3D Printers have the ability to make copies of tangible items by printing in layers, with the final product being 3-dimensional. 3D printing is also known as stereolithography. The 3D printers may make copies of items designed through a CAD program or items scanned on a 3D Scanner. It works by using a UV laser to cure epoxy-based resin in layers to take the shape of the 3D file.

History
The 3D Printer was developed by 3D Systems to assist developers in producing prototypes. Since the development in 1986, a larger number of companies have began producing different sizes and styles of 3D Printers, allowing for a greater variety of items to be replicated. There is currently a project to make a 3D printer to replicate itself, although it has not been accomplished yet.
