3D printing technology appeared in the mid-1990s and is actually the latest rapid prototyping device using light curing and paper lamination technologies. It works basically the same as ordinary printing. The printer contains liquid or powder "printing materials". After connecting to the computer, the "printing materials" are superimposed layer by layer under computer control, and finally the blueprint on the computer is turned into a physical object. This printing technology is called 3D stereo printing technology.
In 1986, American scientist Charles Hull developed the first commercial 3D printing machine.
In 1993, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology won 3D printing technology patent.
In 1995, the U.S. company Zcorp obtained the sole authorization from MIT and began developing 3D printers.
