  Additive manufacturing, ๐Ÿ‘ˆoften known as 3D printing, has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the 1980s. Today, it's a revolutionary technology transforming how we design, prototype, and manufacture products across various industries. Let's delve into its remarkable journey, highlighting key milestones that shaped its evolution: Early Days (1980s-1990s): Laying the Foundation 1981: Dr. Hideo Kodama in Japan invents the first rapid prototyping machine using UV-cured photosensitive resin. This laid the groundwork for stereolithography (SLA), one of the first 3D printing technologies. Opens in a new window www.tctmagazine.com 1983: Charles Hull patents stereolithography, marking the official birth of 3D printing. 1986: 3D Systems, the first commercial 3D printer manufacturer, is founded. 1987-1990s: Development of other key technologies like selective laser sintering (SLS) for metal and fused deposition modeling (FDM) for plastics. Rapid Prototyping Era (1990s
