in ordinary RepRap architectures become bottlenecks due to issues such as thermal expansion, backlash, stepper microstep precision and vibration.
The RepRap project, launched in 2005, has enabled millions of people to own self-made 3D printers through open-source design.
The RepRap project was initiated by Adrian Bowyer at the University of Bath in 2005, as a 3D printer capable of printing most of its own parts.
The revolution in desktop 3D printing began around 2009, when the RepRap project and brands such as MakerBot reduced the price of FDM printers from tens of thousands of dollars to the thousand-dollar range.
