What is 3D printer?
• Additive processes vs. substrative processes
• 3D printing adds material instead of milling it away

2010 Prusa
• Almost no bearings, using PRINTED alternatives
• Build time reduced to few days for newbies
• Half replication time

• nobody really knows, most of the printers are crowd-sourced
• Erik de Bruijn estimated in his thesis between 3872 and 4840 people in the community (October 2010)
• But what we know for sure, community grows exponentially!!

3D printer in every home
• First in hackerspaces, which will work as 3D copy centers. Basically happens now.
• Nobody can guesstimate when 3D printer will be in every home

Why Open Source
• You can’t sell more then one self replicating machine. Its bad business model.
• Much faster development
• No worries with patents, more time for developments
• Free open source education
