3D Printing

In his 2013, second term State of the Union address, President Obama mentioned 3D printing, that it "has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything." He mentioned the additive manufacturing hub the US government is helping to fund in Youngstown Ohio and three more they are about to launch, suggesting Congress should "create a network of 15 of these hubs and guarantee that the next revolution in manufacturing is made in America."

RapidPrototyping

RepRapReplicating Rapid-prototyper

“A self-replicating machine is a construct that is capable of autonomously manufacturing a copy of itself using raw materials taken from its environment”

RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials.

“RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine”
