When was 3D printing invented? 📌The 1980s were a dynamic period in the history of 3D printing. 📌In 1981, a Japanese inventor Dr. Hideo Kodama paved the way for 3D printing technologies. He laid the foundation for additive manufacturing and developed a system for creating three-dimensional objects through a layer-by-layer approach using photosensitive resins. 📌In 1984, a US inventor Charles (Chuck) Hull patented filed the first patent for 3D printing – the Stereolithography process, the first commercial 3D printing technology and introduced the concept of layer-by-layer fabrication, which is fundamental to modern 3D printers. 📌Before emerging in a laboratory, 3D printing was described in science fiction: ✍️in 1945, in his “Things Pass By” Murray Leinster envisaged a constructor that used “magnetronic plastics” for fabricating articles from scanned drawings ✍️in 1950, Raymond F. Jones introduced the idea of a “molecular spray” to create items in his “Tools of the Trade”. Subscribe- t.me/askmenow
