When the RepRap project was started in 2005 by [Dr Adrian Bowyer], the goal was to develop low-cost 3D printers, capable of printing most of their own components. The project slipped into a bit of a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 -- ...

The RepRap project was originally a British initiative to develop a free desktop 3D printer that can print most of its own components itself. RepRap (short for replicating rapid prototyper) uses an ...

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 ...

Quentin Harley describes himself as a self-taught hacker from Centurion, just north of Johannesburg in South Africa. He's a softly-spoken engineer for Siemens and a member of a local makers collective ...

CES 2013 proved to be something of a coming out party for consumer-facing 3D printers. Sure MakerBot earned a fair amount of attention at last year's show with the announcement of the Replicator, ...

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 ...

GOSHEN — Excited chatter over the soft whir and zip of machines, bent on painstaking tasks to grow designs from scratch, returned to the Elkhart County Fairgrounds this weekend as the Midwest RepRap ...

Community members wishing to see the cutting edge of 3D printing technology can expect a full show in east Loveland this weekend. The first ever Rocky Mountain RepRap Festival will be coming to ...
