When was MakerBot Industries created?
MakerBot Industries was created in 2009-01.
Where was the MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer made?
I'm a partner with Fusion3, a US-based manufacturer of commercial-grade 3D printers)My understanding is that for most of its history, Makerbot built their 3D printers out of a factory in Brooklyn, NY. However, in 2016, they outsourced manufacturing to China (MakerBot will no longer make its own 3D printers
Who makes three dimensional printers?
There are TONS of companies, but three of the main ones are Makerbot, Ultimaker, and Lulzbot.
Why was the makerbot replicator 3d printer made?
It Was Made for Education Purpose . It will given the Clear 3D Printing Views.
Definition for rapid prototyping?
I believe the term 3d printing was originally used to describe the Z Corp additive manufacturing technology. Additive manufacturing being the umbrella and 3DP corresponding to ZCorp, just as FDM relates to Stratasys, MJM to Objet, and SLA to 3D Systems. Since these technologies emerged other "brands" have come into play using similar technology. IE: Makerbot and Rap both use FDM technology. EOS and 3D Systems both make SLS machines. But What the heck do you call Z Corps specific technology?? 3D printing has now become a generic term used interchangeably with additive manufacturing. - Source: Wholer's Report 2005.
How does MakerBot's 3-D printer create a plastic object?
3D Printers can use a wide range of materials, including plastics, resins, metals, ceramics and more. The most popular material is plastic, and most of the home / desktop style printers print objects using plastic, however some of the higher-end printers are capable of printing using many different materials. Currently some of the Objet range of printers support up to 107 materials. Take a look at the Objet Materials page to learn more about the type of materials their printers support. Plastics At the moment the majority of 3D Printers, especially the low cost systems, print using a technology called 'Fused filament fabrication (FFF)', these printers currently tend to print using one of the following materials: PLA Filament PLA (Polylactic Acid) - PLA is probably the easiest material to work with when you first start 3D printing. It is an environmentally friendly material that is very safe to use, as it is a biodegradable thermoplastic that has been derived from renewable resources such as corn starch and sugar canes. ABS Filament ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) - ABS is considered to be the second easiest material to work with when you start 3D printing. It's very safe and strong, and widely used for things like car bumpers, and lego (the kids toy). PVA Filament PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol Plastic) - PVA plastic which is quite different to PVA Glue (please don't try putting PVA Glue into your 3D Printer, it definitely won't work). The popular Makerbot Replicator 2 printers use PVA plastic.
