While Charles (Chuck) Hull with SLA can claim to be the first in patenting and commercializing a 3D printing technology in the '80, SLA was not the only RP technology in development at that time.

Choosing the right 3D printer among the various alternatives may at first seem like a daunting task. There are significant differences in how each printing technology turns digital data into a solid object. Today’s 3D printers can use a variety of materials with vast differences in mechanical properties, feature definition, surface finish, environmental resistance, visual appearance, accuracy and precision, useful life, thermal properties and more.

Sustainability is not a new topic in 3D printing. It has been already taken in consideration by several companies in the field. Today many of the materials used in 3D Printing are recycled at different levels and if we are talking about using 3D printers to build prototypes, this can be seen as a way to reduce waste, as well.

3D Systems's new ChefJet and ChefJet Pro are 3D printers that print real, edible, delicious candies of varying shapes and sizes — 3D Systems says they’re the world’s first 3D food printers. The ChefJet uses a combination of sugar and water that actually creates a sugar frosting in real time, albeit as slowly as you’d expect from a 3D printer. Candies can be made in incredibly complex shapes, some of which are even hollow skeletons that hold little spheres — all edible, of course.

3D Printing is more than just prototyping. Today, 3D Printing offers transformative advantages at every phase of creation, from initial concept design to production of final products and all steps in between.

ProJet 3D printers make accurate parts in plastic or wax for a variety of applications, from functional prototyping to end-use parts. See the top 5 reasons people fall in love with the ProJet 3500 series 3D printers and the proof from our customers.
