The additive manufacturing process begins when the first layer of material is dispersed onto the print bed. Numerous techniques are available, whether layers are adhered together through bonding agents or heat, but the additive manufacturing process always has one thing in common: successive layers are built and then fused together to produce a solid part.\u00a0<\/span>\n<p><p>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additive manufacturing services work in direct contrast to conventional manufacturing where subtractive measures are taken to remove material in making a part. This technology is also faster, with little need for lead times or tooling, exponentially less waste in material during production, and the option to experiment with a wide range of materials, methods, colors, and finishes.<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column

formally accredited to Charles W. Hull, an engineer who went on to form the iconic 3D Systems in 1986 and to produce the first Stereolithography 3D printer in 1987. There were numerous forerunners to what we know as 3D printing, however, harkening as far back as the 1800s with more rudimentary 3D modeling and 3D printing creations like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/history-computer.com\/francois-willeme-and-the-photosculpture-complete-history\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">photographic sculptures<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and layered <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US473901A\/en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D topographical maps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another scientist, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inventionandtech.com\/category\/inventor\/dr-hideo-kodama\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Hideo Kodama<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of The Nagoya Municipal Industrial Research Institute, even pre-dated Hull in the early 1980s with a photopolymer rapid prototyping process. Hull was, however, the owner of the first 3D printing patent, and he continued from there with undeniable dedication and success in what eventually became a thriving additive manufacturing industry. Chuck Hull also single-handedly established the modern concept of rapid prototyping, allowing every generation thereafter to enjoy improved and accelerated product development.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veering in the opposite direction of conventional manufacturing and subtractive processes, Hull was originally experimenting with the idea of creating parts by applying one layer of material coating on to another to form a solid structure. Combined with his knowledge of CAD software, the process evolved into SLA 3D printing with resin materials cured layer by layer via an ultraviolet laser.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The significance of Hull\u2019s invention was not lost on forward-thinking organizations like NASA or a handful of automotive companies with the resources to begin investing in the technology. Additive manufacturing was in play behind the scenes for decades before finding its way into the mainstream. As patents began to expire around 2014 though, 3D printing was thrust into the spotlight as a revolutionary new tool. The technology gained tremendous traction, becoming popular among designers and engineers who were suddenly empowered with the ability to design and develop innovative products on their own time. By then, many other 3D printing technologies had emerged too, from desktop 3D printing with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), to other advancing industrial technology like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/3d-print-material-technology\/sls\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and even bioprinting.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLA 3D printing is still considered to be powerful, and highly respected.
