It may sound hard to believe but in one of his books, sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke first discussed the topic of 3D printing in 1964. The first 3D printer was launched two decades later, and it was used by Chuck Hull of 3D Systems to print a tiny cup. Several printers were also established by various companies in later years, and in 2009, the term "additive manufacturing" was standardized and the 3D printer was considered only as an industrial manufacturing technology.
But is it all? No! Because no!
Given the idea that 3D printers are used only for industrial purposes, this deceptive definition is in fact false. 3D printers have found their way into revolutionary technological advances ranging from education, engineering, and entertainment.
Nonetheless, 3D printing is a growing field of technology and new technologies produce new printers with additional features every year.
