Thingiverse is one of the first websites [15] to allow customization of parametric designs made with OpenSCAD. OpenSCAD is a free and open source software that uses scripting to design 3D objects. [16] Many 3D printers can be upgraded with 3D-printed parts. Thingiverse users produce many improvements and modifications for a variety of platforms.
3D printing processes; Thingiverse - open CAD repository/library for 3D printers, laser cutters, milling machines; MyMiniFactory - 3D printing marketplace; CAD library - 3D repository to download 3D models; Fused filament fabrication - 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material
Cults was founded in 2014 and is the first fully independent 3D printing marketplace. [1] In 2015, La Poste established a partnership with Cults and 3D Slash to develop impression3d.laposte.fr, a digital manufacturing service, allowing users to have objects printed and shipped to them on demand.

The RepRap Morgan is an open-source fused deposition modeling 3D printer.The Morgan is part of the RepRap project and has an unusual SCARA arm design. [1] The first Morgan printer was designed by Quentin Harley, a South African engineer (working for Siemens at the time) at the House4Hack Makerspace in Centurion. [2]
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser. [1] Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in schools.
Often used in consumer-level printers when creators desire better heat resistance than PLA+ or need more flexibility. ECM Electrochemical machining, a process that uses electricity to chemically machine metal. Commonly used in 3D printed firearms to create DIY barrels with rifling, greatly increasing accuracy. FCG
The first Windows port of Softimage 3D, version 3.0, was released in early 1996. [5] Softimage 3D Extreme 3.5, released later that year, included particle effects and the mental ray renderer, which offered area lights, ray tracing , and other advanced features.
